Pinning to major and/or minor versions along with renovate

[bhundven]

Question

This is related to #2747 and #2354, where the "latest release" is not the same as the "latest version", but it got me curious in a repository where I am also using renovate to keep versions up to date with the latest release of a specific version.

Say I have kubectl requirement of staying at v1.29.x, and v1.30.0 is released, but I don't want to go to v1.30.0, I'd like to stay at v1.29.x.

The latest version of kubectl is at v1.29.3. Say v1.30.0 releases, but I'd like to stick to v1.29.3 until v1.29.4 is released.

Without using renovate, aqua up will automatically update to the "latest version". I'm looking for a way to pin to the major or minor version of a release.

With using renovate, I'm not aware of a way to pin packages like this with aqua-renovate-config.

Background of the question

I use the example of kubectl from #2747, but say I were to use packer or terraform as the package, because when you upgrade to a newer minor version, you may have to refactor code(hcl2) to fix any breaking changes the new minor or even major version might introduce. But new releases (maj.min.release) may have non-breaking bug fixes or CVE fixes.

Thank you for your feedback.
Regarding Renovate, I think you can disable major and minor updates like this.

   "packageRules": [
      {
        "packageNames": ["kubernetes/kubectl"],
        "matchupdatetypes" ["major", "minor"],
        "enabled": false
      }
   ]

Regarding aqua up command, aqua doesn't support this yet.
I think it would be great if aqua supports this feature.

This is just one idea.

  - name: golang/vuln/govulncheck@v1.0.3
    update:
      # If enabled is false, aqua up command ignores the package.
      # If the package name is passed to aqua up command explicitly, enabled is ignored.
      # By default, enabled is true.
      enabled: false
      # The condition of allowed version.
      # expr https://github.com/expr-lang/expr is used.
      # By default, all versions are allowed.
      # The version must meet both allowed_version and types.
      allowed_version: semver("<= 1.5.0")
      # The list of allowed update types
      # By default, all types are allowed.
      # major, minor, patch, other
      types:
        - minor
