<p>The operating system source tree includes hundreds of repositories. Many of these
|
||||
are only used for debugging, testing or development and are not actually part of what
|
||||
gets used for building a production release. The manifest repository references all of
|
||||
these. Most of these are used unmodified from the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
|
||||
A few dozen of the repositories including most of the core OS are either forked from
|
||||
AOSP or are unique to GrapheneOS.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The operating system has a unified build system, but some components like
|
||||
Chromium are too complex to fit into it so they're included as prebuilts instead
|
||||
of porting them to the AOSP build system. This is also done for developer
|
||||
convenience and bootstrapping, to avoid needing to build all the native /
|
||||
cross-compilation toolchains for each host and target platform combination, etc.
|
||||
The prebuilts can all be built from source if desired. The build instructions will
|
||||
be expanded to cover all of this in the future.</p>
