Purposeful Skipping Packages Upon Release

[scottschreckengaust]

Describe the feature

Skip packages during a release

Use Case

When one package wants to release and another author has merged changes that does NOT want to release there is not a way.

Proposed Solution

TBD

• build directive fileSKIPPED_PACKAGES - list of all the packages to skip if found
• semaphore file SKIP - file within the package to signal skipping

Other Information

It could be failing tests, or just feature not fully ready or releasable.

Acknowledgements
