i have been wondering why always two versions are released at the same time. what kind of users are expected to use 4.5, and what kind of users are expected to use 4.6? my another question is whether we have a policy to maintain old realease. for example, in case1105 has some bugs, is it possible linato toolchain team fix those bugs in the old version later. many users are using old version with bugs, if they move to new version directly, new feature maybe import new bugs. so people maybe want to use old version with bug fixes, but without new features. > created by the Toolchain Working Group. > * Linaro Kernel 2011.05-2.6.38, the first source tarball release of Linux > Linaro done by the Kernel Working Group. > * Linaro Evaluation Builds (LEBs) for Android and Ubuntu on PandaBoard with > 3D graphics acceleration. > * Android cross toolchain based on latest gcc-linaro and gdb-linaro > * Host development tools (cross compiler, image builders) readily integrated > for the Ubuntu distribution users (Lucid, Maverick and Natty support). > * And many more... > > Using the Android-based images > ============================== > > The Android-based images come in three parts: system, userdata and boot. > These need to be combined to form a complete Android install.
