Thank you Philip, Very interesting project.. however I have learned that Android sources are not available any more... On Aug 25, 2011 kernel folks and others celebrated Happy 20th Birthday of Linux. and on 28th August kernel.org servers were hacked. Android sources still are not available today. https://www.linuxfoundation.org/news-media/blogs/browse/2011/08/cracking-kernelorg What we can find today is just some random clones of official git repo: (I call it official since it was not changed here: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html) https://github.com/android -- Gregory Smirnov Software Engineer 2X Software - http://www.2x.com Developers of virtual computing software 2X ApplicationServer XG – 2X Clients _______________________________________________ MLUG-list mailing list [email protected] http://linux.org.mt/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-list
