Finally, <a href="http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-android/2012-January/000295.html">Zach proposed a new naming scheme</a> on the <a href="http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-android">linaro android mailing list</a>. I like the way it ensures that people understand the main ingredients of how our builds are cooked at a quick glance, but I only see this as a first step!</p> <p>First step only, because the name can only give information about the main/biggest components integrated and obviously cannot give a complete list all components changed and used to cook our builds. This means: even after this, we have to continue our effort to improve the documentation shipped side-by-side with our build and release artifacts.</p> <p>If you have feedback on top of what was discussed in that thread, talk to pfefferz on irc.freenode.net or reply here or to the mailing list post:</p> <ul><li><a href="http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-android/2012-January/000295.html">http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-android/2012-January/000295.html</a></li> </ul>http://asac.ws/post/16815183050http://asac.ws/post/16815183050Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:01:44 +0100androidbuildnamesleblinaro
