To support Tizen packages, I would probably write a different tool, either to generate apk files from a neutral cross-platform manifest format, or perhaps to convert xpk to apk. I am not really sure which way Crosswalk packaging is going, so I went with the format which I feel is a high priority right now (apks for Crosswalk for Android). > 2) Could you please explain a little bit more about grunt and > related tools?

However, it is fairly easy to extend and understand, and implemented in JavaScript, which add to its appeal for web developers. The grunt documentation is pretty thorough and should tell you everything you want to know: http://gruntjs.com/getting-started > 3) I suggest to use JIRA to track all of these items. > This project is not currently a formal part of Crosswalk.

Having packaging code embedded in the Crosswalk source code makes it inaccessible, difficult to manage, and inconvenient to work on. Splitting the tools for creating packages from the main source tree for Crosswalk is part of what I'm proposing. So I suggest creating a separate standalone project specifically for xwalk-apk-generator, and managing it via github (including its issue tracking). Which means that I can't make PRs with patches, as this is really a parallel effort which sits outside Crosswalk. Whether it is part of the crosswalk-project github or not is open to debate.
