platform_bootable_recovery/minadbd/README.md

minadbd is now mostly built from libadbd. The fuse features are unique to
minadbd, and services.c has been modified as follows:

  - all services removed
  - all host mode support removed
  - `sideload_service()` added; this is the only service supported. It
    receives a single blob of data, writes it to a fixed filename, and
    makes the process exit.
Kill of most of the remainder of minadbd. I think everything left now is here to stay (services.c might get massaged in to libadbd if it gets refactored).

			`minadbd, and services.c has been modified as follows:`
support "sideload over ADB" mode Rather than depending on the existence of some place to store a file that is accessible to users on an an unbootable device (eg, a physical sdcard, external USB drive, etc.), add support for sideloading packages sent to the device with adb. This change adds a "minimal adbd" which supports nothing but receiving a package over adb (with the "adb sideload" command) and storing it to a fixed filename in the /tmp ramdisk, from where it can be verified and sideloaded in the usual way. This should be leave available even on locked user-build devices. The user can select "apply package from ADB" from the recovery menu, which starts minimal-adb mode (shutting down any real adbd that may be running). Once minimal-adb has received a package it exits (restarting real adbd if appropriate) and then verification and installation of the received package proceeds.
