Does Mokomakefile can build a 2008.8 more recent than the one release on August 08 of 2008 ? I setup the Makefile for OM_GIT_BRANCH := org.openmoko.asu.testing and run make openmoko-qtopia-x11-image Will I have the "fake" asu, like the one on the daily buildhost ? or will I have a 2008.8/ASU ?
if not, how can I build myself a more recent 2008.8/ASU Regards Philippe On Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 4:47 PM, Jay Vaughan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Oh come on.
