On Build Hermeticity in Bazel-Based Build Systems

We studied nonhermetic build dependency packages of Bazel-using open source projects by analyzing Linux system file calls collected in their build processes. None had a completely hermetic build process, largely due to the use of nonhermetic top-level toolchains.

Abstract

We studied nonhermetic build dependency packages of Bazel-using open source projects by analyzing Linux system file calls collected in their build processes. None had a completely hermetic build process, largely due to the use of nonhermetic top-level toolchains.
