# Packaging for Bazel
## Deprecated
These rules have been extracted from the Bazel sources and are now available at
[bazelbuild/rules_pkg](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg/releases)
[(docs)](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg/tree/main/pkg).
Issues and PRs against the built-in versions of these rules will no longer be
addressed. This page will exist for reference until the code is removed from
Bazel.
For more information, follow [issue 8857](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8857)

## Overview
`pkg_tar()` is available for building a .tar file without depending
on anything besides Bazel. Since this feature is deprecated and will
eventually be removed from Bazel, you should migrate to `@rules_pkg`.
