I am trying to get a picture of the branching strategy you are using. I can now see an android-1.5 branch (and a tag) is it the end result of cupcake merged to master (HEAD?) and re- branched? assuming the development branch will switch regularly as in the case from cupcake to android-1.5, is it easy to move from one branch to another in repo/git checkout? (I am mostly familiar to CVS terminology, I probably am not refering to correct repo commands)
just to make sure : is android-1.5 the latest development branch to follow? I am mostly interested in OpenCORE and it seems to be moving forward quite rapidly so I need to stay close to it. thanks -arcin On Apr 15, 3:51 pm, Jean-Baptiste Queru <j...@android.com> wrote: > Technically, if you download it with repo sync (which is the preferred > method), you'll actually have all versions on your machine. > > Any of the branches (release-1.0, cupcake, master) can build the > entire system, but you'll get different versions.
