Package: lists.debian.org Severity: wishlist Dear listmasters,
Please consider creating a new list for the packaging of the Bazel build system in Debian. This project has attracted recent attention due to the Bazel dependency for tensorflow and tensorflow's extensive use in the scientific and medical communities. Debian's continued inability to package tensorflow was a high-priority issue during the recent biohackathon where we identified impediments to effective COVID-19 research. We currently have a half-dozen people interested in working on the build system and, once it becomes available, people wanting to build tensorflow and other packages that build with Bazel will need an easy way to contact the maintainers. The maintainers will also need a convenient way to coordinate with each other. Please let me know if you have any questions about my request, I'll be happy to discuss further! List name: debian-bazel Rationale: Please see above Short Description: Debian Bazel Build System Maintainers Long Description: Discussions related to Debian packaging of Bazel, a build system developed and used by Google, as well as building of Bazel packages in Debian. Please share bug reports, porting issues, questions, or patches here. Category: Developers (devel) Subscription Policy: Open Post Policy: Open Web Archive: Yes
