Thanks for your interest! I have a better patch for a larger part of Tensorflow coming up, but it=E2=80=99s not quite ready and I haven=E2=80=99= t been able to finish it yet. I think that the patch I previously posted is not quite as useful as I had originally hoped. The new package uses the (now removed) CMake build system and unfortunately must be built with all the bundled libraries. I=E2=80=99ll be away to attend a conference for the rest of this week, but I suppose I could rebase the patch some time next week and send the work in progress as a follow-up to https://issues.guix.info/issue/31386. -- Ricardo
