Description

mkc ignore include instruction that allows to override dependencies with local packages.

Here is an example: https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-jacdac/blob/master/mkc.json#L7

If you build pxt-jacdac/packages/servo for example, it should not download pxt-jacdac from github, but use the local package as defined in https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-jacdac/blob/master/links.json

Research direction

Start by examining the mkc.json include example and the corresponding links.json in pxt-jacdac, then trace how mkc resolves dependencies when building pxt-jacdac/packages/servo. Verify the current build behavior and make the local package override work instead of downloading pxt-jacdac from GitHub.
