[Android-tools-devel] Documenting the android build process for tools relevant to us.

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I think we should follow upstream here and make 'platform' packages, e.g.:

android-platform-23
android-platform-22
android-platform-21
android-platform-20
android-platform-19
etc.

The version numbers of the package should probably be the git tag we
use.  I'll bet seamlik knows the answer there.  Each of those then
install into

/usr/lib/android-sdk/platforms/android-23
/usr/lib/android-sdk/platforms/android-22
/usr/lib/android-sdk/platforms/android-21
/usr/lib/android-sdk/platforms/android-20
/usr/lib/android-sdk/platforms/android-19
etc.

For examples of what they contain, you can see upstream's packages:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-23_r03.zip

They are all listed here:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/repository-11.xml
