go recently received a security upgrade to 1.12.8 (f4894bf9) this
upgrade fixes various CVEs in go standard libraries, for instance in
HTTP/2 functionality. Since go is statically linked packages using this
functionality need to be rebuild.
The build system including all patches required to build android-tools
on a musl-based system is located on my GitHub profile. This has the
advantages that patches are collected in a central place and enables
collaboration with package maintainers from other distribution.
While the CMake based system doesn't built all the tools previously
built by the ruby script it has some advantages over the previous setup.
The biggest advantage being that the software compiles fine with gcc
now.
As a long time goal all previously supported commands will likely be
supported again in the future but for now all tools I use regularly
bases are included (fastboot and adb).
This upgrade includes a ruby script for generating ninja build file
instead of manually creating a Makefile. The ruby script is taken from
the Arch Linux PKGBUILD.
Patches have also been taken from Arch Linux but needed some
modifications.
