rules_nfpm

rules_nfpm provides rules for building 'deb' and 'rpm' packages using NFPM, a packager written in Go.

While rules_pkg works, rules_nfpm has the following advantages:

Clear documentation
No host dependencies (e.g. rpmbuild is not needed in PATH)
Built-in templating of Bazel workspace status key-value pairs

Setup

Include the following snippet in your repository's WORKSPACE file:

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")

http_archive(
    name = "com_github_ericnorris_rules_nfpm",
    sha256 = "800ebc64eac94d5ec6589e98a904c8c13aaad1ae0a981550de47a5ad7f72c660",
    urls = [
        "https://github.com/ericnorris/rules_nfpm/archive/v2.0.0.tar.gz",
    ],
    strip_prefix = "rules_nfpm-2.0.0",
)

load("@com_github_ericnorris_rules_nfpm//nfpm:repositories.bzl", "rules_nfpm_dependencies")

rules_nfpm_dependencies()

load("@com_github_ericnorris_rules_nfpm//nfpm:setup.bzl", "rules_nfpm_setup")

rules_nfpm_setup()

load("@com_github_ericnorris_rules_nfpm//nfpm:go_repositories.bzl", "rules_nfpm_go_dependencies")

rules_nfpm_go_dependencies()

nfpm_package

nfpm_package(name, config, deps)

Generates a package using NFPM.

The config file is templatized using the go text/template library. The dot (.) value is a ConfigTemplateData struct.

Example

nfpm_package(
    name = "helloworld.deb",
    config = "helloworld.yaml",
    deps = [
        "//cmd/helloworld",
    ],
)

See the example directory for a more comprehensive example.
