rules_debian

Bazel rules to manage installation and integration of .deb archives from Debian APT repositories.

Note: It isn't necessary to create a mapping for debian packages since all allowable package names fall into a subset of allowable bazel target names:

• https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/build-ref.html#lexi
• https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_debian_package_file_names

Repository rules

• deb_archive
• deb_package
• deb_packages

Check out some examples.

deb_archive

In your WORKSPACE

git_repository(
    name = "rules_debian",
    remote = "https://github.com/psigen/rules_debian.git"

)

load("@rules_debian//:debian.bzl", "deb_archive")

deb_archive(
    name = "org_boost",
    packages = {
        "libboost-system-dev": "*",
    },
    export_cc = True,
)

In your BUILD.bazel
