Open arunkumar9t2 opened 2 years ago

arunkumar9t2 commented 2 years ago

Description of the feature request:

Bazel's current dependency on databinding is quite old and can be updated to latest databinding version which is backwards compatible with existing code and does not require migrations.

Secondly due to the way databinding libraries are imported currently it is not possible to update databinding libraries without updating Bazel and android_tools.

What underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?

Use recent of databinding which includes bug fixes.

Which operating system are you running Bazel on?

MacOS Monterey 12.4

What is the output of bazel info release?

development version

If bazel info release returns development version or (@non-git), tell us how you built Bazel.

Branched off from 6.0.0-pre.20220517.1 tag and built from source

What's the output of git remote get-url origin; git rev-parse master; git rev-parse HEAD ?

updating Bazel and android_tools

we would also need to update our dependencies internally for blaze.

however if someone from the community wants to update this, we can update android_tools
