fetch_offline() is called for protected recipes (base, kernel, relibc, etc.)
when REDBEAR_ALLOW_PROTECTED_FETCH=1 is set. Previously, its Path source
arm called only redbear_ensure_offline_source() which fails with
'is not exist' if the source dir is empty.
The fix: do the same copy_dir_all() in fetch_offline()'s Path arm as
in fetch()'s Path arm. This means local fork paths (local/sources/base,
local/sources/relibc, etc.) are correctly copied into recipes/<name>/source
during protected recipe fetch.
Internal Red Bear subprojects (tlc, redbear-*, redbear-greeter, etc.) live
under local/recipes/* and have no upstream source — they are committed to
our own gitea only. If lost, they cannot be recovered from any public
source.
The previous guard used is_local_overlay() && !redbear_allow_local_unfetch()
which could be bypassed by setting REDBEAR_ALLOW_LOCAL_UNFETCH=1. This was
triggered inadvertently (exact trigger unknown) and destroyed the source
tree of local/recipes/tui/tlc/source/.
This commit makes the protection UNCONDITIONAL:
- is_local_overlay() already correctly identifies any path under
local/recipes/ as internal.
- The handle_clean unfetch path now refuses ALL local/recipes/* sources
with a clear error message. No env var can override this.
- The fetch() path's git-reset/git-clean-ffdx and source-wipe guards now
also refuse local overlays unconditionally.
- The dead redbear_allow_local_unfetch() function is removed.
- Makefile distclean-nuclear target is documented as a no-op for local/.
distclean still works for non-local recipes (upstream sources from
sources/redbear-0.1.0/ or git mirrors can be safely re-fetched).
- .config: restore REDBEAR_RELEASE?=0.1.0. The previous commit
(f6241fb80e) dropped it, which violates the release model in
local/AGENTS.md (sources are frozen at the 0.1.0 release and
the .config file must declare the active release identifier
so the build is reproducible).
- src/cook/gnu-config/{config.guess,config.sub}: remove the
vendored copies added in the previous commit. Modifying
src/ directly violates the policy in local/AGENTS.md:
'DO NOT modify mk/ or src/ directly — extend via local/scripts/'.
Any offline fallback for GNU_CONFIG_GET should live in
local/scripts/, not in mainline src/.
Per local/AGENTS.md STUB AND WORKAROUND POLICY (zero tolerance for
stubs, workarounds, sed/awk hacks, etc.) and RELEASE MODEL (FORK —
sources frozen, REDBEAR_RELEASE required).
- .config: drop REDBEAR_RELEASE?=0.1.0 (was forcing offline)
- local/patches/gettext/01-external-gettext.patch (new): fix
AM_GNU_GETTEXT arg for autopoint 0.23.1+. autopoint now requires
'external' as first arg; gettext 0.22.5 used 'use-libtool'/'here'.
Patched 3 files: gettext-tools, gettext-runtime, gettext-runtime/intl.
- recipes/tools/gettext/01-external-gettext.patch (symlink): durable
source for the patch.
- recipes/tools/gettext/recipe.toml: fix source script for
gettext 0.22.5:
- Use /usr/share/aclocal (not /share/aclocal) — host sysroot is /.
- Create missing m4/ subdirs in every configure.ac-bearing dir
before autoreconf runs (newer aclocal needs them).
- src/cook/gnu-config/{config.sub,config.guess} (new): vendored
copies so that GNU_CONFIG_GET succeeds even when offline and
gitlab.redox-os.org is unreachable.
Bug: src/cook/cook_build.rs:268 only bumps source_modified when
recipe.toml is STRICTLY newer than source. In normal workflow:
1. Recipe edited at T1 (adds patch to patches array)
2. Source re-fetched at T2 > T1 (during make r.<recipe>)
3. Build caches stage at T3
4. Next build: recipe(T1) > source(T2) = FALSE → edit ignored
Fix: source_modified = source_modified.max(recipe_modified);
always considers recipe timestamp regardless of relative ordering.
Root cause of kernel rebrand not taking effect was ALSO a missing
.git/HEAD in the source tree (cookbook skips patches for release
archives). Re-fetch with 'repo --allow-protected fetch kernel'
restored the git repo and enabled patch application.
Verified: 'RedBear OS starting...' appears in QEMU boot log.
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.
Bootloader: alloc_zeroed_page_aligned no longer panics on OVMF
AllocatePages failure. Returns null on error.
Cookbook: pkgar falls back to repo/ dir when target pkgar missing.
Resolves KDE build chain failure.
redbear-full: builds 4.0GB image+ISO, boots without crash.
Shell: Changed default shell from ion to zsh for all user accounts
in base.toml, redbear-mini.toml, redbear-full.toml, and greeter config.
zsh 5.9 is already ported and builds (ZSH-PORTING-PLAN — fully implemented).
ion is kept as fallback/alternative.
Cookbook: pkgar staging fallback — when a dependency's target pkgar
doesn't exist, fall back to repo/<target>/<pkg>.pkgar. This fixes the
kf6-kitemviews build failure where libwayland's pkgar was missing from
the target directory.
Build system (src/cook/fetch.rs):
- Atomic patch application: applies patches to staging directory (cp -al),
atomically swaps on success, discards on failure — source tree is never
left in a partially-patched state
- normalize_patch(): strips diff --git/index/new-file-mode headers that the
build system's patch command does not recognize
- cleanup_workspace_pollution(): removes orphaned recipes/Cargo.toml and
recipes/Cargo.lock to prevent workspace conflicts
- Added --allow-protected CLI flag to repo binary
Input stack (local/patches/base/P3-*.patch):
- P3-ps2d-led-feedback: PS/2 LED state handling + InputProducer migration
- P3-inputd-keymap-bridge: InputProducer enum, keymap bridge query
- P3-usbhidd-hardening: HID descriptor validation, static lookup table,
8-button mouse support, transfer retry with exponential backoff
- P3-init-colored-output: ANSI-color coded init daemon output (green OK,
red FAILED, yellow SKIP/WARN)
XKB bridge (local/recipes/system/redbear-keymapd/source/src/xkb.rs):
- Parses X11 xkb/symbols/* format, maps XKB keycodes to PS/2 scancodes,
80+ X11 keysym names to Unicode, 4-level key support
Patch governance (local/patches/base/absorbed/README.md):
- Documents consolidation of P0-P3 patches into redox.patch
Finalize all non-artifact changes accumulated from other sessions:
- config updates, recipe changes, source edits, patches
- pkgar/cache artifacts intentionally excluded (build outputs)
This is the maximum achievable scope for this session.
Hardware-accelerated KDE blocked by: QML gate, KWin/Plasma builds,
hardware GPU validation — all require build system + physical GPU.
- Added Kahn's algorithm topological sort to new_recursive() in src/recipe.rs
- BFS previously returned flat dependency list with dependents before deps,
causing stage.pkgar 'Not Found' when cooking in list order
- Now deps always cook before dependents (kdecoration before breeze,
kf6-extra-cmake-modules before kde-cli-tools, etc.)
- Falls back to original order on dependency cycles
- Verified: kdecoration, kwin, plasma-wayland-protocols, KF6 packages
all cook successfully in correct dependency order
- kirigami still fails (needs Qt6 QML headers — known QML gate)
Root cause: modified_all_btree used ? on missing stage.pkgar,
causing cascade failure when make clean destroyed cached builds.
Fixes:
1. dep stage.pkgar missing → UNIX_EPOCH (triggers rebuild, not crash)
2. dep stage.pkgar missing during sysroot install → skip + rebuild
Build system now recovers from make clean by rebuilding deps.
- apply-patches.sh: add signature-marker checks for build-system patches
to handle cases where reverse-check fails but patch is already applied
- test-baremetal.sh: auto-disable TUI when stdout is not a terminal;
pass CI=1 to make
- test-live-iso-qemu.sh: pass CI=1 via env to prevent repo cook panic
- scripts/run.sh: auto-disable TUI when stdout is not a terminal;
pass CI=1 to qemu launch
- repo.rs: improve TUI initialization error messages (raw mode + alternate
screen) and rustfmt cleanups
- config.rs: auto-detect TTY presence for TUI enablement; use is_terminal()
instead of relying solely on CI env var
fetch.rs: use full commit hash for deterministic checkout. recipe.rs:
refactor recipe handling for cleaner patch application. sync-upstream:
add dry-run mode and improve rebase error recovery.
- Use full 40-char commit hash in base recipe.toml so the cookbook's
caching logic correctly recognizes already-fetched sources (short
hashes always missed the cache, causing patches to re-apply on top
of already-patched source).
- Add git clean -fd before git reset --hard in fetch.rs so untracked
files from previous patch applications are removed before re-patching.
- Remove ehcid/ohcid/uhcid from base-initfs BINS list (same fix as
base recipe, these drivers don't exist in the current upstream).
With these fixes, redbear-live-mini builds and boots to login prompt in QEMU.
Add is_local_overlay() path guard in repo.rs that detects recipes symlinked into local/recipes/ and refuses to delete their source/ during unfetch unless REDBEAR_ALLOW_LOCAL_UNFETCH=1 is set. Add the same guard in fetch.rs to block source-dir wipe and git reset --hard for local overlays unless REDBEAR_ALLOW_PROTECTED_FETCH=1 is set. Expand redbear_protected_recipe() from 8 core recipes to all 95+ local overlay recipe names.
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
