Hmmm, that seems to be a lot. Strangely enough if I try to build in pbuilder it downloads several dependencies from the internet - except if sitting behind a proxy that is unknown to the pbuilder environment. I have never observed this before - seems bazel knows "tricks" to undermine the offlineish nature of the pbuilder environment. I have never seen this happening before. > Besides, one of the most valuable reverse dependency of tensorflow is > tensorboard (feel free to take over this ITP since I feel overloaded): > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=973002 I've commited some initial packaging to Salsa[1]. It also needs some third party software. The first one is http://mirror.tensorflow.org/github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-skylib/archive/0.7.0.tar.gz I wonder whether all those dependencies are mandatory or whether we might be able to exclude something optional. > I'm not able to participate in TF maintenance, but I care about > tensorboard because it can be used by PyTorch as well.

I could *help* with this - but I'm clearly neither qualified nor does my time limit permit really focussing on this work. Kind regards Andreas.
