### Common Attributes

These attributes are used in several rules within this module.

**ATTRIBUTES**

| Name              | Description                                                                                                                                                                     | Type                                                               | Mandatory       | Default                                   |
| :-------------    | :-------------                                                                                                                                                                  | :-------------:                                                    | :-------------: | :-------------                            |
| <a name="out">out</a>               | 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        |                                           |
| <a name="package_file_name">package_file_name</a> | The name of the file which will contain the package. The name may contain variables in the forms `{var}` and $(var)`. The values for substitution are specified through `package_variables` or taken from [ctx.var](https://bazel.build/rules/lib/ctx#var). | String | optional | package type specific |
| <a name="package_variables">package_variables</a> | A target that provides `PackageVariablesInfo` to substitute into `package_file_name`. `pkg_zip` and `pkg_tar` also support this in `package_dir`                                | <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.

<div class="since"><i>Since 0.8.0</i></div>: File name substitution now supports the $(var) syntax.
<div class="since"><i>Since 0.8.0</i></div>: File name substitution now supports direct use of [ctx.var](https://bazel.build/rules/lib/ctx#var).


<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`.

Create a Debian package.

This rule produces 2 artifacts: a .deb and a .changes file. The DefaultInfo will
include both. If you need downstream rule to specifically depend on only the .deb or
.changes file then you can use `filegroup` to select distinct output groups.

**OutputGroupInfo**
- `out` the Debian package or a symlink to the actual package.
- `deb` the package with any precise file name created with `package_file_name`.
- `changes` the .changes file.

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.

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.

This rule produces 2 artifacts: an .rpm and a .changes file. The DefaultInfo will
include both. If you need downstream rule to specifically depend on only the .rpm or
.changes file then you can use `filegroup` to select distinct output groups.

**OutputGroupInfo**
- `out` the RPM or a symlink to the actual package.
- `rpm` the package with any precise file name created with `package_file_name`.
- `changes` the .changes file.

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-src">src</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-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:

```

```

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`. `pkg_files` targets may be consumed by other `pkg_files` or
`pkg_filegroup` to build up complex layouts, or directly by top level
packaging rules such as `pkg_files`.

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.

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.

</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", "group", "uid", or "gid" 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`).

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/rpm:rpmbuild_configure.bzl", "find_system_rpmbuild")
    find_system_rpmbuild(name="rules_pkg_rpmbuild")
