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
- 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
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.
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
