Awhile back, I mentioned that my bandwidth was being consumed by a few bad actors out there who are scraping the entire LineageOS build repository.
This is still happening. It’s been especially bad over the past week.
I’ve been null-routing entire networks in an attempt to keep the service running while preventing jerks from hoovering the entire repo. It’s turned into a game of whack-a-mole, and honestly, providing this service isn’t worth the cycles I’m burning keeping things running for an indifferent “community”.
As of today, the LineageOS build service has been discontinued.
My build script is at https://www.disavowed.jp/lineageos/build-lineage.sh for those who need security updates for their devices.
I’m very sorry to have to do this. I’m especially sorry towards the eight people who have donated over the past few years to support this service. This is why humans can’t have nice things.
I want to say thank you for your work. Since I am a big fan of old moto phone generations, your builds always were a solid Android for daily drivers.
I’m pretty sorry that some fools out there destroy so much good work just for fun. This is unnecessary. I sometimes don’t understand those things going on in the world.
I always appreciated your work!
Sincerely, Kerstin from Germany 🙂
I very much agree with Kerstin. Chris – thank you very much for your excellent series of builds of LOS 14.1 for nexus 5. Now I need to build them myself – so far my attempts have failed when I use the “default” instructions on https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/hammerhead/build , and I am trying to see how I can adapt your script “build-lineage.sh”
I gave up trying to build for nexus 5, but I’ve successfully installed z3DD3r’s 17.1 binary on it [https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-unofficial-lineageos-17-1-for-nexus-5-hammerhead.4039273/], so there’s hope for this device yet …
Thanks, Chris, for your hard work. Nexus 7 (deb) user here, wishing you all the best
Thank you for your work over the past few years, and for the script – it’s helped me learn how to build it for myself. Sorry it had to come to this, but you’ve done more than your fair share of work for the community. Take it easy!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR BUILDINGS FOR MY MOTO X PLAY LUX
GREETINGS FROM LIMA, PERU
MUCHAS GRACIAS POR TUS COMPILACIONES PARA MI MOTO X PLAY LUX
SALUDOS DESDE LIMA-PERÚ
I’ve been using your athene builds for more than a year without a problem. I’m sorry to hear that you’re retiring your repository, but I completely understand and feel grateful for your service.
Have a good.one!
