[12:01] <neerad> Hi I want to port ubuntu touch to my phone, how to proceed ?
[12:02] <neerad> anybody ????
[12:07] <brunch875> neerad: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/devices/porting-new-device/
[12:08] <neerad> okay
[12:08] <brunch875> good luck!
[12:08] <neerad> Can i use a different branch other than master branch?
[12:08] <neerad> like 6.0.0_r1
[12:10] <brunch875> don't know about that. But why not try the master branch first and once you get that working try with a different branch?
[12:10] <neerad> okay
[12:12] <neerad> also what is the difference b/w ubports and official ubuntu touch
[12:15] <brunch875> you mean what the site ubports.com is?
[12:15] <neerad> yep
[12:16] <brunch875> it's a team of developers which port ubuntu to devices
[12:16] <neerad> okay
[12:16] <neerad> and why does ubuntu relies on android_4.4.2 version for it's building?
[12:17] <brunch875> from what I know, ubuntu relies on whichever version the phone is sold with
[12:17] <neerad> hmmm....
[12:18] <neerad> no I mean manifest.git is showing it phablet-4.4.2_r1
[12:18] <neerad> isn't that android version?
[12:18] <brunch875> there's a difference between phones and computers when it comes to operating systems
[12:19] <brunch875> you see, the drivers of the phone are pretty closed
[12:19] <brunch875> so ubuntu uses those drivers for the device to work
[12:19] <neerad> You mean phablet_4.4.2_r1 ins't same as android-4.4.2_r1?
[12:19] <neerad> okay
[12:19] <neerad> but aren't those drivers old and hasn't had the latest commits
[12:20] <brunch875> they are as old as the manufacturer wants them to stay
[12:20] <neerad> But I want to develop it based on new drivers?
[12:20] <neerad> *!
[12:22] <brunch875> neerad: I do not think porting ubuntu means touching already installed drivers at all
[12:23] <neerad> ohh
[12:23] <brunch875> now, I have no experience porting, so I can only give you limited information
[12:24] <neerad> hey but when I git branch -a it gives me phablet-5.1.1_r36 to phablet-6.0.0z-r1
[12:24] <neerad> doesn't that mean phablet has been updated to the latest commit
[12:24] <neerad> but the default branch is stuck at 4.4.2
[12:24] <brunch875> I have no idea :-)
[12:25] <neerad> oh okay
[14:01] <ginggs> Laney: fyi, ncbi-tools6 (the package that no longer has autopkgtests) has another upload (still without tests)
[14:02] <ginggs> sorry, wrong chan
[19:17] <neerad_> I have downloaded all sources now how to port it for the device?
[19:17] <neerad_> Give me a more detailed info than the guide if anybody has that knowledge
