-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-18782 2012-11-22 03:31:32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : android-tools Product : Fedora 16 Version : 20121120git3ddc005 Release : 1.fc16 URL : http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/ Summary : Android platform tools(adb, fastboot) Description : The Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is used to: - keep track of all Android devices and emulators instances connected to or running on a given host developer machine - implement various control commands (e.g. "adb shell", "adb pull", etc.) for the benefit of clients (command-line users, or helper programs like DDMS). These commands are what is called a 'service' in ADB. Fastboot is used to manipulate the flash partitions of the Android phone. It can also boot the phone using a kernel image or root filesystem image which reside on the host machine rather than in the phone flash. In order to use it, it is important to understand the flash partition layout for the phone. The fastboot program works in conjunction with firmware on the phone to read and write the flash partitions. It needs the same USB device setup between the host and the target phone as adb. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: - Update to upstream git commit 3ddc005 - Added more udev devices - Added ext4_utils from extras for fastboot - Updated makefiles - Resolves: rhbz 869624 start adb server by udev For security reasons fastboot is now need to be run as root to be able to access devices. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Nov 20 2012 Ivan Afonichev <ivan.afonichev@gmail.com> - 20121120git3ddc005-1 - Update to upstream git commit 3ddc005 - Added more udev devices - Added ext4_utils from extras for fastboot - Updated makefiles - Resolves: rhbz 869624 start adb server by udev -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
