[Bug 1699928] Re: Please delete obsolete android binaries

[Jeremy Bicha]

** Description changed:

- Since Canonical's Ubuntu phone project is ending and no one has stepped
- up to maintain Ubuntu's android-tools fork, we are syncing the Android
- stack from Debian.
+ New Request
+ ===========
+ Please remove phablet-tools and goget-ubuntu-touch and all their binaries from artful. goget-ubuntu-touch does not build in zesty or artful and I don't think anyone is interested in maintaining it in Ubuntu at this time. It can be re-added later if someone volunteers.
+ 
+ phablet-tools also fails to build (pep8) but I don't think it's very
+ useful without ubuntu-device-do and ubuntu-device-flash.
+ 
+ Background
+ ==========
+ Since Canonical's Ubuntu phone project is ending and no one has stepped up to maintain Ubuntu's android-tools fork, we are syncing the Android stack from Debian.
  
  This benefits users by allowing them to use the latest adb and fastboot
  instead of an old copy.
  
  There are a few obsolete binaries that need to be removed to make this
  happen, because Debian's android-tools is only built for a limited set
  of supported architectures (not ppc64el or s390x).
  
+ 
+ Original Report
+ ===============
  Please delete these binaries:
  
  android-tools-fsutils for ppc64el and s390x
  ubuntu-device-do for ppc64el
  ubuntu-device-flash for ppc64el
  
  These are listed on update_excuses.html or update_output.txt

** Also affects: phablet-tools (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
