Overridable `debuginfo` type (#945)

This change enables the override of the auto-detected
`/etc/os-release`-based `debuginfo_type` attribute of the
`build_repo_for_rpmbuild_toolchain` repository rule and allows the
auto-detection by means of a new `default` option.

This also enables the use of` none` as an override option.

This change also includes a regeneration of the documentation, which
seems to have trailed recent code changes. But there are no
documentation changes related to this change as
`build_repo_for_rpmbuild_toolchain` repository rule is not documented
(yet).

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")
