Bazel is overengineered, overly complex, hard to use, has obscure parts, and also changes frequently. It doesn't even have a feature to install files, like GNU Make or cmake. IMO, tensorflow can't just be "cleaned up" and built after this. Every Bazel-based port would suffer from the same problems. Google can afford to have such a tool, but other's don't have that kind of resources to handle these issues. I'd just fork the bazel port to the version that can build TensorFlow, this is the easiest solution. Yuri
