Hello Everyone, I was supposed to integrate `bootstrap-init` and `sar-preinit` into SharkBait this week. I couldn't quite do that. `bootstrap-init` was initially cross-compiled for aarch64 using NDK. So the first job was to get rid of NDK and use a different "build-system". I opted for CMake and ported the project to use it [1]. But the binary compiled by CMake on my phone (arm64 Gentoo), would not boot Android. The build rules can be inspected on [1]. I believe this is because of the fact that I am not using a Bionic based toolchain. So, I started working on building such a toolchain mid-week. And this is where my current task starts coinciding with my next scheduled task of providing a aarch64-linux-android toolchain where we build Bionic as well. The crux of this task was already performed by KireinaHoro in his GSoC [2]. Since my next scheduled task is required to be finished for my current task, I propose to merge `bootstrap-init` along with `sar-preinit` together later in the SharkBait workflow. And to cover the installing process for users right now, I will write a blog and post it on [3] within 24 hours of writing this mail. The blog will provide a guide on assembling the components required for System-As-Root based Android devices and installing SharkBaitOS. Keep in mind that this process will indeed be simplified for the user later. And I propose to edit SharkBait's official wiki later in my GSoC tenure explaining the simplified procedure to end-users and porters.
