    Please acknowledge by replying to the same thread who all will be
    joining us for the monthly meeting. Some major agendas involving dealing with Gradle, kotlin, et al. (It will be great to have people from the #debian-java team as well, so we can discuss some of the issues). There
    has been some great progress in the field of kotlin.

    And, feel free to add agendas to the same thread. The meeting will be at #debian-android-tools on OFTC.

    Those who are joining us for the first time, join #debian-android-tools
    on OFTC. In case of
    any queries, please feel free to mail back or tag me on the channel. :D

    Hope to see you all there at the meeting. :)


    Will join and provide status update on Kotlin.

    # kotlin

    Repo moved, https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/kotlin/
    All blockers resolved to be self-rebuildable (6+ times)
    Lintian errors/warnings, d/copyright reviewed, patches reorganized
    Ready for upload, once openjdk-8 (waiting in the NEW queue) rentered https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/kotlin/-/issues/11
    **Thanks**: jnsamyak, sunilmohan, emorrp1

    **action**: sunil to email asking for a DD to review and be ready to upload **action**: add yourself to uploaders to track post-upload

    # new platform-tools and build-tools source packages

    Google uses a different versioning and release cycle for each, so
    although e.g. system/core is duplicated, it can be different source for platform and build. This is not important now but will be for Phase 3. Similarly, the components listed in manifest.xml have their own
    subdirectory layout which we want to keep to as close as possible,
    avoiding divergance from upstream build expectations.

    Merged all split packaging repos into one per upstream release cycle
    Phase 1 complete, common components deliberately duplicated
    **Thanks**: pgan, The_LoudSpeaker, Manas kashyap, gopal_k, cdesai, emorrp1

    Phase 2: removing dependence on debian packages for components that are
    already being built internally, as part of the build process.
    Open question: What to do with components that don't belong in either? https://salsa.debian.org/android-tools-team/admin/-/issues/43
    Open question: is it possible to use uscan MUT watch file to bypass
    google's `repo`, subdirectories imply a / in the component filename

    # other tools

    gradle: no change
    conscrypt: large enough to be its own package, depends on other android packages
    apksigner: quite self-contained, not used by binaries in build-tools and doesn't
    share any deps either
