What's the Android team's stance on the non-official versions of the Android support libraries?
Eg https://github.com/Prototik/HoloEverywhere/issues/842#issuecomment-49746122 These libraries have the same GAV (groupId, artifactId, version) as the official versions but have totally different contents. This means that the same project built on 2 different machines can produce radically different outputs (unbeknownst to the developers). Or even 2 libraries both listing the same dependency having very different needs and producing some nightmare when combined (again unbeknownst to the developer doing the combining). These libraries are being published in the com.android.* namespace, so appear to be official Android team libraries which means developers are going to start coming to you guys for support as things start to break down at the edges. If the Android team were actually publishing these artifacts into a public repository there wouldn't be a vacuum for incidents like this to occur. So what's the plan to stop this hole getting bigger and deeper? William -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "adt-dev" group.
