Hey Alexander!
Thanks for your interest! I think you want to leave out the init.gradle
pit, and include this line in your build.gradle:
maven { url 'file:///usr/share/maven-repo' }
For example:
https://github.com/guardianproject/LocationPrivacy/blob/master/build.gradle
These are the steps I took to get it working on Debian/stretch. It
should be similar on buster:
*
https://github.com/guardianproject/LocationPrivacy/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml
*
https://gitlab.com/fdroid/privileged-extension/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml#L16
Fluff Rabbit,
I understand your frustration. Google makes it really hard to package
the Android tools, they really don't care about free software, so they
include all sorts of mystery blobs, etc. Sounds like both of you think
it is important to have truly free Android tools. So helping us
figuring out what is working and what specifically is broken would be a
great contribution.
