Hi,
I have updated the replicant variants of our source tree

4.10.5 -> 4.14.129			http://git.goldelico.com/?p=letux-kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/letux-4.14.129-replicant
work/josua/android-4.17 -> 4.19.56	http://git.goldelico.com/?p=letux-kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/letux-4.19.56-replicant

There were only minor merge conflicts, mostly in Kconfig and Makefile.
Only the two patches for the lowmemorykiller did not apply on 4.19.56, so they are missing:

http://git.goldelico.com/?p=letux-kernel.git;a=commit;h=fbc6ce18694bf8c255525327674598e5ed3b9ced
http://git.goldelico.com/?p=letux-kernel.git;a=commit;h=6c77d5cea4464c40dcfa382e096252c3cafae1b7

I have not been able to really test these kernels but we should continue fixing them because those are now long-term kernels.

So we should update the manifest files to point to these branches.

What I am not exactly sure about is if we should include the full version number in the branch name, i.e. "letux-4.19.56-replicant" which
means we will create newer and newer branches with different names over the time and have to make the manifest track that. This more or less treats git branches like git tags (and is not more resource hungry).

Or if we should have a single branch "letux-4.19-replicant" where we merge in future branches.
This makes the manifest more stable, but makes it more difficult to locate older versions if something gets suddenly broken.

BR,
Nikolaus
