Repository status

We believe sdkmanager needs a patch/mod so that we can add a repository with precedence over google's. Help welcome.

Some tooling is needed to regenerate the xml listings, the SDK builds only provide a per-build output in v1 format.

F-Droid's call for help

Repository structure: android-repository-history project, a bit of official doc

Meanwhile you can unzip the packages in your existing SDK and let sdkmanager detect them.
