Eh? snapshots has more than just the ubuntu desktop images -- it has nano, alip, hwpacks and all the rest. I think calling it "ubuntu-build" would be rather confusing...
These images are all Ubuntu based images.
Yes, technically they're all based on Ubuntu, but I don't think that most people who use the nano image (say) think of it as primarily an "ubuntu image". Maybe I'm wrong...
I think Peter is probably right, but somehow we need to resolve the issue that snapshots /only/ contains Ubuntu-based stuff at the moment (or, put differently, nothing Android-related).
Is this policy or just implementation?
I could see at some point in the very near future especially with the absurdly small images that things might be less than "ubuntu" based... take a system which is nothing more than busybox as a for instance.
I certainly haven't specified such a policy, and I dislike anything we do that makes Android look like a weird Linux stepchild ;-) But ultimately this is Alexander's call, I think.
