Fellow Developers, Maintainers, and Contributors, This is a quick update on recent progress with packaging the Bazel Build System [1] for Debian. My involvement grew out of an urgent need for TensorFlow that was identified during the recent COVID-19 Biohackathon [2]. Upstream has been very supportive of our efforts and we have had many positive interactions with them.
However, we've now reached a point where we need more help in order to get these important tools packaged in a timely manner. There are currently 10 Java package dependencies that are not available in Debian. These are: google-api-client google-auth google-auto checker-framework diffutils error-prone google-flogger grpc-java opencensus javax-annotation We have more information available, including links to RFP bugs, on our Workplan wiki [3]. If you have Java experience and are willing to assist in this effort, even packaging one of these would be a great help. If you also want to help with the main Bazel-packaging effort, please feel free to join the team! Stay safe out there! -Olek PS I am not subscribed to -science or -java [1] https://bazel.build/ [2] https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/community/2020-covid19-hackathon [3] https://salsa.debian.org/bazel-team/meta/-/wikis/Workplan-Part-1
