hello,

out if curiosity, has somebody manage to built a community edition of Sailfish OS using the latest "Baseport 8" abstraction layer (like the one they use on Xperia XA2) atop of the current kernel 4.4 that Sony provides for AOSP 8.1 Oreo for the Xperia X ?
(or even the upcoming kernel 4.9 that is currently in beta at Sony and could go all.the way uo to AOSP 9 Pie)

that's even more interesting recently:
- that's not only a newer kernel that would fix some bugs.
- this is also the abstraction layer required to be running the new Android 8.1 compatibility layer ( and which the current 3.10 kernel for Android 6.0.1 used in the current abatraction layer obviously can't run)
