releases VS android-prepare-vendor

Barbet should be in 11, you can see the tag android-11.0.0_r42: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest/+/refs/tags/android-11.0.0_r42/default.xml#59. The part it's failing on here is parsing the latest.json file which by default points at: https://github.com/RattlesnakeOS/releases/blob/11.0/latest.json and this doesn't have the barbet device entry in there.

Answered this in our Matrix room, but just to share here as well, the new replacement repo is here (https://github.com/RattlesnakeOS/releases) and used from v11.0.7 onwards. The old repo is deprecated.

* new: add support for custom config repos and deprecate old customization methods (custom-patches, custom-manifest-remotes, custom-manifest-projects, custom-prebuilts). see the updated section in the readme to learn more about custom config repos and how to use them. * new: also add support for core config repos that can be used to build an OS with plain AOSP rather than using the default RattlesnakeOS core. * new: add support for Pixel 4a 5G. * deprecate: Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are no longer supported * deprecate: encrypted-keys option (for now) to reduce build script complexity * deprecate: hosts-file (can be added in custom config repo) * move version checking to lambda function and base everything on a 'release' now rather than individual components, and add version pinning of core components. releases url is by default here https://github.com/RattlesnakeOS/releases, but is also configurable now. * move templates out into individual files with new go embed functionality and move rendering of these to it's own function * start breaking apart shell script into generic raw shell script (that can be shellchecked) and the more dynamic pieces that would change across clouds * have lambda function poll and wait for a spot instance to launch rather than immediately returning success * change from building fdroid to using prebuilt (https://github.com/RattlesnakeOS/platform_prebuilts_fdroid) and use the default privileged extensions without any changes * add an option to disable building Chromium (should provide your own webview with customizations in this case) * add option to disable cron by setting schedule to empty string * for deploy command add --dry-run flag that will just render the files to disk * automatically backup config file to s3 bucket * move to using gp3 storage for build instances and bump to 300gb of storage * cleanup makefile, add shellcheck, add tests * upgrade to ubuntu 20.04 AMI * move to go 1.16 * move to aws go v2 sdk * update readme

The developer of GrapheneOS is openly hostile to other similar projects (https://github.com/bromite/bromite/issues/2141 and https://github.com/AOSPAlliance/android-prepare-vendor/issue... are concrete examples). He's done things like relicensing one of his repos to GPLv2-only because a project he had a dispute with is GPLv3-or-later, and that way they can't use his code anymore, but he still gets to call his project FOSS.

Strcat has a long history of these disputes. Most recently he requested the AOSP Alliance also stop using "his" code.

This was due to a sabotage from the GrapheneOS project. See: https://github.com/AOSPAlliance/android-prepare-vendor/issues/78
