Packaging the android Ubuntu Touch parts
Since the initial plan of cross building the android container on a livefs buildd did not work out, we have roughly redefined the build process for these touch image parts to build from source packages instead. Nothing of this process has been detailed yet nor have work items for the defined bits been assigned, we should do this during a vUDS session.

Whiteboard
Previously attempted to cross-build Android on livefs builders, but this killed livefs builders; they are not generally a good site for doing lots of code builds, and this is an inefficient process anyway since we were rebuilding even when nothing had changed.
we have a source tarball at http://
build process is described at https:/
We are going to split bits out of this until it is small enough to allow it to be built on a package builder. The most urgent thing is the compilers within the tree.
Ideal end point is that this would be wittled down to a number of packages which can be uploaded separately.
