refactor: introduce helper for defining distribution filegroups - #4152
Merged
Conversation
Previously, distribution filegroups required manually enumerating each direct subpackage's distribution target in `srcs`. This created repetitive boilerplate across BUILD files and risked omitting newly added subpackages from release distributions. Introduce the `distribution_filegroup` macro to automatically glob package files and discover direct subpackages using `native.subpackages()`, with support for an `exclude` list. * Also updates BUILD files across the repository to use the new macro
The root distribution archive omitted tools/build_defs/python/private because native.subpackages(include = ["*"]) in tools/BUILD.bazel only discovers direct subpackages. Without an intermediate package boundary, the nested tools/build_defs/python package was skipped. Add distribution_filegroup targets to tools/build_defs/BUILD.bazel and tools/build_defs/python/BUILD.bazel so the distribution filegroup chain recursively reaches tools/build_defs/python/private.
Downstream packaging fails because //tools/publish loads //tools/private:publish_deps.bzl. Remove the exclude list so that tools/private is included in distribution archives.
