Script for building DD image - I hate 18GB zip files!

[jonsmirl]

I've been trying to build Android for several days now without success.  I can build the kernel and I can build Android. What I can't do is assemble an image that will boot.  Does anyone have a script that will assemble the parts into a DD image? Currently I am using the Allwinner pack command with PhoenixCard and that is not making an image that will boot. There is something wrong with the ext2 partitions. Kernel starts but user space fails.

Also - could the Pine64 people please take a new snapshot of their Android source and this time use tar.gz on it instead of zip so that it preserves the files permissions? I had to hunt around and find a hundred files and set +x back on them. Get rid of those zip files and replace them with tar.gz.

Building Android would be so much easier if we just has access to delta repositories that overlay ASOP.

Or push a working build up to www.gitlab.com (not GitHub). GitLab will accept repos the size of Android. Heck, just do this to get rid of the bandwidth load on your own servers. Or I can push it up once I have working build. I uploaded the RK3128 tree a while ago. https://gitlab.com/jonsmirl/fireprime

No one is going to work on this code if it is impossible to build it.

I pretty much gave up on building a working image based on the provided SDK with broken file permission, no working config and no proper git repository. I guess by now that it would be easier to make a fresh port than trying to use the SDK...
