Hi Magnus, As far as background goes, I'm trying to add a new shared library to the Android platform, and I have done this be creating a new folder with the name of my library under the "/external" directory of the android platoform (i.e. /external/mylibrary).
This is what I did to lead up to this point: 1) Checked out the master branch from the android git repository by following the Android documentation: repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git repo sync 2) Created a new directory under /external for my library, so I have the following folder with my library in it: /external/mylibrary 3) Now I am wondering how to add this to the working copy, so that it is recognized by repo, and I am able to submit it to Gerrit for code review.
