Override implementation of a script in a specific package

[derrik-fleming]

Say I have three packages, A, B, and C. I want a script build defined at the top-level. For packages A and B the implementation of this script is identical, but if I were to run the script on C it would fail. I still need a build script for C but it isn't the same implementation as C.

Coming from other similar tools I've used, they offer the ability to override the implementation of build in package C by placing their equivalent of a melos.yaml at the root of package C.

When executing melos build from the repo root build, as it's defined in ./melos.yaml, would run for packages A and B but for package C it would source build's definition from ./packages/C/melos.yaml.

I'm aware of packageFilters, for my specific scenario they seem less than ideal. Is there a better way supported by Melos?

I don't think we'd want to extend the scripting capabilities by introducing new files.
For these cases I would just have a script with two steps with different package filters.

If a good override syntax contained within the root melos.yaml file that could be considered I think.
