what

  • Add a new optional file to each package directory: VERSIONS-SKIP
  • Do not auto-update a package to a version listed in VERSIONS-SKIP

why

Some projects' latest versions are defective in some way. Usually, those projects release a later version that fixes the issue, and we can proceed normally, but occasionally the projects languish in this broken state. In that case, we try and fail to auto-update the project twice a day, leaving broken PRs open indefinitely.

With this new feature, we can mark those versions as bad and prevent auto-update from re-opening PRs for them.
