Wow. I hope that was sarcasm. As a last resort, you can host your own
git mirror for the kernel repository.
local_manifest.xml is your friend. I've been using it to "mirror and
extend" certain git repositories for my research. It works very similar
to the building for dream instructions
(http://source.android.com/documentation/building-for-dream) except you
specify your own "remote" attribute.
For example, you could do:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote name="freescale"
fetch="<git_url>" />
<remove-project name="kernel/common"/>
<project path="kernel" remote="freescale" name="kernel/imx" />
</manifest>
I use this technique mainly for an SSH git URL (to share our research
changes without mirroring the entire Android code base), but there's no
reason why freescale can't host their own repository to share it with
the public.
That said, not having to mess with a local_manifest.xml for each device
variation is a good thing. Please push your changes upstream if at all
possible.
