Hi,

I'm subscribed to android-tools-devel.

Ok, I will rename the source package to android-platform-tools-base. I'm
not so sure with the versioning. I have checked out the studio-1.5 tag.
The build system uses

rootProject.ext.buildVersion = 1.5.0 (Android Studio version)
rootProject.ext.baseVersion = 24.5.0 (=> API)

The 6.0.0+r26-1 numbers seems to be more like an internal versioning
scheme. In my opinion we should either use the Android Studio release
numbers or the API version which would be in line with the official
releases from:

https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other

or the developers guide from

https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/tools/build

I would go with 1.5.0 in this case.

Thanks.

I didn't need to package this repository but thanks for pointing it out
to me. In fact I only need build.gradle and settings.gradle from this
repo. I could create src:android-platform-tools-buildsrc and install the
gradle build files for instance into
/usr/share/android/android-platform-tools-buildsrc. I would still need
to copy these files into the build tree because they need some patches.

I think it makes sense to maintain all android-* packages as part of the
android-tools team and all generic packages like intellij-annotations,
that are useful across different packaging teams, in pkg-java.

Cheers,

Markus
