Flag --incompatible_disable_starlark_host_transitions will break rules_closure in Bazel 7.0

[keertk]

Incompatible flag --incompatible_disable_starlark_host_transitions will be enabled by default in the next major release (Bazel 7.0), thus breaking rules_closure. Please migrate to fix this and unblock the flip of this flag.

The flag is documented here: bazelbuild/bazel#17032.

Please check the following CI builds for build and test results:

• MacOS, OpenJDK 11
• Ubuntu 18.04 OpenJDK 11

Never heard of incompatible flags before? We have documentation that explains everything. If you have any questions, please file an issue in https://github.com/bazelbuild/continuous-integration.

Hi Team, Gentle ping , Can you share any significant update on this issue. Thanks!

This is replacing cfg = "host" with cfg = "exec" right?

[sgowroji]

Yes @gkdn

[gkdn]

Thanks @sgowroji

What is the minimum version where cfg = "exec" works? And do you know which version bazelci configured with?
