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

[Chirayu Desai]

I was thinking of scripting the updates.
We have so many versions only because they have multiple tags for each
release (different devices), and they're doing monthly security
releases. While most of that would not affect the code we build, some
of it would, so it would be better to get those in.

Since we don't modify upstream much at all, the patches aren't too big
- it won't be hard to script the updates, and/or deal with any minor
conflicts.
I had that on my mind before I left for DebConf, and even had this
saved as a draft, but I hadn't got around to doing this yet as right
now I'm working on the google-android-*-installer packages.
