modules: move the remaining families to families/<family> #6054
Description
Part of #6032. Follow the checklist from the android move. One PR per family, one at a time (each edits MODULE.bazel).
Order:
- apple
- dotnet
- beam
- jvm
- js (js: moves to families/js #6508, next: needs no macOS or Windows host)
- cc (cc: moves to families/cc #6504, needs macOS and Windows)
- go
- small families
- python
- rust
Each PR: cd families/<family> && bazel test //..., its hermetic consumer, tools/dx test --affected.
Each move PR also moves the family's register_toolchains (and drops the hub repo from core's use_repo) in the same PR, and moves the pattern to the family entry in modules/families.json. Beam (#8203) and dotnet needed a second PR because the first move left them in core.
Blocked on: #6504

Plan (agent): size L, split into slices
Decision: only families that add a
bazel_dep, extension, toolchain or repo rule become modules. The 15 that add nothing fold into core,generationorrustfirst (#6499). The rest move in serial PRs, and small families are batched a few per PR (still one module per family). Rejected: one module per language (about 40 modules and.bcrentries, 15 of them empty), one PR per small family (about 25 serial PRs for one-dir moves), a "misc" module holding unrelated languages (consumers would pull in languages they don't use).Cause: not blocked on the owner. It only waits on #6053 (android sets the checklist), which waits on #6048-#6052 and #6016.
Shared rules (in every slice): the root module depends on families with
dev_dependency = Truepluslocal_path_override. Family modules depend only on core and upstream rule sets. Each PR fixes every label into the moved dirs.Finding: core builds Rust tools from source in consumer builds (
quality/real_aspects.bzl:2311points at//quality/runner:quality_runner). Sorules_rust, the//rust/rulesmacros and the default C/C++ toolchain stay in core for now. Follow-up #6517 prebuilds those tools so they can move.Order (serial, because each move edits
MODULE.bazel):0. #6499 fold weightless families (can start now, in parallel with #6048-#6052)
gois not moved:rules_gois core for Gazelle, and go adds nothing else. It folds into core in modules: fold families without deps into core, generation and rust #6499.Tests: per slice. Each runs
tools/dx test //modules:allplus its//tools/testing/hermetic:<fixture>targets, thentools/dx test --affected.Host: macos for apple: moves to families/apple #6500 and cc: moves to families/cc #6504. windows for dotnet: moves to families/dotnet #6501, cc: moves to families/cc #6504, powershell, msix: move to families/powershell and families/msix #6511 and rust: moves to families/rust #6516.

Not actionable as one PR: this is a tracking issue, split into #6499-#6516 and serial. It waits on #6053 (android sets the checklist), which is still open. Blocked, no code change made.

Tracking issue, no single PR. Remaining work is the open sub-issues #6501 (dotnet, next in serial order), #6502, #6503, #6504, #6508, #6510-#6516. Blocked on: #6501 and the serial chain after it.

From #6504 (#9143): cc and qt are now core and stay in the root module. This issue's list drops qt.

Next serial move is #6511 (powershell, msix), which is blocked on #6510 (generation). #6510 is open with no open PR and another lane owns it. The chain #6512-#6516 follows #6511. Remaining blocked, no code change made. Blocked on: #6510.
