Explicitly set `%{_builddir}` macro (#792)
rules_pkg has baked in the assumption that the value of `%{_builddir}`
is going to be `%{_topdir}/BUILD` which is where rpmbuild will `cd` to
when being run. When using the built in system rpmbuild in a
situation where the value of `%{_builddir}` has been overriden with a
custom local macro, this assumption may be broken which will result in
internal rpmbuild failures.
Because we make this assumption about the value of the macro, we can
instead be explicit about what we want the value of `%{_builddir}` to
be so as to avoid this problem altogether.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.
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.
