Getting updates on older versions of a package

[callumacrae]

We're using jQuery 1.x and React 0.14.x at work, and we don't want to update them because we can't drop support for IE8 (😞 ). Currently whenever there is a release of jQuery 2.x, we get a PR which we immediately ignore, and whenever there is a release of jQuery 1.x, we don't know about it.

Is there any way to configure this behaviour?

Don't know about configuring for getting new newest 1.x, but can add an ignore array to your package.json in order to get rid of the unwanted 2.x PRs for now (#47).

"greenkeeper": {
  "ignore": ["jQuery"]
}

I wish that there was a way to have Greenkeeper stop trying to upgrade us to Vue 2.x when we're still on Vue 1.1.x as we're not in a place to upgrade yet.

Would it be helpful if we would allow to not only ignore package names, but package names with version numbers? E.g. something like this?

  "greenkeeper": {
    "ignore": ["jquery > 1"]
  }

Not making any promises, just gathering more opinions :)
