Build error with docker and new aXX branch naming: DEVICE_LIST_... invalid variable name

Using /e/OS Build /e/OS
1

I am following the build-e documentation.
Step 6. Start build, I tried BRANCH_NAME=v3.0.1-a14, which results in

/root/build.sh: line 46: DEVICE_LIST_V3.0.1-A14: invalid variable name
/root/build.sh: line 85: DEVICE_LIST_V3.0.1-A14: invalid variable name

v3.0.1-t and v3.0.1-s don’t have this issue.

build-community.sh#L44 · master · e / os / docker-lineage-cicd · GitLab doesn’t support numbers in the branch name of the tag, sed fails silently, same line 83.

For reference, another post had this error with v2.8-a14, “1st go with the documentation and failing” (can’t add a 3rd link)

Hello @jigsaw, Welcome to the /e/ forum.

if you want latest / current branch (master) you can try using “v1-a14” or “v1-u”

also if you want to use tag, you may try “v3.0.1-u” that is equivalent to “v3.0.1-a14” witch is the new convention (you could get the same error)

hope this trick helps

Thanks!
v1-a14 has the same issue.
I don’t see v3.0.1-u nor v1-u in releases/-/tags. The last release with -u is v2.7-u.
If I try anyway:

...
Running: yes | repo init -u ... -b "v3.0.1-u"
ERROR: Failed to initilize repository

v1-u is syncing. I will update on it.

I will take a look at the repo sync too.

looking at e / os / android · GitLab i understand new convention for BRANCH_NAME is now simply a14 and no more v1-u or v1-a14
look like “v” is now only use for tags

To initialize your local repository using the /e/ trees, use either a tag (you now what you get) or a branch (the latest code of a branch):

repo init -u https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/android.git -b refs/tags/<tag>
or
repo init -u https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/android.git -b <branch>

old :
repo init -u https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/android.git -b refs/tags/v0.9.4-pie
repo init -u https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/android.git -b v1-pie
new : 
repo init -u https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/android.git -b refs/tags/v3.0.1-a14 --git-lfs
repo init -u https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/android.git -b a14 --git-lfs
