Comment:

 Here are some comments:

 1) Where is the `remove-vpn.patch` coming from? I doubt that it applies to
 our current HEAD. If we need to have patches for `tor-android-service`,
 please provide them against our repo. That's the canonical one now.

 2) I doubt we still need `export GRADLE_MAVEN_REPO="file://$gradle_repo"`
 as the patches relying on that are gone?

 3) How do I re-create the dependencies list? I tried now for a while but
 still failed. Please update the `how-to-create-gradle-dependencies-
 list.txt` so I can verify your work.
