Packaging policy acknowledgement

• [X] I have read and understand the Packaging Policy.

Additional information

Now that we have got openjdk on official repository, it would be great to have Bazel. Bazel is required to build many Google's Open Source Project.

Also it would be great if we can have a termux_setup_bazel script too for packages requiring Bazel to build

Cross-building Bazel seems to be a bit too challenging. It adopts a unique build system which generates native binaries.

On the other hand, implementing termux_setup_bazel for use in GitHub Actions will not be too difficult, I suppose.

There may sit the difficulty of on-device building between the two.

@Mame29 trying related discussion workaround for 6.3.2 version, running termux-chroot separately and facing permission denied. I run in sdcard storage rather than termux ~/: ./compile.sh’: Permission denied

[Mame29]

@aseok is insposible compile in storage sdcard without root access,
