[Android-tools-devel] Help with Bundletool update

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I think updating android-platform-tools-base could be a big project. And aapt2 
Java code isn't packaged AFAIK.  It looks like there are just two self-contained 
protobuf files needed from aapt2, so I would just include those in the package 
via a patch.

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/tools/aapt2/Resources.proto
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/tools/aapt2/Configuration.proto

I think it would be worth spending up to a day trying to just patch in the files 
needed from aapt2.  If that fails, then we'll have to look into updating 
android-platform-tools-base.

One thing to look out for is that these aapt2 files should come from the same 
tag/release as what bundletool wants.  But maybe it doesn't matter so much, 
since it seems that these files don't change much with each release.  For 
example, see the blame view:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+blame/master/tools/aapt2/Resources.proto
