#2Please don't sync yet, it's currently in a mixed state. The 'repo for-all git push' is still running and will take some time to complete, so if you sync now you'll get some parts with Gingerbread and some parts with ICS.

(If you accidentally post something twice, be careful about deleting one. The other one may be automatically killed, but you don't see it when your posts are killed.)

#5Why is Chris DiBona's comment in this thread dead? What he said is "from the horse's mouth", i.e. Google Open Source.

P.S. Chris, you have http://dibona.com in your HN profile, but it just redirects.

#6In the past, I've spent a fair bit of time criticizing Google for calling Android "open source", but not releasing the source. Now that it appears that they are actually doing it, let me be the first to say that this is great.
Well done, Google.

Is it possible that specific page of documentation has just not been updated yet? The linked thread has Jean-Baptiste Queru stating:
> This release includes the full history of the Android source code tree, which naturally includes all the source code for the Honeycomb releases.

It looks like it happened because he posted the same thing twice in different threads, not because he deleted it.

From Jean-Baptiste Queru's announcement

I gather that the "complete" Honeycomb source is available as part of the git history, but without tags.

I think that link is just outdated, it doesn't mention ICS at all.
The link for this submission says:
"This release includes the full history of the Android source code tree, which naturally includes all the source code for the Honeycomb releases. However, since Honeycomb was a little incomplete, we want everyone to focus on Ice Cream Sandwich. So, we haven't created any tags that correspond to the Honeycomb releases (even though the changes are present in the history.)"
