malMister_Magister: do you know if there are any maintained ports other than ours using android base < 8?12:49
Mister_Magistermal: well list of maintained ports is not too long so have a look if something pops into your eye http://portslist.verdanditeam.com/?sorting%5Bversion%5D=desc maybe hammerhead or Galaxy Note 4?12:51
Mister_Magisteralso encouragement for you to add the info files :P12:51
maljust thinking about a bluetooth fix (hid devices) if we should add it to generic sparse in which case the file needs to be removed in delete_file.list in port using base < 812:52
malor to all of the sparse-* folder and new folders for 8 and 9 bases12:53
malin which case bases 8 and 9 need to add android_version_major12:53
malmaybe the generic sparse is fine since there are so few old ports12:53
Mister_Magistermaybe i should add android base to the info files for the ports list :P12:54
Mister_Magisterbut even then people like mal refuse to add the info file >:)12:54
malI haven't touched my existing ports in a while12:56
Mister_Magisterit's just one text file in droid-configs thata's it12:56
sharks[m]I think that's a good idea honestly. Would help future porters using similar Android bases as existing ports, eg. how I referenced Miami a bit in developing the LOS22 based Murray port12:56
malmaybe next time when I change something12:56
Mister_Magisteroki12:57
Mister_Magistersharks[m]: will do then when i have a second12:57
sharks[m]Epic, let me know when its done and I'll update the files in my repos.12:58
Mister_Magisteri'm thinking if i could discern android version from obs but I don't think so12:58
Mister_Magisterthere's the android_version_major but only newer ports have it13:00
sharks[m]You could read android_version_major where it exists but it wouldn't differentiate between eg. Lineage or SODP etc.13:00
Mister_Magisterwell i don't intend to differentiate between lineage or aosp or anything else anyway13:01
Mister_Magisterolder ports don't have android_version_major13:01
sharks[m]I think it would be worth including that differentiation, no good referencing Tama if you're trying to port a Samsung device13:02
sharks[m]But its your portslist lol, you don't have to listen to me!13:02
Mister_Magisterlike i don't think there's any benefit, you only use device, kernel, vendor repos no?13:03
sharks[m]Good point, possibly I hadn't thought in depth enough before speaking13:04
