extract-files.sh missing

[parmegv]

Hi,

Why was the extract-files.sh script removed from the repository?

It was done in eff7afd. The commit message is Update device tree to use shield-common, but extract-files.sh has not existed in shield-common since the first commit.

According to the build wiki, the script is kind of vital.

On the other hand, there was a new ROM for this device just 5 days ago. Does that mean that it was not generated out of this repository? Or just that we don't need to extract the proprietary blobs?

Thanks for your work, it really helps me to keep using the tablet :)

Official builds have a special repo with the proprietary binaries stored in them. That way they don't have to have one of every device hooked up to the build server. The extract script is only really used for personal builds.

That sounds nice. Is that repo accessible to everybody? Otherwise, how can we reproduce CM builds?

The repos are available publicly. I have an XML file in my android_resources repo that pulls most if not all the ones with proprietary binaries. Just comment out or delete the ones you dont want.
