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___Building https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/GetSource# Platform_Code_Get_source_and_Building
But normally it's better to download and build the source according to the instruction in following link: https://releases.linaro.org/latest/android/lcr/armv8- android-juno-lsk#tabs-3
You really think its best to try and *port* LCR to a new platform by starting from manifests (either source-manifest.xml or pinned-manifest.xml) that are released in order to reproduce a Juno build?
I am really surprised by this. Not least because taking the manifests from the reproducible builds means we end up hiding all the group="" stuff that LCR uses internally to organize itself.
Thanks for this feedback, we will check it internally. BTW, you can download the latest released version with command like this: ./linaro_android_build_cmds.sh -o $PWD/vendor.tar.bz2
I don't really understand why a port would not start out by forking: https://android.git.linaro.org/gitweb/platform/manifest. git/shortlog/refs/heads/linaro_android_5.0.0
I am not sure I understand you correctly here, could you please help to explain more details on how to start out via forking the above link?
