Bring testing for bzlmod vs. non-bzlmod up to date with bazel features

Head and LTS have bzlmod enabled by default, so:
- stop enabling the flag explicitly
- stop calling out "bzlmod" in the test name, that is now assumed, only nobzlmod needs naming

- Do the packaging test against workspace only for bazel 7 and earlier.
  - we probably could drop the workspace test entirely. It is essentially meaningless now

Bazel package building

Bazel rules for building tar, zip, deb, and rpm for packages.

For the latest version, see Releases (with WORKSPACE setup) / Documentation

Use rules-pkg-discuss@googlegroups.com for discussion.

CI: Build status

Basic rules

Package building rules

  • pkg - Rules for building packages of various types.
  • examples - Cookbook examples for using the rules.

As of Bazel 4.x, Bazel uses this rule set for packaging its distribution. Bazel still contains a limited version of pkg_tar but its feature set is frozen. Any new capabilities will be added here.

WORKSPACE setup

Sample, but see releases for the current release.

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
http_archive(
    name = "rules_pkg",
    urls = [
        "https://mirror.bazel.build/github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg/releases/download/0.9.1/rules_pkg-0.9.1.tar.gz",
        "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg/releases/download/0.9.1/rules_pkg-0.9.1.tar.gz",
    ],

)
load("@rules_pkg//:deps.bzl", "rules_pkg_dependencies")
rules_pkg_dependencies()

To use pkg_rpm(), you must provide a copy of rpmbuild. You can use the system installed rpmbuild with this stanza.

load("@rules_pkg//toolchains/rpm:rpmbuild_configure.bzl", "find_system_rpmbuild")

find_system_rpmbuild(
    name = "rules_pkg_rpmbuild",
    verbose = False,
)

MODULE.bazel setup

bazel_dep(name = "rules_pkg", version = "0.0.10")

To use pkg_rpm(), you must provide a copy of rpmbuild. You can use the system installed rpmbuild with this stanza.

find_rpm = use_extension("//toolchains/rpm:rpmbuild_configure.bzl", "find_system_rpmbuild_bzlmod")
use_repo(find_rpm, "rules_pkg_rpmbuild")
register_toolchains("@rules_pkg_rpmbuild//:all")
