bzlmod issue

[malkia]

I'm trying to use prometheus-cpp through bzlmod, e.g. in my MODULE.bazel file I'll have:

bazel_dep(name = "prometheus-cpp", version = "1.2.3", repo_name = "com_github_jupp0r_prometheus_cpp")
archive_override(
    integrity = "sha256-VeIKdR/CWf7WpDjoz1o8vOvjqpP4OqTqjYgKdQgQyu4=",
    module_name = "prometheus-cpp",
    strip_prefix = "prometheus-cpp-with-submodules",
    urls = [
        "https://github.com/jupp0r/prometheus-cpp/releases/download/v1.2.3/prometheus-cpp-with-submodules.tar.gz",
    ],
)

but it'll fail to find the @platforms module, because it was marked as "dev_dependency = True" in here https://github.com/jupp0r/prometheus-cpp/blob/master/MODULE.bazel#L17 (I guess similar would be for "rules_cc")

My understaing of dev_dependency = True is that it does not propagate to whoever uses the module - e.g. it's for say testing, benchmarks (as it's done), but civetweb.BUILD needs it (others too), hence it'll fail.

In the mean time I'll create a soft-fork branch of prometheus-cpp (Thanks for the awesome library), and try from there.

Here are some of the errors:

ERROR: Q:/b/u/c56xnmzt/external/prometheus-cpp~override~data_deps_ext~civetweb/BUILD.bazel:10:15: no such package '@@[unknown repo 'platforms' requested from @@prometheus-cpp~override~data_deps_ext~civetweb]//os': The repository '@@[unknown repo 'platforms' requested from @@prometheus-cpp~override~data_deps_ext~civetweb]' could not be resolved: No repository visible as '@platforms' from repository '@@prometheus-cpp~override~data_deps_ext~civetweb' and referenced by '@@prometheus-cpp~override~data_deps_ext~civetweb//:windows'

and (just saw as I was typing, similar for rules_cc)

ERROR: Q:/b/u/c56xnmzt/external/prometheus-cpp~override~data_deps_ext~civetweb/BUILD.bazel:50:11: error loading package '@@prometheus-cpp~override~data_deps_ext~boringssl//': Unable to find package for @@[unknown repo 'rules_cc' requested from @@prometheus-cpp~override~data_deps_ext~boringssl]//cc:defs.bzl: The repository '@@[unknown repo 'rules_cc' requested from @@prometheus-cpp~override~data_deps_ext~boringssl]' could not be resolved: No repository visible as '@rules_cc' from repository '@@prometheus-cpp~override~data_deps_ext~boringssl'. and referenced by '@@prometheus-cpp~override~data_deps_ext~civetweb//:libcivetweb'
