Meh, Android is really wonderful open-source :-)

Yes, it would be nicer if you included them directly in your repo.

An example of something that was not completely correct is that your
script uses aplay, but the package does not select
BR2_PACAKAGE_ALSA_UTILS. But I believe it should not: there are
possible use cases for this text-to-speech engine that don't involve
playing the sound on the local device.

Just put the Github URL then :)

Yes, but we very much prefer to use <pkg>_AUTORECONF = YES when
possible.

Thanks!
