[Android-tools-devel] RFS: android-platform-external-libunwind/6.0.1+r55-1

[Chirayu Desai]

Hello Markus,

There's one thing about the r55 updates in general.
Previously, the android packages went out of sync, and some were stuck
on slightly older 6.0 revisions. Now most of the time there aren't
many changes, or any significant changes (i.e. code which isn't
android userspace) which would affect us, but there's something once
in a while.
Also, google only builds all of the source code together, with the
same version checked out.

Hence, to avoid confusion, I went ahead and updated all packages to
upstream tag 6.0.1_r55 (latest as of now), and also the Build-Depends
in various packages to the same, as they were even more out of sync
(all were at varying versions).

This does bring some problems though, that the packages would always
have to be updated in a particular order, and every time a new
upstream version comes out, they would all need to be updated.

We could set the BD again manually, relying on manual checking of code
changes, and only bumping it up when necessary - but making sure it
gets done on every upstream update, and for all repos, to not get out
of sync.
And / or perhaps we can make the update / upload process easier
somehow, if updating the 10+ packages in the correct order every time.

Regards,
Chirayu Desai
