It does indeed! Thanks very much for that.

OK. This is now in debian as 'abseil', providing libabsl-dev (v0~20200923.3)
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/abseil

We have 20210201. What version(s) does tensorflow need?
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/re2

We have android-platform-external-boringssl at 10.0.0+r36. What versions does tensorflow need?
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/android-platform-external-boringssl
But that's only for building android packages. Is there a native-linux version of this too?

So that's presumably https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/eigen3 (3.3.9) and https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/highwayhash (	0~git20200803.9490b14)
and fixing the build up to use the system versions shouldn't be too hard.

Which bit of software is this? I found implentations in R and python and fortran and C. What exactly does tensorflow need?

Presumably this: https://github.com/google/farmhash

This: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp
WNPP entry here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887374 (from 2018 - I'll see where they got to)

And these live in the awslabs account:

Are all these build-deps required for a basic package or are some of
them for 'optional extras' which we can get to later after getting a
basic package uploaded? I'm a bit confused because I can already build
libtensorflow_framework.so which I thought was working without
external dependencies, but maybe it is sucking things off the
net. I've not checked rigorously yet.

Packaging all those bits looks like a significant chunk of work. I'll take a look.
