Modernize bazel build for an old cpp project on github

Project Title: Modernize bazel build for an old cpp project on github Description: I am seeking a skilled developer to modernize the build system for an old cpp project on GitHub. The project currently uses BUILD/WORKSPACE files for Bazel version 0.19.2. This is to permit me to build a modern Docker container. The old Dockerfile is included in the source. Requirements: - Update the Bazel build system to a more recent version (6.4.0) for improved performance and compatibility. - Update that main program builds with updates to the two main dependenices to latest compatible versions (gRPC 1.60.0 + Protobuf v24.4). - Update bazel BUILD/WORKSPACE files to new format including updating old dependencies. For example I know [login to view URL] needs to be replaced with [login to view URL] - Ensure repo builds accurately Note - I don't think the cpp source needs updating, this is mostly a Bazel thing - Will supply repo in followup to assist quoting. It is a public github repo basically abandoned Skills and Experience: - Strong proficiency in Bazel build system and its features. - Knowledge of C++ programming language. - Familiarity with GitHub and version control systems. - Ability to work independently and efficiently. Specific Libraries/Dependencies: There will be cross-compilation using Docker so source compiles are required. Sorry no binaries or debs etc for dependency installs If you have any recommendations or suggestions for the modernization process, they would be greatly appreciated.
