[FR] do not install

[Cologler]

I am installed dotnet-sdk from visual studio installer.

When I install the package LINQPad (depends on dotnet-sdk), scoop will auto install dotnet-sdk unless I use --independent parameter.

There is no easy way to see if any package depends on dotnet-sdk before install.

Can scoop keep a list to auto skip some dependencies?

Maybe a file flag:

~\scoop\apps\dotnet-sdk\
    |- DO_NOT_INSTALL <--- a empty file

LINQPAD do not depend on dotnet-sdk since 13. December

@Ash258 linqpad and dotnet-sdk just a example here.

Then this is covered in #2217 and related to #3769

I don't think scoop can add a "provides": ["dotnet.exe"] to visual studio installer.

this is a seperate but related problem. cologler is talking about the automatic detection of already installed dependencies that weren't installed from scoop.
e.g. if you install something that requires something like 7-zip which you can install independently of scoop, it shouldn't install 7-zip again.
