When a new minor version of an NDK is released, it replaces an older one,
e.g. r16 with r16b (see commit 6f295cb). But old NDK package remains in
the cache and provisioning script unpacks it too as it matches the mask.
Fix NDK provisioning to unzip only while-listed versions.
We should be replacing all our custom git shell commands with python3-git,
since it is a common library for doing that. It will receive a lot more
attention and maintenance than our code for doing it. For example, we
should not ever use shell=True, since that opens up a lot of security
risks.
The currently included Qt has known security issues and is outdated. This
can now be replaced by downloading and installing the Qt installer using
the sudo= build field. @relan's provisioner system will also replace this
once that's done. There are only two apps that currently use the Qt stuff:
* csd.qtproject.minesweeper
* org.openorienteering.mapper
We never allow git via SSH or password/key access, and right now, this
causes things to hang forever. This sets things up to fail quickly
with invalid ssh connections.
BatchMode=yes - passphrase/password querying will be disabled.
StrictHostKeyChecking=yes - never automatically prompt, or add host keys to
the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file, and refuse to connect to hosts whose host key
has changed.
Now that fdroidserver requires Python 3, there's no need to tune sshd for
an old version of Paramiko because Ubuntu 14.04 does not have
python3-paramiko package in its repositories:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python3-paramiko
We can safely assume that Ubuntu 14.04 users have installed a more recent
version of Paramiko from PIP.
The old hash does not work anymore, at least for platform-27. Where this
new one comes from:
1. Download command line tools from
https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#command-tools
2. Unzip the package
3. Run ./tools/bin/sdkmanager --licenses
4. Read and accept licenses
5. Find the hash in ./licenses/android-sdk-license
Google releases new API SDKs quite rarely (about 2 times a year), but when
they do this, many apps quickly start using it. Allow downloading new API
SDKs to avoid waiting for the next buildserver rebuild.
Now that the download file name and type seems to have stabilized, I
think we no longer need to manually specify each new added release in
this script to unpack.

Google is making gradle automatically download Android SDK components that
are needed by the build, but not already present. We need to support that
since it would be a lot of work to fight it. Plus, since each build starts
from the fresh snapshot, it should not be such a big deal to let each
build install stuff during the process.
