would it be possible to avoid vendoring "third_party/googleapis/"

[ensonic]

I am currently trying to find ways to actually use protoc-gen-swagger from bazel. the build tools can't manage the way the vendored protos are used, see
bazel-contrib/rules_go#1322 (comment)

FYI, my untested build rule looks like this:

load("@com_google_protobuf//:protobuf.bzl", "proto_gen")

def swagger_proto_library(
        name,
        srcs=[],
        deps=[],
        include=None,
        protoc="@com_google_protobuf//:protoc",
        protoc_gen_swagger = "@github_com_grpc_ecosystem_grpc_gateway//protoc-gen-swagger:protoc-gen-swagger",
        internal_bootstrap_hack=False,
        use_grpc_plugin=False,
        default_runtime="@com_google_protobuf//:protobuf",
        **kargs):
  includes = []
  if include != None:
    includes = [include]

  proto_gen(
      name=name,
      srcs=srcs,
      deps=deps,
      includes=includes,
      protoc=protoc,
      plugin=protoc_gen_swagger,
      outs=[s[:-len(".proto")] + ".yaml" for s in srcs],
      visibility=["//visibility:public"],
  )

Whatever changed, I can now build it! Thanks!
