Hi list, I don't know whether this is correct list for my questions. If it's not, please let me know and sorry for the noise.
We have a premium member who is trying to create member build based on LCR. Here is the first questions they asked: What's the difference between AOSP and LCR?
I downloaded the android source (I suppose it's LCR) by following the link here: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/GetSource#Platform_Code_Get_source_...
and got couple of questions regarding this source: 1. Is this source code for LCR?
2. I suppose the source code could be divided to two parts: - base android src defined by MANIFEST_BRANCH. Which match the same tag on Google AOSP exactly even they are from Linaro android git server. - Addon projects from Linaro defined by local manifest. Let me know if I have wrong assumption.
This is important because the member is from PRC. It's very easy to hit network issue when we download the source from Linaro android git server.
If my understanding is correct, we could suggest a temporary workaround to member that they download the base android src from Google AOSP server. And download addon projects from Linaro server.
3. I noticed there is a directory named "android-patchset" which includeds some additional patches. But it looks like LCR doesn't apply them. I checked two place: - linaro_android_build_cmds.sh. It exports PATCHSETS. But doesn't use it. - bionic revision in pinned-manifest.xml and the snapshot of AOSP. They are exactly same. So no additional patch applied on bionic when android-patchset has bionic patch
Did I miss something here?
