toolchain: allow to configure build_tar target - #1937
Merged
Conversation
python/cpython#18080 hasn't been back-ported to python3.8, which happens to be the default interpreter version in a lot of popular base docker images. This change in python's tarfile implementation affects the behavior of https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_docker/blob/bdea23404dd256c7ae2f8e02d346428044cc7d91/container/archive.py#L144 used by a popular container_image rule. This means that images built by bazel in environments with different python3 versions will result in different image digests. Until the hermeticity of python toolchains is guaranteed, it may be useful to have a workaround for users who can provide their own build_tar tool, akin to https://github.com/kubernetes/repo-infra/blob/72a6f5d05659f7d255b51f152e0725adfe970718/tools/build_tar/buildtar.go

Thanks for doing this! Is this part of a longer series of changes you are working on? I was hitting some performance problems with build_tar.py (and wanted to remove our python dep). If you're interested in helping to rewrite this tool let me know!

What kind of change does this PR introduce?
What is the current behavior?
Current behavior of
build_tartool used bycontainer_layeris not hermetic, because it implicitly depends on the python toolchain, and as demonstrated by #1680, this can lead to non-reproducible builds.What is the new behavior?
Similar to #1881, this PR adds an optional attribute for toolchain configuration, allowing to pass a hermetic
build_tar_targetexecutable.Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
