Yeah, I don't think we need to redo Google's SDK install. Of course if we could have apt-get drive Google's install that would be something - plus install Eclipse and the Eclipse plug-in. Of course it would also have to handle auto-updating. The instructions are here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html The only tools that may be worth shipping are adb and fastboot. Of course I'm not sure if we can distribute them - they may have to come from Google. > >> Another criteria is if it allows for more opportunistic Android hacking >> -- i.e. I have an Ubuntu system and an Android device and am scared of >> this big opaque third-party-provided Android SDK; can I install some >> tools (adb etc) from the Ubuntu archive that let me start hacking right >> away? > > I'd sure like to think so. > >> -- >> Christian Robottom Reis, Engineering VP >> Brazil (GMT-3) | [+55] 16 9112 6430 | [+1] 612 216 4935 >> Linaro.org: Open Source Software for ARM SoCs >> >> _______________________________________________ >> linaro-dev mailing list >> linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org >> http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev >> > > > > -- > Regards, > Tom > > "We want great men who, when fortune frowns will not be discouraged." > - Colonel Henry Knox > Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs > w) tom.gall att linaro.org > w) tom_gall att vnet.ibm.com > h) tom_gall att mac.com > _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
