Thank you - I had no idea about those scripts.
I expected this step somewhere in make files in build dir.
I downloaded phablet tools and browsed thru python code - still don't see easy
way to do
phablet-whatever ... create zip
I know about phablet tools only what's available on UT wiki and there is not
much...
I guess it will be faster to write some script to do that.
My problem is that there are NO zip files created in my out directory - only
img.
according to wiki page:
At the end of the build process a zip file will be generated in
out/target/product/<codename>, that you can deploy to the phone through
recovery.
I have 3 different environments - and there are some different build ptoblems I
am trying to sort out.
I am using "official" mako device source without any changes whatsoever.
Probably missing something - but what?
Thanks for your help.
-Ivo
