[Android-tools-devel] Bug#827646: apktool: refer directly to framework-res.apk from android-framework-res

[Paul Wise]

Package: apktool
Severity: wishlist
Usertags: cruft

Currently [1] is copied to [2]. It would be nice if apktool could refer
to [2] directly instead of copying it over to my home directory, which
is a waste of disk space and is crufty. I worked around the disk usage
by making it a symlink but I still have the cruft there.

I recommend two actions here:

Make the code create a symlink on filesystems where that is possible
and copy the file where that is not possible.

Talk to upstream about having predefined frameworks available at paths
defined at build time that don't get copied around.

   1. /usr/share/android-framework-res/framework-res.apk
   2. /home/pabs/.local/share/apktool/framework/1.apk
