Hello,

I have been working on the android-framework-23 package, got it ready for
unstable, pushed it to alioth [1] and filed an ITP [2]. Updates since the
last report include completely changing the way how certain files were
generated, previously it compiled all the files but upstream only included
a select few. The version compiled now matches upstream, the files built
for the debian package were compared with the binaries upstream provides.

[2]: https://bugs.debian.org/833458

With this, from what I have tested so far there would only remain one bug
to be fixed [3], before which we would be able to build most of android
apps targeting android 23 .

Apart from that, I updated apktool to the latest upstream version [4]. We
had certain patches to make it more suitable for Debian, and some were able
to be upstreamed [5]. This release included that, and so I did the update
and was able to drop one patch, and make another patch smaller (by a line
none the less).

I was also able to get KGB working for our android-tools projects. It is
now available on #debian-android-tools (IRC, OFTC) and configured for all
commits pushed to alioth android-tools projects. It was initially
configured by my mentor a few weeks ago but wasn't working, I tried a few
things to get it to work (basically verifying the configuration), and one
small line about how git hooks handles arguments given to it was what had
caused it not to work. Working now, and certainly very useful.

I was unable to work much at all for the entirety of week 12, due to health
issues. More details sent privately to my mentors and outreach@d.o. I'm
still not entirely in a workable state, but it has gotten much better.
which should allow me to finish some things this week.

Regards,
Chirayu Desai
