To load these rules, add this to the top of your BUILD file:

load("@rules_debian_packages//debian_packages:defs.bzl", ...)

debian_packages_repository

debian_packages_repository(name, default_arch, default_distro, lock_file, repo_mapping)

A repository rule to download debian packages using Bazel's downloader.

Typical usage in WORKSPACE.bazel:

load("@rules_debian_packages//debian_packages:defs.bzl", "debian_packages_repository")

debian_packages_repository(
    name = "my_debian_packages",
    default_arch = "amd64",
    default_distro = "debian12",
    lock_file = "//path/to:debian_packages.lock",
)

load("@my_debian_packages//:packages.bzl", "install_deps")

install_deps()

Packages can be used for rules_docker based container images like this:

load("@io_bazel_rules_docker//container:container.bzl", "container_image")
load("@my_debian_packages//:packages.bzl", "debian_package")

container_image(
    name = "my_image",
    debs = [
        debian_package("busybox-static"),
    ],
)

Packages can be used for rules_oci based container images like this:

load("@rules_oci//oci:defs.bzl", "oci_image")
load("@my_debian_packages//:packages.bzl", "debian_package_layer")

oci_image(
    name = "my_image",
    tars = [
        debian_package_layer("busybox-static"),
    ],
)

ATTRIBUTES

Name	Description	Type	Mandatory	Default
name	A unique name for this repository.	Name	required
default_arch	The architecture to assume as default.	String	required
default_distro	The debian-distro to assume as default.	String	required
lock_file	The lockfile to generate a repository from.	Label	required
repo_mapping	A dictionary from local repository name to global repository name. This allows controls over workspace dependency resolution for dependencies of this repository.<p>For example, an entry "@foo": "@bar" declares that, for any time this repository depends on @foo (such as a dependency on @foo//some:target, it should actually resolve that dependency within globally-declared @bar (@bar//some:target).	Dictionary: String -> String	required
