Red Bear OS is a full fork. All sources must be available from git clone
with zero network access. Removed gitignore rules that excluded fetched
source trees under recipes/*/source/, local/recipes/kde/*/source/,
local/recipes/qt/*/source/, and vendor source trees.
Build artifacts (target/, build/, source.tar, *.o, *.so) remain excluded.
127291 files added — kernel, relibc, base, bootloader, pkgar, all KDE/Qt
frameworks, mesa, wayland, DRM drivers, and every other recipe source.
Platform prerequisite status:
- Qt6::Sensors: BUILT (v6.11.0, 520KB pkgar, dummy backend)
- libinput: BUILT (v1.30.2, with libevdev v1.13.2 + linux-input-headers)
- QML/Quick JIT: still disabled on Redox (blocks real KWin binary,
kirigami, plasma-framework)
KWin: now attempts real cmake build with Sensors + libinput deps
enabled. Falls back to redbear-compositor shim on cmake failure
(QML/Quick gate). Previously kwin was pure stub — now it's a
bounded build attempt with fallback.
Enabled in config (new this session):
- qt6-sensors, libevdev, libinput, kdecoration, kf6-kcmutils
Previously OOTB dependencies now resolved:
- libevdev → libinput → KWin real build path opened
- linux-input-headers → libevdev → libinput chain
- qt6-sensors → KWin Sensors dependency satisfied
Phase 3 input chain wiring:
udev-shim: when scheme:evdev is registered (by evdevd), probe for
event0..event7 devices and create /dev/input/eventN nodes pointing to
scheme:evdev/eventN. This bridges evdevd's evdev devices into the
/dev/input namespace that libinput and compositors expect.
libinput: remove -Dudev=false and add libudev-stub as a dependency.
The libudev-stub recipe provides libudev.so that reads from scheme:udev
(udev-shim), giving libinput a working udev enumeration path instead of
stub functions that return NULL.
Input chain is now: hardware → /scheme/input → evdevd → scheme:evdev →
udev-shim → /dev/input/eventN → libudev-stub → libinput → KWin.
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
