When I updated past 1.6.3, I noticed that my MODULE.bazel.lock was being updated with locking details of the internal dependencies of rules_python. My understanding is that http_archive and non-watched repository files tend to be easy to mark reproducible, which avoids unnecessary updates to the lockfile. I have verified this on an internal project that this does what I expect it to.

Summary of Changes

Hello @aaronsky, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses an issue where the MODULE.bazel.lock file was being updated unnecessarily due to internal dependencies of rules_python when using Bzlmod. By conditionally marking the internal configuration repository as reproducible, the change aims to stabilize the lockfile, reducing churn and improving the overall developer experience for projects leveraging Bzlmod with rules_python.

Highlights

  • Reproducibility for Bzlmod: The internal configuration repository is now conditionally marked as reproducible for Bzlmod, preventing unnecessary updates to the MODULE.bazel.lock file.
  • Bazel Feature Detection: Introduced bazel_features to dynamically check for Bazel version capabilities, specifically for the reproducible flag in extension_metadata.
  • Code Readability: The parameter name mctx in the _config_impl function has been renamed to module_ctx for improved clarity and consistency with Bazel's module extension context.

Code Review

This pull request correctly marks the internal configuration repository as reproducible for Bzlmod. This is a valuable fix that will prevent unnecessary updates to the MODULE.bazel.lock file for users of rules_python. The implementation properly uses bazel_features to conditionally set the reproducible flag, ensuring backward compatibility with older Bazel versions. Additionally, renaming mctx to module_ctx improves code clarity and aligns with standard Bazel conventions. The changes are well-executed and address the issue effectively.
