[Android-tools-devel] updating packages to 6.0.1_r43 (or any update of upstream sources)

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey all,

I see that the first 6.0.1_r43 update has gone into unstable with
android-platform-frameworks-base.  Its great to see progress on that.
There is one key detail to that process that we have to follow: the
order of uploading the updates.

It is important that all updates are built only against upstream
versions that are an exact match. All of the Bulid-Depends of
android-platform-frameworks-base 6.0.1_r43 should also be from
6.0.1_r43.  This is important to prevent obscure bugs causing by
building against older libraries.  Google handles this by checking out
and building the whole SDK at once.
