I'm just curious to know if there is any information on if and when
the Android team at Google will be moving to Ubuntu 12.04 as base
environment?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Johan
I'm guessing that there's a possibility that the next Android release
(the J release) will have been developed primarily under 10.04 but
will be buildable under 12.04. That way, we won't have to switch our
workstations in the middle of development, but we'll be able to switch
as soon as the bulk of the J work is done and keep the ability to work
on that release for maintenance.
We're aware that Ubuntu only supports overlapping desktop LTS releases
for 1 year at a time, which is actually quite short now that the
Android release schedule has been slowing down, and that's why we're
keeping a close eye on things.

Questions sent directly to me that have no reason for being private
will likely get ignored or forwarded to a public forum with no further
warning.
That being said, I can't really speculate on when or how long we will
support building on it.

Dear Jean-Baptiste, et al.,
I know this thread is old, but it's not really resolved yet. In this day and age, it is irresponsible to operate on and "end-of-life" platform.
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Desktop is no longer supported by Canonical after May 9, 2013: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2013-March/000169.html .
This may put people that care about running a supportable OS in uncomfortable positions such as having to "wrap" a supportable 10.04 LTS build environment as a "sand-boxed" Virtual Machine within a supported host OS. What a nightmare!
Please tell me that AOSP at least has a plan to move beyond Ubuntu 10.04 LTS being the only supported build environment!
Sincerely,
--Pete

That's good news! The documentation web pages and this thread seemed to be a little heavy on the "use 10.04 at your own risk."

JBQ,Thanks for your work. I would like to ask if you could explain what should be done to build older releases on Ubuntu 12.04 (or point in the code where to find these changes). The reason I ask about this is that we have a fork of Android Gingerbread and I want to get it compiled on Ubuntu 12.04.
