Title:
  [MIR] Android, CyanogenMod, Clockworkmod, et al

Status in “android” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “android-src-vendor” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “android-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gcc-arm-linux-androideabi” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Availability:
   * ppa:ubuntu-toolchian/android and/or saucy/multiverse

  Rationale:
   * needed to build http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/

  Security:
   * see include copies of code
   * upstream, infrequent OTA updates / code-drops with/without security patches

  QA:
   * package not-trivial to build, sources prepared using repo forest checkout
   * upstream is mostly health and actively takes patches (AOSP & Cyanogenmod)
   * these builds are for exotic hardware (nexus *) which require binary blobs for support

  Dependenices:
   * cross-toolchain and packages are self-contained to compile from source for arm-linux-androideabi
   * Using sbuild, it builds correctly in i386 chroots, to build on amd64 hosts the package:i386 need to be installed, as the build is done using multilib toolchain targetting 32bit. Limitations in sbuild/current mutliarch spec doesn't allow speficying package:i386 [amd64]  build-dependencies

  Standards compliance:
   * the packages comply with FHS, but by themself are not very useful, as in the end one should use android-tools to flash the produced binareis onto target devices

  Maintainance:
   * Ubuntu and Phone Foundations teams are maintaining these set of packages.
