This is a start, intended to solicit early feedback. Existing tests have been merely adapted. New tests have not been added. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think create_parents should be an attribute of TarWriter. Then we set it once on creation instead of having to plumb the constant through on each call.
On the plus side, this makes the code cleaner.
A potential minus is that we can't have add_parents toggle per src to the tarball.
I don't think that is a needed, or even desired, ability. It would only marginally facilitate a sparse tar with a few added directories. You could simulate that easily by composing
tars or (perhaps) by having an option on pkg_files to auto-insert needed directories.

I agree and would have done what you suggested to start with had it been taken into account that the change subject was a Class. And no, I don't see an obvious use case for having fine-grained control of the subject behavior within a target. |
Add feature as described in bazelbuild#832. RELNOTES: Automatic creation of parent directory specifications for paths with depth are prevented in pkg_tar archives.
My pleasure! |
