Hey,
I spent most of the second week learning new things since a major update in going on in android-platform-system-core and no package which depends on its binaries could be built. I got android-platform-development[1] updated and merged to upstream, android-platform-framewroks-native[2] updated and merged, learned to build packages using gradle-debian-helper and maven-repo-helper , learned more about makefiles, learned about sed, learned autopkgtest and wrote my very first makefile[3] to do a mass update.
I am currently learning more about continuous integration on gitlab and will be working on packaging sdkmanager from android-platform-sdk(yet to be imported to salsa).
