How to avoid MRs for maven snapshot from feature branches

[ahoehma]

How are you running Renovate?

Self-hosted Renovate

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

Please tell us more about your question or problem

I would like to "pin" renovate to update only "normal" snapshot versions for a particular dependency.

Currently I got something like this:

2025.2.0-SNAPSHOT -> 2025.2.0-lpz_2359-SNAPSHOT

lpz_235 is a feature-branch based version of this dependency.

I need to say only "[version]-SNAPSHOT" ... not sure how to tell renovate to ignore all "[version][-feature]-SNAPSHOT".

Kind regards
Andreas

Are the versions always like 1.2.3 and not 1.2 or 1.2.3.4?

[ahoehma]

Yes. In my case its always like this: year.1-or-2-numbers.1-or-2-numbers[-SNAPSHOT].
I need to exclude all the "feature-version" for this artifact.

If it's varied, then you would need to define allowedVersions with a regex pattern to define which patterns are allowed
