One of the main reasons I bought a FP2 is because Fairphone is one of the few vendors to support and maintain an own Open Source Android OS. So I am quite disappointed that it is not as easy to build from source than I imagined.
When I follow the official build instructions, I can see no tags for the 17.09 release, only “fp2-sibon-17.08.1.1”.
Also, the latest commit on the Kernels fp2-sibon Branch seems to be from March, but I think at least for fixing the BlueBorne issue there has to be newer changes?
I am also confused because the build instructions only mention the “fp2-sibon” branch, but in the Git repos I can see a branch named “fp2-m-sibon”, which has some newer changes. What is it for?
Fairphone Devs, please always publish the Fairphone Open OS source code simultaneously with the builds! Thanks
This happens to be a user-forum, that is not maintained by Fairphone.
Therefore the best way to get first-hand information is to contact Fairphone support right away: Here’s the page with the number
But maybe some developer of FP-Open in this forum already has the information you desire.
Thanks for the hint @BertG. I was hoping though that Fairphone Devs are also reading this forum, after all they are users, too. Or at least I do hope so
Anyhow, if I do not get an answer here, I will instead try the channel you suggested.
Good question. I would like to know that as well and I can imagine others do too. Maybe @anon12454812 or @Douwe can help us out or nudge the right persons an Fairphone HQ?
