Hello,
Further update on Gerrit assimilation:
- LEB-panda build was fixed.
- Our previous Android component forks were synced with upstream
(need to have extra pass on this to make sure nothing is missed). 3. Old tree is back at git.linaro.org/android/ 4. Android team is well under way on setting Gerrit-based workflow.
Forgot big thing - it's important that Gerrit logins happened using "https://login.launchpad.net" SSO OpenID and there was no other OpenID identities were attached to your account (including no "https://launchpad.net/~<username>"). Please update instructions at https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/Gerrit#Creating_Gerrit_Account on how to check/fix this.
Thanks, Paul

Hello,
Linaro Android codebase migration to Gerrit, which was announced at Linaro Connect, happened today. From now, Linaro Android is available via:
http://android.git.linaro.org/
Accompanied by Gerrit frontend at:
http://review.android.git.linaro.org/
It is recommended to perform a fresh checkout of the tree. To do that, run:
repo init -u git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/manifest.git \ -b <branch> \ -m <manifest>
<branch> and <manifest> are those you used before. E.g.
repo init -u git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/manifest.git \ -b linaro_android_2.3.4 \ -m default.xml
The official Linaro builds at https://android-build.linaro.org/ were converted to use new manifest location, and I'd like to ask other developers to convert their personal builds (I'm not trying to automate this so far, to make that everyone was in loop on what changed and how). To update, just change in a build config:
MANIFEST_REPO=git://git.linaro.org/android/platform/manifest.git
to
MANIFEST_REPO=git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/manifest.git
Old tree (git.linaro.org/android/*) was made inaccessible for the time being to help with updating all references to it. It should be back up shortly in read-only mode. (If there're immediate concerns, it's at git.linaro.org/android-old/ now and can be renamed back by anyone with git.linaro.org access).
With the spirit of making one change at time, all developers still should have permissions similar to what they had before: anyone can still create branches and push changes directly to them (*1). However, once we finish updating build configs and docs for new tree location, the next step will be setting up a workflow based on mandatory code review, so I'd like to invite all developers to practice that right away. Details on how to submit change for review are given at https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/Gerrit (in particular, repo upload works now).
(*1) The remote for such commits is different now of course, like this: ssh://pfalcon@android.git.linaro.org:29418/platform/build . Replace "pfalcon" with you gerrit username and platform/build is the component you need.
Please share any issues, concerns, and questions you may have related to this migration.
