Hey guys, sorry if this is an obvious question.
I'm trying to get my facts straight on the various CyanogenMod builds.
1.) First, what is going on with Official CyanogenMod and HD2/Leo? Are we in the process of transitioning to "Experimental" (a la the Galaxy S)? There is HD2 specific code in the github repository, but no official support? From reading the "unofficial nightly" thread, it sounds like certain steps are being taken to ensure the HD2 code is in compliance with various programming practices required by CyanogenMod devs? Is this explanation anywhere close to the current state of things? Will the HD2 eventually get a subforum with Experimental (and eventually Stable) downloads in the CM forums? Or, as others have said, will our WinMo base prevent official support from ever happening?
2.) Just to confirm -- the unofficial nightly build is more of an actual "from the ground up" build, whereas the other ROMs are derivatives of other builds? Is there any easy explanation of the differences that someone with some slight programming exposure might understand?
Thanks in advance for any advice you might have to offer.
EDIT: P.S. Please don't take this as "Why don't we have .... yet?" whining. I'm just trying to wrap my head around the whole AOSP/Cyanogenmod issue.
