I just found at a comment on github there's a way to ignore certain packages when I release a metapkg repository How exactly is it done?
Suppose in package foo with a tag bar, create bar.ignored on the home directory of foo? And inside of bar.ignore listed are the names of packages that I don't to release like the following?:
pkg-foo-a
pkg-foo-b
It has nothing to do with metapackages.
When releasing a repository, which contains one or more packages which may or may not be metapackages, you can create a file in the master branch which starts with the track name and has the extension .ignored. So if you are running the track hydro, then any packages (separated by whitespace) in the hydro.ignored file in the master branch will be ignored.
When being ignored a package will not have release branches or debian branches generated and it will not be included in the automatically generated diff nor the pull request.
The explicitly ignored packages will be noted in the README.md summary on the master branch of the repository.
Like this:
https://github.com/wjwwood/roscpp_cor...
Edit by @130s The link to wjwwood/roscpp_core-release above no longer exists. This in ros-gbp/ros_comm-release might be another good example.
William's link no-longer works, so here is another example:
