feat: allow overriding rules in `whl_library` repository rule

Open aignas opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

WIP - this is to discuss an interface for allowing users to better customize the build process. Once this is defined, we can then implement something for allowing users to build from source in the build context. That would require the following missing pieces that should be implemented in other PRs:

  • [ ] Using http_archive or implement a new sdist_library repository rule for handling sdist.
  • [ ] A rudimentary py_sdist_library that allows invoking a PEP518 build backend in the build phase.

Related to the discussion in #2118.
