Is there a way to ignore a dependency at specific line with a comment?

[vlsi]

How are you running Renovate?

Mend Renovate hosted app on github.com

What is your question?

I'm using Gradle Kotlin DSL, and I would like to ignore certain version because I have several declarations of the same library, and I do not want Renovate to touch one of them. The other should be maintained as usual.

I tried adding // renovate:ignore, however, it did not help:

• https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/blob/13dca1e5b6076572884fbaf6cd7a5c6338ae3c41/build-logic/jvm/src/main/kotlin/build-logic.test-junit5.gradle.kts#L16
• fix(deps): update dependency uk.org.webcompere:system-stubs-jupiter to v2 - autoclosed pgjdbc/pgjdbc#3057

I tried several workarounds in renovate.json, but none of them helped:

• pgjdbc/pgjdbc@5051ab3
• pgjdbc/pgjdbc@5f48b07

Look for their entries in packageFiles with updates and paste the contents here

I was able to workaround the issue with the following:

    {
      "matchPackageNames": ["uk.org.webcompere:system-stubs-jupiter"],
      "groupName": "system-stubs-jupiter",
      "matchCurrentVersion": "< 2.0",
      "enabled": false
    },

Here is a complete renovate.json how I ignored them

{
  "groupName": "all dependencies",
  "groupSlug": "all",
  "separateMinorPatch": true,
  "separateMajorMinor": true,
  "dependencyDashboard": true,
  "branchConcurrentLimit": 0,
  "prConcurrentLimit": 0,
  "prHourlyLimit": 0,
  "dependencyDashboardApproval": true,
  "automerge": false,
  "lockFileMaintenance": {
    "enabled": false
  },
  "encrypted": {
    "npmrc": "xxxxx"
  },
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "matchDatasources": ["docker"],
      "matchPackagePatterns": ["^ghcr.io"],
      "enabled": false
    },
    {
      "groupName": "all dependencies",
      "groupSlug": "all",
      "matchPackagePatterns": ["*"],
      "ignoreDeps": [
        "private-package1", 
        "private-package2",
        "private-package3"
      ]
    }
 ]
}

I'd still like to have that option, extending the renovate config is a little cumbersome in comparison to a comment on that line :)
