+# I have being unable to find Google's repository from where Android Studio gets the wear
+# aar files. People have been trying to solve this in relation to using Eclipse to build
+# wear apps, for example:
+# http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27913902/dependencies-from-android-gradle-build-or-how-to-build-an-android-wear-app-wit
+# However, both JCenter and Maven Central don't seem to hold any wearable pacakges:
+# https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/google/android/
+# https://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cwearable
+# So far, only found two odd repostories with up-to-date versions of the aar packages:
+# http://uiq3.sourceforge.net/Repository/com/google/android/support/wearable/
+# http://mvn.sibext.com/com/google/android/support/wearable/
+# (one is maintained by a company in Siberia)
+
+# Usage:
+# call with location of the Android SDk, e.g.:
+# ./compat-update.sh ~/code/android/sdk
+
+sdk=$1
+
+pushd $sdk/extras/android/support/v7
+
+# Exclude the project.properties files because Processing will regenerate it when
+# building the project
+zip -r appcompat.zip appcompat --exclude *project.properties*

 Collection of utility scripts that I put here for the lack of a better place.

+found in the Android SDK's extras folder

 perm-parse.py: generates the array of permissions for a given SDK level, to be pasted in
