It integrates directly into colcon-core as an extension, letting you specify which packages to include during build, test, or other workspace operations.\n\nThe package is in Alpha status and has been dormant since its last release in October 2020. While it has low install friction and carries a permissive Apache 2.0 license, the lack of recent maintenance means it may not be compatible with newer versions of colcon-core or have unresolved issues. It is most useful in large multi-package workspaces where selective builds are essential.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use colcon and need to select package subsets in your workflow. Install friction is minimal and the Apache 2.0 license is unencumbered. However, verify compatibility with your colcon-core version first\u2014dormancy since 2020 means it may lag behind current colcon development, and you should confirm it works with your setup before relying on it in production."},"id":"colcon-package-selection","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colcon-package-selection","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colcon-package-selection.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/colcon-package-selection/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-10-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"colcon-package-selection","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Extension for colcon to select the packages to process."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":183786,"position":10057,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.10"}
