Android Toolchain packages use the concept of release builds now to distinguish builds used for developing vs. those for deleting. This allows the Linaro Platform Team to better tune retention policies around release vs. developer builds.
Acceptance:
All 11.08 builds are built using a Android Toolchain coming from a release build/branch. validate that retention policy for the toolchain release builds is "infinite keep".
"Daily" (actually, manually so far) builds of gcc-linaro release against android toolchain linaro-master branch:
