wanted: hdl/bazel_rules_hdl

Hi,

Also a Googler. I have a pretty extensive set of dependency support package in bazel_rules_hdl that might be useful to upstream here.

The packages in there are all built hermetically from source, as such, they represent the full DAG of all the packages.

Is there any interest to migrate them here?

These projects would be a great addition to the BCR, bootstrapping the C++ aspect of it.

I noticed that some projects are patched to use Bazel runfiles. This will definitely lead to issues before bazelbuild/bazel#16124 has been fixed, but that is actively being worked on.

@QuantamHD Yes, we would love to accept PRs to add those dependencies as Bazel modules.
