"textContent": "Agreed. The input is absolutely appreciated, but editors are not the big problem.\n\nBut, some good news: right now my little build solution has built the following (with patches as necessary to avoid EULA/licensing issues):\n\nFor the NDK:\n\n * 29 - the current stable version\n * 27d - the current LTS release\n * 25c - the last release to support KitKat (this one is important to me personally)\n\n\n\nFor each, I got packages for both gnu/linux and windows (I skipped Mac for now). Each one being both a compressed zip-file, and some other format (tar.xz for the older one, and tar.br for the two recent ones, it seems upstream is trying out ways of reducing the archive size?).\n\nFor the SDK:\n\n * 15 r9\n\n\n\nAgain, here it applies a small patch to prevent the EULA from being included in the packages. Turns out there has been many new revisions since r9 (right now it’s at 30-something?). And there is a new SDK 16 to look at. Unlike the NDK, the SDK does does not seem to have an LTS version? So I need to do some more building here.\n\nThere are some small things to clean up (like renaming the files to conform with the official zips - I am already doing this for the NDK releases), but that’s not a big problem.\n\nRight now my main concern is deciding on where to upload all of these! To @hans and @vdbhb59 : how should I proceed with uploading these? I’m going to put the sources of my build solution on codeberg, but I think it will be too much to also upload the actual results there (at least if I make more versions, it will be too big). Is this something any of you or f-droid could host? Obviously you might want to build these yourself, but the build system should make that easy when it’s done (just needs a debian install with some standard packages and the “repo” script).",
