incompatibility with OCA module_change_auto_install

[pniederlag]

auto_install feature in manifests can become quite a nightmare as one ends up with dozens of unwanted modules loaded into a project. For example I now see all of the l10n_XX modules to be loaded.

OCA has a fine module to cope with this problem https://github.com/OCA/server-tools/tree/18.0/module_change_auto_install

However it seems this is not probably not working with dob?

Is there any solution in dob in order to skip loading modules with auto-install: True?

In the YAML config files, modules can be specified to be whitelisted or blacklisted for installation. See the last point in the linked section, which states:

repos -> dict
  - Configuration of the repositories to load
  - Check [git-aggregator](https://github.com/acsone/git-aggregator) for more
  - Additional the `modules` entry allows a list of globs to whitelist/blacklist modules
    - Starting with "!" blacklists a module which won't getting loaded

Example

To forcefully not install the module "that_auto_installed_module" of some repository "foo":

repos:
  parts/foo:
    modules:
      - "!that_auto_installed_module"
