Build scripts and patches that produce the packages distributed through Termux's Android package repository.

This is the build system behind Termux's apt/pkg package repository for Android. Use it to build a package for Termux yourself, or to see how upstream software is cross-compiled and patched for Android. It is not an app for end users.
