Revisiting Q&A: What does Google’s Project Treble do for UBports and Halium?
-
A UBports blog post from Jun 14, 2017 includes the following Q&A:
What does Google’s Project Treble do for UBports and Halium?
Google recently announced “a modular base for Android” to solve the problem of having to backport Android updates to every device seperately. While Treble does sound similar to Haliums approach, it doesn’t eliminate the need for Libhybris, the translation library for Android’s bionic drivers. It remains to be seen if this project will change our life for the better, but since it’s just been announced, we can just continue what we’re doing at the moment for now.
Now that a few phones support Project Treble, has UBports revisited whether Project Treble will be of any help to UBports and Halium? And if so, in brief, what are the current thoughts on this?

For anyone who is interested, Project Treble is discussed starting at about 25:35 in the Ubuntu Touch Q&A 24 video.

Developers are focused in Xenial now but after that, they'll look into Treble. Marius said something along the lines of that in the last Q&A.

Yes, which is why I posted the following:

@gizmochicken yep, I just wanted to make it clear.
