Red Bear is a fork/overlay on top of Redox. The upstream build
system wasn't designed for forks — it loses all cached stages on
make clean with no recovery path.
This commit adds a git-tracked build cache:
- local/cache/pkgar/{pkg}/stage.pkgar — per-package cache files
- cache-sync.sh: sync built packages → git-tracked cache
- cache-sync.sh --restore: restore cache → recipe targets
- cache-sync.sh --commit: sync + git commit
- Auto-restore before build, auto-sync after build
Cache survives: make clean, make distclean, git clone, upstream rebase.
Recovery from clean: seconds (restore from git) vs hours (full rebuild).
Commit Red Bear OS icon and loading background images to the branding recipe source. Update .gitignore to exclude fetched tarballs, build artifacts, and target/ dirs inside local/recipes/ while preserving tracked source code.

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
