I've seen the patches being sent -- that provides what Brian or Andy needs, but that doesn't help any of us. If I wanted to figure out what you built in one of the images on your web site, I would have to monitor all the lists (which I do), and carefully pick each and every patch you send, sort out which ones have been replaced, and apply them to my repository, one by one. Clearly you can see that would be VERY error-prone; it would be very unlikely that any two people doing that would actually end up with the same set of sources that you have. Using git (or any other SCM tool), it's really very simple to generate the diffs from some baseline: $ git diff > my-latest-set-of-stuff.patch Please consider at least telling us what baseline you use for the kernel, and for the Android sources, and providing that giant patch file -- if you don't have the time or inclination to update a public git repo with your changes, I expect any of us in the community can do that for you. But to be honest, you really sound like you are reluctant to work with the community in providing your sources. That's a real shame, as your work has gotten us farther along with Android than anyone else has. Like some of the others one this list, I am reluctant to work with binary images for which I cannot see source code (if I want to do that I can buy a Windows Mobile cell phone). But I'm afraid I just can't accept that I should monitor the patches flying by multiple email lists and sort them myself in order to get that source code. :( Please work with us. -Mike (mwester) _______________________________________________ android-freerunner mailing list [email protected] http://android.koolu.org/listinfo.cgi/android-freerunner-koolu.org
