Remove the Bazel repository cache #80

Closed aherrmann closed 1 year ago

aherrmann commented 1 year ago

Closes https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules-template/issues/76 Depends on https://github.com/bazel-contrib/.github/pull/7

Disables the Bazel repository cache. See #76 for motivation.

TODO

[x] Update the reference to the workflow version once https://github.com/bazel-contrib/.github/pull/7 is merged.

FWIW, at Aspect we have been blindly using this setup for our OSS rules without having done the analysis you did here, thanks!

However we'll switch ours to https://docs.aspect.build/v/workflows sometime soon, which has a much more sophisticated approach for persisting and restoring the repository cache (as well as the external/* folders created by repository rule execution)

I don't seem to have the required permissions to create a new v4 release tag on https://github.com/bazel-contrib/.github. So, I've referenced the commit hash instead.
