Package Android Studio in Fedora 21/20

[Petr Hracek]

Hello folks,

I would like to package Android Studio in Fedora 20/21.
The URL for Android Studio is 
(http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html)

What do you think about it?
Is it possible to package the IDE?
What about the license?

If it is not possible to package them into Fedora,
can we use rpmfusion non-free as a plugin?

Thank you very much.

You should ask the java list instead. Android Studio is based on Intellij
Idea which has issues for a build from the sources if my memory serves well.

Well,
I will separate the thread to java list where we should discuss things 
like licenses etc.

And what do you think about packaging Android Studio into Fedora.
I think that this issue is relevant to packaging list, isn't it?
Or are we blocked on licenses terms?

Possible? Sure, anything is...
Feasible? Unlikely

>  What about the license? 
I couldn't even bother going through the steps to get to the source code...It's
just too damn hard[1]. So...no idea about license but there would likely be a
few glitches

As Dridi mentioned, this is based on IntelliJ IDEA (or however it's
capitalized). It uses some custom build scripts to build, internally uses gradle
to actually build those android projects...It's a mess on top of mess. Yes,
people could package it. But it would take some serious effort and is definitely
not a one-man-job. Not to mention maintaining it afterwards.

We have enough packaged and unmaintained software in Java world as it is...

As for rpmfusion: rpmfusion has *identical* guidelines to Fedora. Only
difference is that they let in patented stuff (more or less). You can't package
something with unclear licensing or redistribution problems in rpmfusion either.

Yeah, I don't think you like my answer but...
