Support jq on arm64 linux about bazel-lib HOT 10 CLOSED

Ah, so 2.0 of bazel-lib? What makes this a breaking change?

Yup. We're planning to cut a bazel-lib 2.0 release in mid-late October. There were a couple of breaking changes:

• A jq flag we were relying on for stamping support was removed, so we had to make a change that would break consumers who were stamping with jq.
• The naming convention for the jq binaries changed, so rather than supporting pre-1.7 conventions we decided to drop them and only support 1.7+ going forward.

You can see the changes here: #520

Closing now that 2.0 is released: https://github.com/aspect-build/bazel-lib/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Note that our yq toolchain has an arm64 binary. Yq is supports json and is a superset of jq.

Idea; https://wapm.io/syrusakbary/jq has jq as a wasm binary and can run anywhere wasmer can run which is basically every nix platform plus windows. wasmer can be introduced as a toolchain and jq ran with it.

That sounds like a bit of overhead? i think the worst case alternative is we build jq manually, or host our own binary for that case?

I strongly agree. If we delegate "building from the source part" to the users, then it's a viable choice. I am not a huge fan of taking another ruleset as a dependency, just to build from the source.

Jq arm64 linux support will be in the 2.0.0 release.

Is there an issue tracking this somewhere? I found jqlang/jq#2386, which has a 1.7 milestone, and jqlang/jq#2459, which doesn't have any milestone.

I'm trying to figure out what's necessary for bazel-contrib/rules_oci#253 to be fixed.

https://github.com/jqlang/jq/releases/tag/jq-1.7 is the available binaries as part of 1.7 release. i believe we are waiting for 2.0 release to make this breaking change.
