Description Kristoffer Grundström 2011-04-14 17:25:05 CEST
Description of problem: I found out that Android SDK is out as open source & I find it hard to implement it at the moment. Someone interested is welcome to add it.

I want to use ADB in Terminal.

Here's the source: http://source.android.com/source/index.html

To build the SDK itself we would likely need ARM cross build tools, if we assume that's the default target architecture for people using the SDK. The android sources include prebuilt binaries but we won't use those. 

For the android eclipse plugin we would need:
 - eclipse-gef - can be taken from fedora
 - eclipse-wst, part of WTP - not very easy to build and package

Now we do have eclipse-gef-3.7.0-1.mga2 / eclipse-gef-3.6.2-2.mga1

Source RPM: (none) => android-sdk

Just out of curiosity, what's happening with this?

Nothing, unless someone is interested in packaging it. 

We won't ask for someone to do that, because there are still too many Mdv 2010.2 packages that aren't in Mageia, yet. Those packages should be done first.

However, a packager who is interested in android-sdk, is free to package it if there are no legal issues

is it possible to create the package now?

Comment 8 Oleg Bosis 2013-07-21 07:33:42 CEST
Reading info on this page: http://source.android.com/source/building.html makes me doubt it is possible to provide correct packages for android SDK. First its sources are of 8.5 GiB in size and I can not imagine such enormous src.rpm package or even a set of several packages. Second it requires Sun/Oracle's JDK 6 which can not be provided due to license restrictions.

The only technically possible solution here is to package prebuilt binary version of this SDK, but I guess it would violate some Mageia policies and rules in packaging. And besides you have to agree to Google License Agreement before using this SDK so I'm in doubt if it's legal to redistribute SDK in binary form (it may include some non-opensource components).

Comment 9 David GEIGER 2014-05-01 21:27:12 CEST
Hi,

package android-tools-4.4.2_r2 now imported and submitted on Cauldron (mga5).
android-tools contains the ADB service.

Closing this bug.

Regards daviddavid.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 10 Kristoffer Grundström 2014-05-02 04:09:55 CEST
There's an archive missing in the SVN.

rpmbuild -ba android-tools.spec complains about not finding extras-4.4.2_r2.tar.bz2 & I can't find it on the SVN, but it does exist in the src.rpm for Cauldron.
Comment 11 Kristoffer Grundström 2014-05-02 04:11:48 CEST
The tar-archive for core is also missing in the SVN so that should be imported as well.
Comment 12 Rémi Verschelde 2014-05-02 09:15:16 CEST
Archives are not hosted in svn.mageia.org/svn/packages Kristoffer. You either have to use mgarepo to get everything, or rebuild the source RPM.
