fix: handle UTF-16LE-encoded manifests on Windows Prior to Bazel 8, manifest files containing non-ASCII characters were written with UTF-16LE encoding instead of UTF-8 on Windows: - bazelbuild/bazel#24231 - bazelbuild/bazel#24350 - bazelbuild/bazel#24403 This led to disable failing tests in CI: `//tests/zip:unicode_test`: ``` File "pkg\private\manifest.py", line 59, in read_entries_from raw_entries = json.loads(fh.read()) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xbb in position 338: invalid start byte ``` `//tests/mappings:utf8_manifest_test`: ``` File "tests\mappings\manifest_test_lib.py", line 39, in assertManifestsMatch got = json.loads(g_fp.read()) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xbb in position 354: invalid start byte ``` Since the manifest is plain JSON, the fix simply consists in detecting whether the second byte is `0`, where the default UTF-8 decoding would fail, in which case we assume the file is UTF-16LE-encoded. The code is slightly reorganized to factor out the encoding selection. This allows to enable `//tests/mappings:utf8_manifest_test` and `//tests/zip:unicode_test` tests in Windows CI.
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: 
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.
Sample, but see releases for the current release.
