Dear FTP Team, The Debian Med Team is currently in its third hackathon [1] to enable better tools for doctors and scientists to fight COVID-19. Our longest-running effort, which we started at the beginning of the first COVID-19 hackathon, is now almost at an end! I uploaded the bootstrap variant of the Bazel build system to NEW a couple days ago [2]. This has only one build-dependency that is not in Debian yet. [3] Once both packages clear NEW, TensorFlow and other pieces of software that use the Bazel build system will be available to Debian users. More specifically, this software will be available to the above-mentioned doctors and scientists. I'd like to also take this opportunity to publicly acknowledge the amazing support that we received from the Google Bazel team. Without their tireless efforts to help us enable the Bazel build system to be Debian-friendly, we could not have accomplished this. Their support for Debian and global health has been extremely motivating for those of us working (in our own ways) to fight this global crisis. With all of that being said, this will be the last time during this endeavor that I will be asking for special consideration. I greatly appreciate all the expedited NEW processing of the 14 Bazel build dependencies that you previously approved. If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if one of you was able to take a quick look at these remaining two packages. I'm available to address any issues or questions you may have. Thank you very much in advance!! -Olek [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2020/08/msg00094.html [2] https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/bazel-bootstrap_3.4.0%2Bds-1.html [3] https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/checker-framework-java_3.0.1%2Bds-1~exp2.html
