cp -a in package() segfaults inside fakeroot on ZFS due to a bug in libattr 2.5.2's attr_copy_file() (fixed upstream (https://github.com/sailfishos-mirror/attr/commit/58abfe6) but not released). Even with the fix, cp -a still errors out with "No data available" because it tries to preserve xattrs that don't translate across the fakeroot boundary on ZFS.

Fix: replace cp -a with cp -r --no-preserve=ownership since there's no reason to preserve xattrs on downloaded SDK binaries:

Using adb wait-for-device with this package causes mouse input freezes every few seconds that only stop after killing the process manually. Just using CTRL+C is not enough.Problem doesn't exist with the platform-tools package.

This package follows the stable channel (channel 0) from Android SDK Manager in Android Studio, whose source can be found at https://dl.google.com/android/repository/repository2-1.xml . So there might be delay if you only look at the release notes at https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools .

This one is packaging prebuilt platform tools from Google and is the one usually used by Android Studio users. android-tools builds from source instead. Both are valid choices imo.

Just found android-tools. So why does this package even exist?

@dreamingincode, you are correct, thank you for pointing that out. However, the current method is still a bad practice and does not work for every shell. Symlinking will solve the PATH issues once and for all.

I don't think adb is supposed to require root to run - or could you please link to an official source for that?

Or maybe you need to install the android-udev package and make sure you are in the adbusers group? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Android_Debug_Bridge#Daemon_exits_with_insufficient_permissions_error

Is there a reason why the package modifies the PATH for some selected shells instead of simply symlinking the binaries to /usr/bin/? Since newer versions require elevated permissions to work, it becomes frustrating to have to use sudo $(which adb).

Since when does adb require elevated priviledges?

These tools are installed in /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools. It seems that the PKGBUILD adds the directory to PATH only for sh and csh and not other shells. I use Nushell, so I have a problem similar to what php4fan has. I added it to PATH manually.
