Bazel is the most distro hostile build system I know.
- elromulous 2y agoCould you elaborate?
- orf 2y agoCool? Is that supposed to be a downside?
- dietr1ch 2y agoOn one hand, exactly, anything that's grabbed from the distro is actually an issue to reproducibility, but I guess it also means there could be some shim to make installing things easier (assuming `apt/pacman/whatever install blaze` isn't enough to get going, which I guess may be the case since bootstrapping toolchains might not be straightforward and needs configuration/smashing-your-head-against-the-wall for each language, especially if it's not already supported like C++/Java).
- klysm 2y agoHostile to distros how?
