[Android-tools-devel] Bug#802469: android-tools-adb: adb client cannot setup server to listen on tcp transport via -a option

[Kan-Ru Chen]

Package: android-tools-adb
Version: 4.2.2+git20130529-5.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The patch in bug #694176 changed the default server transport to use
local socket but it also removes the ability to use tcp transport.
The -a option doesn't work because although it sets gListenAll to 1,
the server is fork/exec'ed which doesn't inherit the variable.

This breaks other tools that expect to connect to the adb server via
tcp socket at localhost. I found this issue when I wanted to use
Firefox WebIDE with android-tools-adb.
