Hello,

As the result of implementation of
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/+spec/build-config-in-git ,
android-build.linaro.org now can indirectly fetch build config stored
in a git repository. To achieve that, bootstrap config (as specified
in android-build.linaro.org) should contain reference to config's
repo/branch/file (configuration variables are modeled on the similar
MANIFEST_* ones), e.g.:

BUILD_CONFIG_REPO=git://git.linaro.org/people/pfalcon/android/linaro/build-configs.git
BUILD_CONFIG_BRANCH=master

BUILD_CONFIG_FILENAME=panda-ics-gcc46-tilt-tracking-blob.conf


http://android.git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=linaro/build-configs.git;a=summary
was created to store configs for the official builds in the Gerrit tree.

Sample job is available here:
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~pfalcon/git-build-config/ (it
uses personal repo as a test).



That's a great feature ...

I see a dev now could retrieve that config from git to then reproduce an exact build using the same configs and toolchain etc. What kind of tools can we offer to make that easy?
