[Android-tools-devel] Is Android AVD Manager still to be packaged or is it packaged ?

[殷啟聰]

Hi Shirish,

Thank you for testing Android SDK in Debian, our work is in early
stage so your opinions help us a lot!

AVD Manager is part of this repository [1], which hosts all components
of Android SDK with a GUI. Currently it is not packaged yet, but we
have pacakged most C/C++ part and some of Java components without GUI
[2]. The package is [3] and is created by Markus Koschany.

We will eventually package both Java repositories. And I have an idea
that we should patch SDK Manager to download extra components to other
places or completely disable the downloading. Also, the emulator is
unavailable for now.

Regards,
Kai-Chung Yan
