Hi,

I like Chirayu's patch and I think creating a standalone package for
framework-res.apk is appropriate because not only apktool but other
packages need it as well. I would also prefer ~/.local/share/apktool
because the framework resources are needed permanently and not just
temporarily.

We could provide an additional script to extract the framework resources
from Android resources, if that helps. This could be either installed to
/usr/share/doc/apktool/examples via an *.examples file or it could even
be a new executable in /usr/bin. I don't mind diverging from upstream in
this case.

@Chirayu

I suggest you commit your changes directly to Debian's apktool Git
repository. There is no need for a separate code collaboration tool like
Gerrit for example. Every commit can be reverted. If you are unsure or
your changes are really intrusive, feel free to create a separate branch
and we merge everything into master later.

I also suggest to address bug reports by just sending all e-mails to the
relevant bug e-mail address and keep the bug submitter in CC if
necessary. Switching between IRC and e-mail is at times confusing. Every
team member who is subscribed to android-tools-devel will be informed.

Regards,

Markus
