With this kind of approach one could be one apt-get away from having an Android developer suite installed on their ubuntu system combined with Linaro's improvements. OTOH as Zach mentioned, one could keep the expectation that Android devs must complete the install steps as documented at Google, and that further additions from linaro would be a further steps. As long as install isn't awful, I could see either way being reasonable. > 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?
