Been pretty happy with my yearly membership (5g hotspot) for vanlife. Glad that loot is going to F-Droid.

The headline here seems strange. Literally two sentences about Calyx in the entire article. Why was the original headline not used?

Edit: looks like it was changed between my read and my comment. Nevermind!

This is great! I hope some of this work goes towards building a good free android sdk for debian. Last time I checked, the debian sdk was stuck on a really old android version, and the android rebuilds project relied on prebuilt compilers from google (hello ken thompson attack).

Speaking of, how do they deal with java dependencies? Last I checked gradle there was simply no way to tell it to build things from source, instead pulling hundreds of prebuilt java binaries, with native libraries and all.

Some of the bits of the Android SDK are slowly getting packaged for Debian:

Also there is this project for rebuilding the Android SDK from source, but I'm not sure if it is active any more:

The Bootstrappable Builds folks might have something about Android/Java bootstrap stuff:
