We'd love to have your help! I just added you to the temporary team on
Salsa [1]. I'll be setting up a proper team but, so far, my focus has been
on just getting something working in my personal namespace.

Expect an olek3 branch later today with the latest from what Yun (pcloudy)
and I have been working on.

Welcome to the team!

while I doubt that I'll be of technical help to work on this package I'd
like to express that I'm extremely happy.  Your effort for bazel which
will finally a big step to get tensorflow in which is a precondition for
several COVID-19 releavant packages is really welcome.

Thanks a lot

  Andreas.

To those interested in Bazel in Debian:

We just had a very positive discussion with upstream and I think that
finally getting Bazel into Debian is on the horizon. This endeavor is going
to be larger than one person, in the long run if not right at this moment.

Therefore, I would like to create a Bazel packaging team in Debian since a
team approach is what will ensure this build system remains viable and
well-supported even after the short-term goal of helping to get software
into Debian to address the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you are subscribed to this bug and are interested (or know someone who
is), please let me know if you would like to be part of that team in some
capacity. I am happy to continue coordinating this team and I am equally
happy to pass that responsibility on if anyone else has a strong desire to
do that. Since Kyle was previously working this project by himself, I
definitely defer to him if he has the time and desire to lead the new team.

Looking forward to getting a good group of people together who can
contribute to this, to whatever extent they are able!

Hi Kyle,

I'm working on a project on Debian. And need tensorflow to be packaged
in Debian. I don't know if you still have time to work on this ITP. If
not, can I take it over? Or we can co-maintain this together?

I've read your comment (Message #45). Lots of things that needs to do.
I'll make a detailed list soon.

And after playing around the bazel from 0.1.0 to 0.4.1. It seems that
the early versions can be built directly in Debian. But later versions
need previous one.

Yours,
Paul

Hi lamby,

I think you swapped the blocker and blockee there.

Also, I would be pretty keen on seeing roughtime packaged
in Debian, so don't hesitate to ping me in you need a
co-maintainer.  :)


Best,

  nicoo

Need this for #838416, "ITP: roughtime -- Secure time synchronisation" :)

Can you update on the latest status?

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to
build the majority of Google's software, and thus it has been designed to
handle build problems present in Google's development environment, including:

 * A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from
   source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism
   to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale
   its software development practices as the company grows.

 * An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for
   correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a
   continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate
   bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.

 * Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to
   support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used
   to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures
   from the same underlying codebase.

From discussions with upstream, some of Bazel's design may need to be
tweaked to interoperate well with distro requirements (like Debian).
They currently pack everything up into a single self-extracting
archive, with most libraries statically linked, which violates Debian
Policy, but they are definitely interested in making things compatible
with distro packaging:

I have some patches and WIP packaging prepared here:
