Progress in preparing the Bazel Build System for Debian (COVID-19 Biohackathon follow-up)
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 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: [RFS] setzer/0.2.5-1 [ITP] -- simple yet full-featured LaTeX editor
Hi Stephan, thanks for your work on a new package. I have shortly reviewed it and there are have some very minor notes:: - Please use the git-packaging schema, described in Debian Science Policy [1]. Usually we do not pull upstreams commits, but import tarball with pristine-tar. [1] https://science-team.pages.debian.net/policy/#idm297 - please double check all files and put all licenses in the d/copyright. It is very important! Please fix the first issue and double-check the second note and I will upload this package. Best regards Anton Am Di., 28.
