Hi Julien, agreed, though rather than being non-free the issue is more of being opaque as we shouldn't trust what's inside. There's documentation on how to build one based on Lineage OS. [1] Do you think if LineageOS would build the Waydroid image as another device it would be acceptable for Guix to download the artifact directly? [2] Also how's the bionic library going?

I managed to get a working cross-compiler for x86_64-linux-android, and I managed to cross-build a couple libraries. I'm hopeful I'll be able to build bionic (android's libc) by the end of the week, then a complete cross toolchain that will help build the rest of the system. > > Le 1 novembre 2022 07:51:17 GMT+01:00, Liliana Marie Prikler a écrit : > >> Am Montag, dem 31.10.2022 um 19:30 +0000 schrieb phodina: >> >>> Regarding the Waydroid (Android) image. >>> >>> We are currently unable to build the whole image due to the issues >>> >>> summarized by Julien Lepiller on the 10 Years of Guix.
