Linaro Android Infrastructure

Set up automated syncing with AOSP & other upstreams

Registered by Paul Sokolovsky

We now have complete AOSP mirror in our Gerrit, with Linaro code on top of it. Last thing left is making sure we sync automatically.

Comments:
[20110830 james-w] Paul, when you set something to blocked please add a comment explaining what is blocking it so that others are aware. Thanks.
[pfalcon 2011-09-22] This BP was moved from 11.09 to 11.10 due to kernel.org/AOSP downtime.
[pfalcon 2011-10-24]
Setting up properly functioning mirror is blocked by having overzealous firewall on android.git.linaro.org, not allowing to access dynamically changing upstream host set, as wanted by Android team. This was once reported to IS, but request to open up firewall was rejected. This causes continued delays and waste of effort on setting up mirrors for new and/or changed upstreams. Escalated to the Android Lead, may further escalate to the Platform Lead.
[mansson 2011-10-28] For the above reasons this BP was moved from 11.10 to 11.11.
[dzin 2011/10/28] re-target to 11.11
[pfalcon 2011-11-18] Docs are at https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/GerritMirroring
[dzin 2011-11-23] Almost done, but due to ICS issues with AOSP mirror, this could not be deplyed as a cronjob. Re-target to 11.12

Headline:
Syncing with AOSP and other upstream projects is now automated.

Acceptance:
Syncing with AOSP and other upstream project we mirror is automatically performed with a set interval.
