-# The correct syntax is:
+# You can blacklist using regular expressions.
+#
+# Don't use *full* regex here, because all of the following will be checked 
+# for the regex: series, name, version, arch, build, and fullname.
+# When blacklisting packages, you can use extended regex on package names
+# (such as xorg-.* instead of xorg-server, xorg-docs, etc), and a trailing 
+# slash for package series ("n/", "ap/", "xap/", etc).
 #
-# To blacklist the package xorg-server-1.19.4-x86_64-1 the line will be:
+# To blacklist *only* the "xorg-server" package, use this:
 # xorg-server
 #
-# DON'T put any space(s) before or after the package name or regexp.
-# If you do this, the blacklist will NOT work.
-
+# To blacklist *all* of the "xorg-server-*" packages, use this:
+# xorg-server.*
 #
-# Automated upgrade of kernel packages aren't a good idea (and you need to
-# run "lilo" after upgrade). If you think the same, uncomment the lines
-# below 
+# To blacklist the entire KDE package set, use this:
+# kde/

+# You will need to escape any special characters that are present in the
