My seventh EngFlow blog post is about dealing with canonical repository names under Bzlmod…again…
Here’s a quick paraphrase of the post:
Bazel user: [after repeatedly atoning for depending directly upon repo names before migrating to Bzlmod] …all I can be is sorry, and that is all I am.
There is a twist this time, though. Three earlier posts in the EngFlow Bzlmod
series focused on handling repository names properly when using
BUILD rules. This latest post focuses on solving repository name related
problems when producing BUILD rules (or when, as a user, you need to patch
them yourself).
As always, feel free to comment on the LinkedIn announcement corresponding to this post or the Bzlmod Slack announcement in the #bzlmod channel.
