[FR] Ignore a given package #404

Open theogf opened 2 years ago

When CompatHelper is used for subdirs, e.g. docs or eventual examples, one wants to use the latest commit version of the current PR or of master/main from the parent repo/package. Therefore putting a compat for the parent package does not makes sense. A solution would be to pass a list of packages to ignore when running CompatHelper.jl, maybe a blacklist keyword?

As a short-term workaround, if you put a compat entry of the form e.g.

[compat]
Foo = ">= 1.2.3"

Then CompatHelper won't make any PRs to modify the compat entry for Foo.

My problem is that I would like to not put any compact so that the GH actions for creating the docs and other things use the dev version of the package.

a blacklist keyword would indeed be nice.

The propoesd workaround does not set an uper-bound and hence would not work if I don't want to support a new breaking version of a dependency (for lack of bandwidth to upgrade or other reasons).

A few options off the top of my head:
