Thanks for your feedback and support on the package.

Yes the Ubuntu package hasn't been upgraded yet but offers both adb
and adbd support which is pretty neat in my opinion, I'm using it
extensively as well.

Martin, I just tried to build the host adb package to connect to my
MotoG3 phone running Android 6.0 Marshmallow and it works just fine so
I don't see any issue with this adb version. What device have you been
having troubles with?

Thomas, rebasing that patch I realized it doesn't apply cleanly on
master right now due to packages/Config.in.host. Also, I realized the
package Config.in.host is missing "host " in its bool description. Do
you want me to send a v5?

Regards,
Gary
