[bazel.build] Problem with /install/redhat #18550

Open freeaion opened 1 year ago

Page link:

https://bazel.build/install/redhat

Problem description (include actual vs expected text, if applicable):

bazel4 is too old to run couple of bazel rules. this is especially true for rules_rust. with bazel5 rather than bazel4, no issues are observed. so, please update or put some comments on the latest bazel for fedora. thank you.

Where do you see this issue? (include link to specific section of the page, if applicable)

No response

Any other information you'd like to share?

@vbatts Can you take a look at this?

vbatts commented 1 year ago

I do not have bandwidth for this. See https://github.com/vbatts/copr-build-bazel to bump the version in the build spec, and rebuild it.

vbatts commented 1 year ago

also, last I looked at building was when https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/14819 was opened

Hmm. If we're no longer supporting builds on Fedora (5.0 was released 1.5 years ago), maybe we should remove that page from our docs.

Wyverald commented 1 year ago

(Thanks, @vbatts, for your previous work on supporting this platform!)

vbatts commented 1 year ago

these builds have been best-effort, and I've been asking for a maintainer to take them over. There are many many users pulling from my copr repos that would be left hanging by dropping that. I'm happy to transition that repo, if possible.

@vbatts Thanks, maybe reach out to the users of this package and check if anyone is willing to help fix https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/14819 and maintain the package? Probably also worth posting in the Bazel slack channel.
