Android 2.3.6 has been mentioned on the Android google groups. Some people managed to get it just before kernel.org went offline. When it is release in public the official Linaro Android builds should be based on 2.3.6.

Whiteboard

Notes:
[pfefferz 2011/10/18] Blocked until AOSP is back up.
[dzin, 2011/10/28] With impending release of AOSP 4, this blueprint loses its relevance. Moving to backlog so it can be discussed further.
[dzin, 2011/11/07] Replaced 2.3.6 with 2.3.7 on the whiteboard
[patrik-ryd, 2011/11/07] waiting for 2.3.7 to arrive at android.git.linaro.org
[patrik-ryd, 2011/11/11] Merged all gits with 2.3.5 branches. After adding the patch "Replace -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 with -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE." to build.git 2.37 was buildt locally. Will test it on target on Monady.
[patrik-ryd, 2011/11/14] Trying to get the panda to boot. More details in progress can be found athttps://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/Builds/Wip/upgrade_to_2.3.7
[patrik-ryd, 2011/11/17] Panda boots and have run 0xbench. bero reports that works
[patrik-ryd, 2011/11/17] BLOCKED by bug #891595
[patrik-ryd, 2011/11/17] All 2.3.7 branches are now in sync with 2.3.5 branches. I'm ready to move over 2.3.7 on the upstream build when the patches are review and the bug that causes / to disappear in the build is fixed.
[patrik-ryd, 2011/11/18] The builds finally work again. Not blocked anymore, but the only realistic result for this BP is to move the staging panda to 2.3.7 for this release and ignore the rest.
[2011-11-22 patrik-ryd] All builds were moved to 2.3.7 during the chaos last Friday. :) I recommend we set this one to done since all the run 0xbench item will be done anyway during the test of RC2.
[pfefferz 2011/11/22] Patrik to file a BP make sure everything's insync on:
~linaro-android/beagle on beagle and beagle xM
~linaro-android/panda on Panda and 4460
~linaro-android/staging-panda on Panda and 4460
~linaro-android/tracking-panda on Panda and 4460
~linaro-android/staging-snowball
~linaro-android/landing-snowball
~linaro-android/staging-imx53
~linaro-android/staging-origen
~linaro-android/staging-vexpress-a9
We'll make a 11.12 RC release and track the tests through the spreadsheet

Headline:
Linaro's baseline has now been upgraded to 2.3.7.

Acceptance:
All gits upgraded to 2.3.7.
