Has anyone bothered to create a PPA for the Android SDK and/or NDK packages?
I saw a few things that hinted at this in my Googling, but nothing that jumped out as a preferred solution.
I'd guess that licensing issues might require it to operate like the flash-installer (or more comparably, the google-earth) package, but it would be very useful. The SDK install OOB lacks many of the features that proper package management could bring in (dependencies, multi-user permissions/capability, etc.)
Have you tried Upubuntu's guide?
