It's read-only, but in-place to allow to reproduce our older releases
(which have manifests pointing to the old location). We "broke" it (made
inaccessible) for couple of days immediately after transition to draw
attention and catch not updated builds/manifests quicker, but then it
was put back into place. Alexander Sack was in loop on this process.

So, it's indeed a bit of dilemma - either we suddenly break older
releases for people, or risk them dealing with stale code. Well,
preserving releases and doing friendly reminders for some time seems
like good compromise, and if there're better ideas, let's discuss them.
(Need to make a post on Linaro blog actually, just need to figure out
how to do that.)

yeah, we did that for a couple of days ( i think a week); at the point we
said we probably catched most (important) consumers and decided to bring
back the old URLs, to make instructions of past releases etc to work again.

We will keep reminding in announcements for a while though.

Will the old checkout break if you try and update it? If not, maybe we
should make it break so people are aware of the tree moving around.

And another quick reminder just in case somebody missed it before -
Linaro Android tree has moved to http://android.git.linaro.org/ , so if
you're still using old checkout, this is good timing to do fresh
checkout for 2.3.5 upgrade.

https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/GetSource has more info, as
usual.

Announcement:Linaro Android 2.3.5

2011-08-17 Thread Patrik Ryd
Hi,

Linaro Android has now moved up to 2.3.5.

The daily builds (https://android-build.linaro.org/index) are now
based on the linaro_android_2.3.5 branch of the manifest.

Please rebase any dev_branches you have to 2.3.5. The
linaro_android_2.3.4 branch will no longer be supported.

Regards
Patrik
