Support executing as root in the linux sandbox.

linux-sandbox has a useful option -R, that runs the spawn as fake
root. However, it's not exposed to Bazel rules. Here, we do that via
the "requires-fakeroot" tag.

One possible usecase: In combination with "block-network",
"requires-fakeroot" makes it possible to integration test services
that insist on listening on privileged ports.

Unsurprisingly, this is incompatible with --sandbox_fake_username.

Bazel

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.

  • Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel only rebuilds what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.

  • One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  • Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase and Continuous Integration system. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.

  • Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
