È tempo di novità per il Team Carbon ROM e la prima di queste è la frequenza di rilascio per la propria ROM.
Solitamente il rilascio avveniva in forma nightly ovvero ogni giorno veniva pubblicata una build (come avviene per la Cyanogenmod), tutto questo però sta per cambiare a causa dell’eccessivo consumo dei server per poter compilare le rom. Per ogni device, infatti, verranno pubblicate “soltanto” due versioni alla settimana, avvicinandosi così allo stesso metodo di rilascio di Paranoid e Slimrom che rilasciano una volta a settimana.

Changes…
There’s going to be a few changes coming to Carbon in the coming weeks and months. The most immediate change is going to be in the build schedule.
Bottom line, we’re killing ourselves building nightlies. I picked up a kill-a-watt and attached it to my build server. In one day it sucked down 9 kwh. Multiply that times 31 days and all the other servers in our Jenkins farm, and we’re talking about a lot of power and a lot of money coming out of our people’s pockets. This is a labor of love, and not all of us can afford this sort of thing.
So moving forward, builds will be transitioning to a staggered schedule. Every device will be built twice a week. We know – you love nightlies. Remember, anyone can sync and build Carbon on their own machines. It’s easy and the instructions can be found at https://github.com/CarbonDev/android. You’ll need to setup a build environment using one of the many guides found online first, but once that’s done, it’s a snap to build the latest code.
More changes coming soon – we hope you like them!
