L1: Add make qemu-ram target — copies disk image to host tmpfs before
QEMU boots, eliminating host disk I/O during OS runtime.
Usage: make qemu-ram CONFIG_NAME=redbear-full QEMU_MEM=12288
L2: Create local/recipes/AGENTS.md — comprehensive catalog of all 165
custom recipes across 15 categories with descriptions.
L3: CollisionTracker already fully implemented and wired into installer
(recipes/core/installer/source/src/collision.rs, 267 lines).
L4: Add scripts/validate-collision-log.sh to make validate target —
scans build logs for [COLLISION-ERROR]/[COLLISION-WARN] markers
from the runtime CollisionTracker.
Add redbear-usb-storage-check in-guest binary that validates USB mass
storage read and write I/O: discovers /scheme/disk/ devices, writes a
test pattern to sector 2048, reads it back, verifies match, restores
original content. Updates test-usb-storage-qemu.sh with write-proof
verification step.
Includes all accumulated Red Bear OS work: kernel patches, relibc
patches, driver infrastructure, DRM/GPU, KDE recipes, firmware,
validation tooling, build system hardening, and documentation.
5-phase hardening to prevent silent file-layer collisions (the D-Bus
regression class):
Phase 1: lint-config-paths.sh + make lint-config in depends.mk
Phase 2: CollisionTracker in installer (content-hash comparison)
Phase 3: installs manifests in recipe.toml + validate-file-ownership.sh
Phase 4: validate-init-services.sh + make validate in disk.mk
Phase 5: documentation (AGENTS.md, BUILD-SYSTEM-HARDENING-PLAN.md)
Both redbear-mini and redbear-full build and validate clean.
66 declared install paths in base, zero conflicts.
- Fixed repo .pkgar count: 13 (was 15 claimed). Updated all docs.
- Fixed stage-only count: 23 (was 21).
- Removed last stale '9 KF6 reach image' text from bottom line.
- Removed stale '22 additional recipes need enablement' text.
- Live ISO path now depends on 'sources' target (archival parity
with harddrive.img path).
- All counts now verified against actual repo artifacts.
make distclean now documents that local/ is protected and will NOT be deleted. Add make distclean-nuclear as the only path that can touch local overlay sources (requires REDBEAR_ALLOW_LOCAL_UNFETCH=1). Add unfetch risk comments in mk/repo.mk for local overlay recipes.
Consolidate the active desktop path around redbear-full while landing the greeter/session stack and the runtime fixes needed to keep Wayland and KWin bring-up moving forward.
Adds --bootloader and --filesystem to installer help text. Fixes
fstools host build by symlinking local/ directory alongside recipes/
so the ext4-blockdev path dependency resolves correctly.
integrate-redbear.sh is an idempotent overlay setup script: creates symlinks for custom recipes, patches, and configs; stages branding assets and firmware into local recipe sources; writes a tag file for the build system. mk/redbear.mk wires it as a make target with Podman support.
Replace all 'rbos'/'RBOS' references with 'redbear'/'Red Bear OS'
across the build system, scripts, docs, and configs. Renamed files:
rbos.ipxe → redbear.ipxe
assets/rbos-icon.png → assets/redbear-icon.png
recipes/system/rbos-info → recipes/system/redbear-info
Added redbear-info: a system tool that enumerates all Red Bear OS
custom components, checks runtime availability via scheme paths and
binary presence, and prints status/test info. Supports --verbose,
--json, and --test output modes. Zero external dependencies.
Derivative of Redox OS (https://www.redox-os.org) adding:
- AMD GPU driver (amdgpu) via LinuxKPI compat layer
- ext4 filesystem support (ext4d scheme daemon)
- ACPI fixes for AMD bare metal (x2APIC, DMAR, IVRS, MCFG)
- Custom branding (hostname, os-release, boot identity)
Build system is full upstream Redox with RBOS overlay in local/.
Patches for kernel, base, and relibc are symlinked from local/patches/
and protected from make clean/distclean. Custom recipes live in
local/recipes/ with symlinks into the recipes/ search path.
Build: make all CONFIG_NAME=redbear-full
Sync: ./local/scripts/sync-upstream.sh
