Notes:
[pfalcon 2011-11-08] Please retarget this to linaro-android-infrastructure project
[mansson 2011-10-28] This is a continuation of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+spec/linaro-android-prototype-seeded-build
[pfalcon 2011-11-18] Look at https://android-build.linaro.org/jenkins/job/pfalcon_aosp-2.3.7/1/ : it is a pristine AOSP 2.3.7 build run against panda linaro_android_2.3.5 manifest. And it seems to work largely!
[pfalcon 2011-11-23] Docs are at https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/SeededBuilds
[pfalcon 2011-11-23] Further work: decide which manifest to use for "full production" seed. Ideally, prepare special manifests which pulls in all boards' kernels (that's known to coincide with work Zach had in plans). Prepare and start to use such new seed. Prepare process and scripts to keep it updated. Automate such process.

Headline:
An evaluation of the experimental Android platform build using seed tarball of repository is done.

Acceptance:
At least one seeded build succeeded and results evaluated in a report with recommendations.
