Research direction

Start with src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/repository/RepositoryFailedEvent.java at lines 48-59, then trace uses of EXTERNAL_PACKAGE_IDENTIFIER and the current event ID. Define the required replacement event ID type for external repositories and verify that this event no longer uses the existing external package identifier.
