[1] you'll need to reference archive.org to find the conversation. tsvetan's disdain is very very clear. and he also, just as clearly, doesn't actually answer the question. > According to them, you were complaining that they hadn't released the source > early enough, because they hadn't written a tutorial of how to build as soon > as they released the images. i don't believe it (but i could be wrong - i often am). allwinner hadn't actually released the source of the proprietary boot0 bootloader back then, and things were a total mess. i've yet to reply but paul might actually be right about git.rhombus-tech.net because it might contain (for example) libnand. i *think* on review of the code i did go "i ain't frickin well putting *that* in the git repo" but i'll have to double-check. it was a long time ago. > Though I guess it is unclear as to what > actually happened back then.
