How to build

bazel build //main/postprocess:services_rdb
bazel build //main/postprocess:ooo_services_rdb
bazel build //main/postprocess:uiconfig_zip
bazel build //main/postprocess:all
bazel build //main/postprocess:all_xcd

Architecture

services.rdb

The legacy build ran:

xsltproc packcomponents.xslt services.input > services.rdb

where services.input is an XML <list> of <filename> elements pointing at each .component file.

The Bazel implementation uses a custom services_rdb Starlark rule in postprocess.bzl. At analysis time it generates a .bat script that:

Writes <list>…</list> XML with file:/// URIs built from %cd% (exec root) using delayed expansion (!F:\=/!) so backslashes become forward slashes.
Calls xsltproc to merge them into the output .rdb.

file:/// URIs are required because xsltproc‘s document() resolves relative paths against the input XML’s base URI (the bazel-out path), not the working directory.

Each registered DLL must also be staged. The _SERVICES_COMPONENTS map associates every .component with a loader URL via basis_native("X.dll") → vnd.sun.star.expand:$OOO_BASE_DIR/program/X.dll. Registration here does not stage the DLL — X.dll must independently be a dep of //main/staging so it lands in program/. If it is missing, the first service instantiated from that component throws com.sun.star.loader.CannotActivateFactoryException("loading component library failed: …/X.dll") at runtime. (Example: fileacc.dll was registered here but unstaged, causing a startup FatalError via the deployment help backend on 2026-05-30 — see main/staging/readme.md.)

uiconfig.zip

A uiconfig_zip Starlark rule generates a PowerShell script at analysis time. The script uses System.IO.Compression.ZipFile to create the archive, stripping the path up to and including \uiconfig\ so ZIP entries start at the module/menu level (e.g. calc/menubar/menubar.xml).

Each module with uiconfig files exposes a filegroup(name="uiconfig_files", ...).

XCD files (packregistry)

Each .xcd file is a compiled registry package produced by packregistry.xslt from a list of .xcs (schema) and .xcu (data) files. XCS files must precede XCU files in the list (configmgr requirement).

The pack_registry Starlark rule in postprocess.bzl:

Calls make_services_input.pl to write an XML <list> with file:/// absolute URIs
Calls xsltproc packregistry.xslt to produce the .xcd

The 20 XCD packages and their contents:

XCD	XCS schema files	XCU data sources
`base_xcd`	—	fcfg_database + officecfg module extractions
`calc_xcd`	CalcCommands, CalcWindowState	fcfg_calc + connectivity calc.xcu + module extractions
`cjk_xcd`	—	Office/Common + Office/Writer cjk modules
`ctl_xcd`	—	Office/Common ctl module
`draw_xcd`	DrawWindowState	fcfg_draw + module extractions
`forcedefault_xcd`	—	Office/Linguistic ForceDefaultLanguage module
`graphicfilter_xcd`	—	fcfg_drawgraphics + fcfg_impressgraphics
`impress_xcd`	Effects, ImpressWindowState, PresenterScreen	fcfg_impress + sdext presenter XCU
`korea_xcd`	—	Office/Common korea module
`lingucomponent_xcd`	—	hyphenator/spellchecker/thesaurus XCU
`main_xcd`	84 XCS files	86 XCU files (raw + FCFGMerge + module extractions + DataAccess)
`math_xcd`	MathCommands, MathWindowState	fcfg_math + module extractions
`oooimprovement_xcd`	—	extensions/oooimprovement Jobs.xcu + Logging.xcu
`palm_xcd`	—	fcfg_palm
`pocketexcel_xcd`	—	fcfg_pocketexcel
`pocketword_xcd`	—	fcfg_pocketword
`pyuno_xcd`	—	Office/Scripting python module
`w4w_xcd`	—	fcfg_w4w (109 Word-for-Windows filter fragments)
`writer_xcd`	7 WriterWindowState XCS files	fcfg_global + fcfg_web + fcfg_writer + module extractions
`xsltfilter_xcd`	—	fcfg_xslt

FCFGMerge pipeline (fcfg_merge rule + fcfg_merge.pl):

The old Java/Python FCFGMerge tool is replaced by fcfg_merge.pl. Each target in main/filter/source/config/fragments/BUILD.bazel merges raw .xcu fragments from types/, filters/, frameloaders/, contenthandlers/, and internalgraphicfilters/ subdirectories into a single combined XCU with the proper <oor:component-data> wrapper.

Module extraction pipeline (alllang_module_* genrules in main/officecfg/BUILD.bazel):

The old alllang.xsl --stringparam module <suffix> pass extracts nodes with install:module=<suffix> attributes into per-module XCU spool files. Outputs go to spool_module/<module>/org/openoffice/<xcu> to avoid collision with per-locale spool files.
