Bazel package building & fetching rules
Bazel rules for packaging and fetching (for Debian and other distribution channels).
Use rules-pkg-discuss@googlegroups.com for discussion.
Basic rules
Package building rules
- pkg - Rules for building packages of various types.
We are currently in the process of migrating the Bazel packaging rules from Bazel to this repo. Tracking issue: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8489.
Bazel now uses this rule set for packaging it's distribution. It still contains a vestigial early version of these rules, but those will be removed in a future release.
debian specific rules
-
deb_packages - WORKSPACE rule to fetch deb files from Debain style mirror servers
-
update_deb_packages - update the hash and path of files mentioned in
deb_packages
rules
Background
The deb_package
rules originated in the
distroless project as well
as discussions about the goal of that project and are intended as a way to
retrieve bundled software packages from various places.
The initial scope is currently targeting Debian
style distributions, because
the Bazel docker rules allow
optional deb
and tar
files to be included in their container images. That
work was done in December 2017.
