Deploying C++ binaries

[sharvil....@gmail.com]

I'm trying to deploy an application to a production machine which doesn't have source access so I can't 'bazel run' the target.

Is there a recommended way to deploy a C++ binary and all its associated runfiles? I've tried pkg_tar but it only picks up the binary.

Sounds like pkg_tar or other rules from https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/be/pkg.html should be working, but they don't. Can you file a feature request on the github and assign it to me? I'll take a look after my vacation (= in February).

+1 those have never worked, I had no idea they were expected to, and we've written macros that look like aspects to rules to get around this problem. Had I known that they were intended to allow you to package cc's with dependencies, we would have filed this ages ago

Thanks, Marcel. I've filed https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/4383 for this feature. I'm unable to assign the issue but I'm happy to ping this thread again after your vacation if thats helpful.

Food for thought, but we've started relying on binaries not having runfiles packaged with them by now.  We've got a bunch of targets which pull together config files, for example, and package them in the correct places in the final package.  Maybe that means it should be an option to the rule?

There needs to be a way to package up runfiles for sure.  Python has huge issues with this.

Bumping this thread since the Github issue has been inactive for a few weeks now. I am still very interested in this feature.
