Bug#692863: Bug#644520: Bug#692863: ITP: heimdall -- tool for flashing firmware on Samsung Galaxy S devices

Hi Steve,

I also think keeping the name heimdall-flash makes more sense as it's
not part of official android-tools.

Are you sure you want to upload the latest git version? The tag
v1.4~rc1 you're referring to doesn't exist "yet".

And according to the website: "ATTENTION: Heimdall 1.3.2 broke
compatibility for several devices. In most case it is recommended that
you use version 1.3.1 instead. If you own a Galaxy Player 5 or similar
device, then version 1.3.2 will still be required. Please use version
1.3.1 for all other devices until 1.3.3 is released."

I'm not sure if this is still correct, but maybe it would make sense
to upload the 1.3.1 version first at the moment?

What do you think? Anyway go ahead and upload it, then.

Regards,
Philipp
