[gentoo-user] Bring back dev-build/bazel ?

[gentoo-user] Bring back dev-build/bazel ?

Dear mailing-list,

dev-build/bazel has been removed last January along with tensorflow from distribution. While I cannot speak for tensorflow (but it seems a good idea), would it be doable to add back only bazel ?
Maybe as a -bin package to decrease maintainer burden.

I occasionnally have to use at the moment so I would totally understand that's not a priority.

Thanks,

Alexis

It is not in the main tree, but you can install it from the 'vowstar' overlay:

This package is also available in the 'HomeAssistantRepository':

http://gpo.zugaina.org/sci-libs/tensorflow

See here how to manage individual overlay repositories, if you're not familiar 
with them:

May want to try dev-build/bazelisk, never tried it but from what
I gather it wraps downloading a suitable version of prebuilt bazel
and passing arguments to it.

Thank you for the advice. Bazelisk seems the way to go as it "is the recommended way to install Bazel on Ubuntu, Windows, and macOS" [1].
