Description#

Exempt package releases from the cutoff.

Exemptions are match specs, a bare package name exempts every release. A package has a single exemption, so to exempt several versions, combine them in one spec, e.g. python==3.11.18|==3.12.16. An existing exemption of the same package is replaced, with a warning if that moves its cutoff later.

An exemption with a version only exempts the releases that are already published, so e.g. a later build of an exempt version is not exempt.

Example: pixi global exclude-newer exempt openssl==3.2.1 conda-forge::ruff pixi global exclude-newer exempt openssl==3.2.1 --cutoff 2026-10-12
