android-system-gsi-28-bin
=========================

This package ships a pre-built Android 9 GSI (Generic System Image)
so that the Halium initramfs can pick it up during boot.

Why does it matter?
-------------------

Shipping the system image as a package allows to bundle it directly
during rootfs creation.
This essentially removes the need to download a suitable system image
manually.

Furthermore, updates can be then supplied via APT as standard Debian
packages.

Can the system image be overridden?
-----------------------------------

Yes, if you put your `android-rootfs.img` image in /userdata as you
usually would with halium9, you're good to go.

Is this image a prebuilt?
-------------------------

Yes, it is, hence the `-bin` part. Eventually we'll build our own GSI
image as well (preferably in a Debian buildd environment).

This image is downloaded by the [UBPorts CI Server](https://ci.ubports.com/job/UBportsCommunityPortsJenkinsCI/job/ubports%252Fcommunity-ports%252Fjenkins-ci%252Fgeneric_arm64/job/main/),
so huge thanks to them for having built that for us to enjoy (and for being
generally awesome!)
