I think it is not acceptable. We should create some libsparce-bin binary and link all names you need to it.
Please provide more info what binaries do you need. In Android.mk I see only: simg2img_host simg2img img2simg_host img2simg append2simg Note that this is for EPEL (EL7), and the simg2img and img2simg tools are not included there. If the EPEL package could be bumped to the f23 version, with the f23 tooling, that would likely resolve my issue just fine. We are working on update android-tools to the lastest upstream code. Please provide exact list of tools you want to be included into android-tools-fsutils subpackage I'd very much like to see: img2simg simg2img ext2simg append2simg make_ext4fs would be handy, but I'm slightly concerned about the name. It could lead to confusion with the base distro filesystem usage. Also, there's a patch debian uses that allows it to preserve ownership. -> https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/vcswatch?package=android-tools That patch is very useful when generating images for arm dev boards and phones. any progress? This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component. |
Created attachment 1087646 [details] patch to add android-tools-fsutils subpackage Description of problem: creating sparse images for use with fastboot is easier when using make_ext4fs and/or img2simg, from the libsparse directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): android-tools-20130123git98d0789-5 Currently the image creation tools aren't built. This patch creates a subpackage called android-tools-fsutils with make_ext4fs ext4fixup ext2simg img2simg simg2img and simg2simg I would request that this patch be added to the epel7 build, and possibly the fedora build if suitable.
