  • New Pixel 5a
    3 projects | /r/RattlesnakeOS | 26 Aug 2021
    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.
  • Mar 2021 Update and v11.0.7
    4 projects | /r/RattlesnakeOS | 1 Mar 2021
    * 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

    Thanks for the response! So in this new model, custom patches would be moved into the hook shell scripts and could be applied at various stages of the build process. The hook shell scripts that execute can really do whatever, but an example of installing a patch from the community patches can be seen here: https://github.com/RattlesnakeOS/example-custom-config-repo/blob/HEAD/hooks/aosp_build_pre.sh#L9. In this case the patches are applied prior to the AOSP build starting (aosp_build_pre). This could obviously be simplified a bit more, but this would be the current migration path.
