how to skip custom extensions during tce-update
« on: November 08, 2019, 02:48:03 PM »
I have some custom extensions that cause tce-update to complain ("Error Could not verify <extension_name>.tcz").
It's just a cosmetic issue, but I was wondering: Is there a way to specify extensions that should be ignored during an update?

As I recall, customised extensions will be ignored if they do not have an associated md5sum file.

Ah, that explains why some custom extensions were causing errors but not others.
Yes, I can confirm that if md5sum file is missing, the extension doesn't get checked for update. No need for the blacklist file :D
Thanks, juanito.
