I want to use Pants with

--changed-since

with

--changed-dependents

to only rebuild the necessary images in my CI pipeline. The best way I've found to achieve this is to use

pants --filter-target-type="docker_image" --changed-since=<COMMIT_SHA> --changed-dependents=transitive publish

. Is there an easy way to invert this operation, in order to output image targets that haven't changed? I want to run a separate CI-job to re-tag these old images with the new tag. Right now I'm using

pants --filter-target-type="docker_image" :: list

to get all the possible docker targets and differencing the outputs in order to get the set of images that haven't changed, but this feels hacky.

Imho, not hacky at all. A lot of missing features can be scripted using existing pants commands.
