# Notes on patches

To make Bazel's use of the official Android manifest merger tool consistent with
the [`tools:targetApi`
attribute.](https://developer.android.com/studio/write/tool-attributes#toolstargetapi),
`com.android.tools.build_manifest-merger_25.0.0-patched.jar` contains a patched
`OtherOperationType.class`. The patched class is generated by compiling
`build-system/manifest-merger/src/main/java/com/android/manifmerger/OtherOperationType.java`
from commit 8fff824b40 in
[studio-master-dev](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/base/+/master/build-system/manifest-merger/src/main/java/com/android/manifmerger)
with the following patch:
