Guys,

in general...
Is it possible to precompile needed libraries and put it somewhere on
the Harmony's website? Do download them through depends.xml...

As a workaround we can download source archives from the original
sites of the libraries and then build them from the Harmony build
script.

SY, Alexey

We will include third party libraries that are build and released by a
third party, yes.  Therefore, there is no need to host that stuff.

But as far as I understand we will do that... HDK will include this
libraries. Isn't it?

We don't want to do that, distribute third party code that we build.

Right.  Or a dependency area somewhere to make it regularized in form -
share the scripts to do that thing.

Or just give people a pointer, and instructions on how to do it, and let
them set a property as to where our bulids can find the artifacts...
