Shinobi

An incremental AOSP build tool using Nix dynamic derivations

Starting with AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and other ninja-based projects, Shinobi aims to offer a common platform - standalone or as a part of wider ecosystem collaboration - for Nix tools looking to provide granular, incremental, reproducible and distributed builds for their respective language ecosystems, by leveraging the up and coming dynamic derivations feature and aiming to prove it at scale.
