### Common Attributes

These attributes are used in several rules within this module.

**ATTRIBUTES**

| Name              | Description                                                                                                                                                                     | Type                                                               | Mandatory       | Default                                   |
| :-------------    | :-------------                                                                                                                                                                  | :-------------:                                                    | :-------------: | :-------------                            |
| out               | Name of the output file. This file will always be created and used to access the package content. If `package_file_name` is also specified, `out` will be a symlink.            | String                                                             | required        |                                           |
| package_file_name | The name of the file which will contain the package. The name may contain variables in the form `{var}`. The values for substitution are specified through `package_variables`. | String                                                             | optional        | package type specific                     |
| package_variables | A target that provides `PackageVariablesInfo` to substitute into `package_file_name`.                                                                                           | <a href="https://bazel.build/docs/build-ref.html#labels">Label</a> | optional        | None                                      |
| attributes        | Attributes to set on entities created within packages.  Not to be confused with bazel rule attributes.  See 'Mapping "Attributes"' below                                        | Undefined.                                                         | optional        | Varies.  Consult individual rule documentation for details. |

See
[examples/naming_package_files](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg/tree/main/examples/naming_package_files)
for examples of how `out`, `package_file_name`, and `package_variables`
interact.

<a name="mapping-attrs"></a>
### Mapping "Attributes"

The "attributes" attribute specifies properties of package contents as used in
rules such as `pkg_files`, and `pkg_mkdirs`.  These allow fine-grained control
of the contents of your package.  For example:

```python
attributes = pkg_attributes(
    mode = "0644",
    user = "root",
    group = "wheel",
    my_custom_attribute = "some custom value",
)
```

`mode`, `user`, and `group` correspond to common UNIX-style filesystem
permissions.  Attributes should always be specified using the `pkg_attributes`
helper macro.

Each mapping rule has some default mapping attributes.  At this time, the only
default is "mode", which will be set if it is not otherwise overridden by the user.

If `user` and `group` are not specified, then defaults for them will be chosen
by the underlying package builder.  Any specific behavior from package builders
should not be relied upon.

Any other attributes should be specified as additional arguments to
`pkg_attributes`.

Provides rules for creating RPM packages via pkg_filegroup and friends.

pkg_rpm() depends on the existence of an rpmbuild toolchain. Many users will
find to convenient to use the one provided with their system. To enable that
toolchain add the following stanza to WORKSPACE:

```
# Find rpmbuild if it exists.
load("@rules_pkg//toolchains:rpmbuild_configure.bzl", "find_system_rpmbuild")
find_system_rpmbuild(name="rules_pkg_rpmbuild")
```

Creates an RPM format package via `pkg_filegroup` and friends.

    The uses the outputs of the rules in `mappings.bzl` to construct arbitrary
    RPM packages.  Attributes of this rule provide preamble information and
    scriptlets, which are then used to compose a valid RPM spec file.

    This rule will fail at analysis time if:

    - Any `srcs` input creates the same destination, regardless of other
      attributes.

    This rule only functions on UNIXy platforms. The following tools must be
    available on your system for this to function properly:

    - `rpmbuild` (as specified in `rpmbuild_path`, or available in `$PATH`)

    - GNU coreutils.  BSD coreutils may work, but are not tested.

    To set RPM file attributes (like `%config` and friends), set the
    `rpm_filetag` in corresponding packaging rule (`pkg_files`, etc).  The value
    is prepended with "%" and added to the `%files` list, for example:

    ```
    attrs = {"rpm_filetag": ("config(missingok, noreplace)",)},
    ```

    Is the equivalent to `%config(missingok, noreplace)` in the `%files` list.


**ATTRIBUTES**


| Name  | Description | Type | Mandatory | Default |

This is usually what you want.   | String | optional | "" |
| <a id="pkg_rpm-binary_payload_compression"></a>binary_payload_compression |  Compression mode used for this RPM<br><br>            Must be a form that <code>rpmbuild(8)</code> knows how to process, which will             depend on the version of <code>rpmbuild</code> in use.  The value corresponds             to the <code>%_binary_payload</code> macro and is set on the <code>rpmbuild(8)</code>             command line if provided.<br><br>            Some examples of valid values (which may not be supported on your             system) can be found [here](https://git.io/JU9Wg).  On CentOS             systems (also likely Red Hat and Fedora), you can find some             supported values by looking for <code>%_binary_payload</code> in             <code>/usr/lib/rpm/macros</code>.  Other systems have similar files and             configurations.<br><br>            If not provided, the compression mode will be computed by <code>rpmbuild</code>             itself.  Defaults may vary per distribution or build of <code>rpm</code>;             consult the relevant documentation for more details.<br><br>            WARNING: Bazel is currently not aware of action threading requirements             for non-test actions.

Package creation helper mapping rules.

This module declares Provider interfaces and rules for specifying the contents
of packages in a package-type-agnostic way.  The main rules supported here are
the following:

- `pkg_files` describes destinations for rule outputs
- `pkg_mkdirs` describes directory structures
- `pkg_mklink` describes symbolic links
- `pkg_filegroup` creates groupings of above to add to packages

Rules that actually make use of the outputs of the above rules are not specified
here.


<a id="#filter_directory"></a>

## filter_directory

<pre>
filter_directory(<a href="#filter_directory-name">name</a>, <a href="#filter_directory-excludes">excludes</a>, <a href="#filter_directory-outdir_name">outdir_name</a>, <a href="#filter_directory-prefix">prefix</a>, <a href="#filter_directory-renames">renames</a>, <a href="#filter_directory-src">src</a>, <a href="#filter_directory-strip_prefix">strip_prefix</a>)
</pre>

Transform directories (TreeArtifacts) using pkg_filegroup-like semantics.

    Effective order of operations:

    1) Files are `exclude`d
    2) `renames` _or_ `strip_prefix` is applied.
    3) `prefix` is applied

    In particular, if a `rename` applies to an individual file, `strip_prefix`
    will not be applied to that particular file.

    Each non-`rename``d path will look like this:

    ```
    $OUTPUT_DIR/$PREFIX/$FILE_WITHOUT_STRIP_PREFIX
    ```

    Each `rename`d path will look like this:

    ```
    $OUTPUT_DIR/$PREFIX/$FILE_RENAMED
    ```

    If an operation cannot be applied (`strip_prefix`) to any component in the
    directory, or if one is unused (`exclude`, `rename`), the underlying command
    will fail.  See the individual attributes for details.

    created by `pkg_files`, `pkg_mklink`, etc.) that have something in common,
    such as a prefix or a human-readable category.

General-purpose package target-to-destination mapping rule.

    This rule provides a specification for the locations and attributes of
    targets when they are packaged. No outputs are created other than Providers
    that are intended to be consumed by other packaging rules, such as
    `pkg_rpm`.

    Labels associated with these rules are not passed directly to packaging
    rules, instead, they should be passed to an associated `pkg_filegroup` rule,
    which in turn should be passed to packaging rules.

    Consumers of `pkg_files`s will, where possible, create the necessary
    directory structure for your files so you do not have to unless you have
    special requirements.  Consult `pkg_mkdirs` for more details.

| <a id="pkg_files-prefix"></a>prefix |  Installation prefix.<br><br>            This may be an arbitrary string, but it should be understandable by             the packaging system you are using to have the desired outcome.  For             example, RPM macros like <code>%{_libdir}</code> may work correctly in paths             for RPM packages, not, say, Debian packages.<br><br>            If any part of the directory structure of the computed destination             of a file provided to <code>pkg_filegroup</code> or any similar rule does not             already exist within a package, the package builder will create it             for you with a reasonable set of default permissions (typically             <code>0755 root.root</code>).<br><br>            It is possible to establish directory structures with arbitrary             permissions using <code>pkg_mkdirs</code>.   | String | optional | "" |
| <a id="pkg_files-renames"></a>renames |  Destination override map.<br><br>            This attribute allows the user to override destinations of files in             <code>pkg_file</code>s relative to the <code>prefix</code> attribute.  Keys to the             dict are source files/labels, values are destinations relative to             the <code>prefix</code>, ignoring whatever value was provided for             <code>strip_prefix</code>.<br><br>            If the key refers to a TreeArtifact (directory output), you may             specify the constant <code>REMOVE_BASE_DIRECTORY</code> as the value, which             will result in all containing files and directories being installed             relative to the otherwise specified install prefix (via the <code>prefix</code>             and <code>strip_prefix</code> attributes), not the directory name.<br><br>            The following keys are rejected:<br><br>            - Any label that expands to more than one file (mappings must be               one-to-one).<br><br>            - Any label or file that was either not provided or explicitly               <code>exclude</code>d.<br><br>            The following values result in undefined behavior:<br><br>            - "" (the empty string)<br><br>            - "."<br><br>            - Anything containing ".."   | <a href="https://bazel.build/docs/skylark/lib/dict.html">Dictionary: Label -> String</a> | optional | {} |

Note that this is only             applied to full directory names, see <code>strip_prefix</code> for more             details.<br><br>            Use the <code>strip_prefix</code> struct to define this attribute.  If this             attribute is not specified, all directories will be stripped from             all files prior to being included in packages             (<code>strip_prefix.files_only()</code>).<br><br>            If prefix stripping fails on any file provided in <code>srcs</code>, the build             will fail.<br><br>            Note that this only functions on paths that are known at analysis             time.  Specifically, this will not consider directories within             TreeArtifacts (directory outputs), or the directories themselves.             See also #269.   | String | optional | "." |

pkg_mkdirs(<a href="#pkg_mkdirs-name">name</a>, <a href="#pkg_mkdirs-attributes">attributes</a>, <a href="#pkg_mkdirs-dirs">dirs</a>)
</pre>

Defines creation and ownership of directories in packages

    Use this if:

    1) You need to create an empty directory in your package.

    2) Your package needs to explicitly own a directory, even if it already owns
       files in those directories.

    3) You need nonstandard permissions (typically, not "0755") on a directory
       in your package.

    For some package management systems (e.g. RPM), directory ownership (2) may
    imply additional semantics.  Consult your package manager's and target
    distribution's documentation for more details.

Define a symlink  within packages

    This rule results in the creation of a single link within a package.

    Symbolic links specified by this rule may point at files/directories outside of the
    package, or otherwise left dangling.

<a id="#pkg_attributes"></a>

## pkg_attributes

<pre>
pkg_attributes(<a href="#pkg_attributes-mode">mode</a>, <a href="#pkg_attributes-user">user</a>, <a href="#pkg_attributes-group">group</a>, <a href="#pkg_attributes-kwargs">kwargs</a>)
</pre>

Format attributes for use in package mapping rules.

If "mode" is not provided, it will default to the mapping rule's default
mode.  These vary per mapping rule; consult the respective documentation for
more details.

Not providing any of "user", or "group" will result in the package builder
choosing one for you.  The chosen value should not be relied upon.

Well-known attributes outside of the above are documented in the rules_pkg
reference.

This is the only supported means of passing in attributes to package mapping
rules (e.g. `pkg_files`).


**PARAMETERS**


| Name  | Description | Default Value |
| :------------- | :------------- | :------------- |
| <a id="pkg_attributes-mode"></a>mode |  string: UNIXy octal permissions, as a string.   |  <code>None</code> |
| <a id="pkg_attributes-user"></a>user |  string: Filesystem owning user.   |  <code>None</code> |
| <a id="pkg_attributes-group"></a>group |  string: Filesystem owning group.   |  <code>None</code> |

Rules to create RPM archives.

NOTE: this module is deprecated in favor of pkg/rpm_pfg.bzl. For more
information on the `pkg_filegroup` framework it uses, see pkg/mappings.bzl.

pkg_rpm() depends on the existence of an rpmbuild toolchain. Many users will
find to convenient to use the one provided with their system. To enable that
toolchain add the following stanza to WORKSPACE:

    # Find rpmbuild if it exists.
    load("@rules_pkg//toolchains:rpmbuild_configure.bzl", "find_system_rpmbuild")
    find_system_rpmbuild(name="rules_pkg_rpmbuild")
