Description
What is the current behavior?
Currently when you define a dependency in MODULE.aspect there is no way to apply patches to it.
axl_archive_dep(
name = "impacted",
urls = ["https://github.com/aspect-extensions/impacted/archive/b3f503fe6c6d8ac21ed061cc6b078b1886228b35.tar.gz"],
integrity = "sha256-pUp+0FZ/b+5KqCYFwZ1itxlOrSrA5lSDvdGpjnMypbQ=",
strip_prefix = "impacted-b3f503fe6c6d8ac21ed061cc6b078b1886228b35",
dev = True,
auto_use_tasks = True,
)
# unable to patch it
Describe the feature
Bazel has something called archive_override that has the defination None archive_override(module_name, urls, integrity='', strip_prefix='', patches=[], patch_cmds=[], patch_strip=0).
This is very useful when you want to use a library but only want to apply fixes that are not yet merged in, not planned, or similar. This otherwise does not seem possible to do without forking the archive, which might not be wanted. An example of this use case would be for aspect_rules_lint, where I want to patch some issues until they get merged or change some behaviour for our use case.
