modified checkNexus.sh as checkNexusNewer.sh to add only Marshmallow … #18

…images and only add images for devices which we've already added

Haul22 commented 8 years ago

The checkNexus.sh script as two main problems: 1) It adds really old images like ICS and Jelly Bean. 2) It adds old EOL devices which don't even have Marshmallow images available, such as the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus.

I've modified your checkNexus.sh script to add images only if a device is already in the repository, and only if the image is Marshmallow (by checking if the "release" starts with an M).

I've tested the output of the new checkNexusNewer.sh script and it produced these files:

These files include today's security updates as well as about 30 older Marshmallow images. This newer script would make it easier to generate new image files in the future, at the cost of adding a bunch of older images.

Given that Android build numbers aren't always alphanumerically increased (e.g. MHC19I can be newer than MMB29V despite coming earlier in the alphabet), it is difficult to automatically determine what the newest available build is. This new script seems like a godo compromise.

Closing this. I'll submit a replacement soon.
