• On 2018/02/26, LineageOS's common.py script expects the bro_cmd to call an executable called bro, which doesn't exist since Fedora uses the full brotli name for the executable
• The following cat command checks whether or not the above is true still
• This copies the brotli executable from /usr/bin/brotli to the ~/bin directory
• Be aware of https://github.com/CopperheadOS/platform_build/commit/5c09ccfcd149784f92719fb32890b284164c427e in-case brotli still doesn't work

cat ~/'android/lineage-15.1/build/make/tools/releasetools/common.py' | grep 'bro_cmd'

cp '/usr/bin/brotli' ~/'bin/bro'

• Builds the ROM, signs it, and generates a flashable zip
• Includes the above brotli fix
