These are still x86-64 binaries at the moment (see #8557), but should be
usable on M1 Macs in the Rosetta compatibility mode. Let's start
publishing them on our GitHub release page and then eventually we can
make them into true aarch_64 binaries.
This fixes#9200.
* Creates a protoc release zip
Mimics what we're doing manually today but powered by Bazel.
* don't special case this.
* Addressing feedback.
* adding comment about _cc_toolchain
* Use repo-relative labels wherever possible
The label `@com_google_protobuf//:foo` within the protobuf repo is often synonymous with just `//:foo`. We should prefer the latter as it allows us to use a shorter name for the module in the Bazel Central Registry (so just "protobuf" instead of "com_google_protobuf").
Note that the semantics can be subtle: in a macro, plain strings are anchored to the *calling* repo, so if we just use `//:foo` as the default value of a macro argument, it will be resolved to `@myrepo//:foo` if the macro is called from the repo `@myrepo`. In this case, it's necessary to directly call the `Label()` constructor to anchor the string label to the repo where the .bzl file lives.
See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-central-registry/pull/28#issuecomment-954741081 for a bit more context.
* fix protobuf_deps.bzl
This commit removes the use of bind() since that function goes against
Bazel best practices:
https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/external.html#repository-rules-1
The bind() function basically maps a dependency into //external, but
there is no good reason to do this. By mapping dependencies into
//external and relying on this in our own BUILD files, we're forcing
projects that depend on us to do the same. The one bind() call that I
did leave in place was //:python_headers. This one seems to be doing
something complicated I don't fully understand, and I don't want to risk
breaking it.
This change also moves our list of required Maven artifacts into a
constant in protobuf_deps.bzl. This way, projects that depend on us can
refer to this list when they invoke maven_install() and automatically
pull in all the necesary dependencies.
This fixes#9132.
* Fix comment syntax in any.proto
Remove extra spaces which cause incorrect indentation in godoc.
Remove the "====" style title which is not rendered by godoc.
* Run ./generate_descriptor_proto.sh
