I found out yesterday that [1] is building tf-lite packages, with the
help of bazel (I used Google's package for now, not yet the bullseye
version). As usual, this involved pulling several dependencies during
the build. The other path I got pointed to is [2] and [3] - just
exploring this.
Are you using bazel or rather the cmake path?

What are the patterns to externalize all that dependency fetching that
the build scripts and tools do? Did you find central knobs to redirect
them to locally pre-installed artifacts?

That would be great so that everyone is looking at the latest progress.
