Then there is still work to do, 14.1 is probably too new Android version to even consider, and also, Sailfish is based on CM. Allthough with some effort LOS should prabably also be possible to getvto work.
We have been using LOS for quite some time now because of CMs demise and there are a number of ports using 14.1 as an Android base.

I was basically refrerring to the HADK documentation, which still references CM as base. So, there is some work in order to use LineageOS. Especially for 'newcomers' - like myself

Thanks for all your inputs and feedback guys.
So if had to start today, should I just follow the HADK ?
All please bear in mind that even though our phone has both LOS 15.1 and 14.1 .. It has an exynos cpu.
Would there be any difficulty in porting ?
I assume it shouldn't as the kernel and drivers are already up and running for our devices.

Will it be difficult? It might be, we don't have a lot of Exynos based ports so there could be some major hurdles.

i was also wondering if any seasoned developers would make this happen if we pay him. we tried contacting one person who actually built LOS 14.1 and made it stable.
But we don't know if he actually has enough experience in building sailfish os

is this the device you're talking about?

EDIT:
My mistake, this is the Galaxy A5 (2015) not the 2017 device, but perhaps a lot of the fixes can be applicable to the later device
