Static Updater Resource for LineageOS OTA updates

This repository works as a static resource for the LineageOS Updater app for the specific builds provided within this organization.

Branch 'changelog'

Here, plain test files with the naming convention <device_name>_changelog.md (example: hotdog_changelog.md) are stored and filled to provide the change log. To make the Updater app of LineageOS show this file instead of the original location used by LineageOS, the string menu_changelog_url needs to be overlaid with the "raw" view of the file.

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:xliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">

    <string name="menu_changelog_url" translatable="false">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lin19-microG/OTA/changelog/hotdog_changelog.md</string>

</resources>

Branch 'lineage-19.1'

Right now empty, but once such builds are regularly provided from here (e.g. because a specific device would not be offered by LineageOS originally), the respective device .json files will be created here. Documentation please see in next section.

Branch 'lin-19.1-microG'

Json files of the naming <device_name>.json (example: hotdog.json) are stored here to tell the Updater app from where to fetch the updates. To make this work, the system property lineage.updater.uri needs to be set as follows: lineage.updater.uri=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lin19-microG/OTA/lin-19.1-microG/$(LINEAGE_BUILD).json

See e.g. this commit: https://github.com/lin19-microG/android_vendor_lineage/commit/ae0f70031e2d34550bbcb68e1be310f6e9ab9a2e

The file format and contents are documented in the README of the android_packages_apps_Updater repository in the LineageOS org.
