The patch was written against git 2.13.1 (2017) while the recipe fetches
2.55.0 — eight years of drift, seven of eight files rejecting. Rebased by
applying what still fit, hand-porting every reject against the current
source, and regenerating the whole patch from a pristine-vs-ported diff so
it is a coherent 2.55.0 patch rather than a 2.13 patch with fixups.
Per file, preserving the original Redox intent:
compat/bswap.h <machine/endian.h> for ntohl/htonl
compat/terminal.c __redox__ git_terminal_prompt branch; the file was
restructured, so it now precedes the generic #else
configure NO_IPV6=YesPlease
daemon.c logreport is a switch over LOG_DESTINATION_* in
2.55.0; guard the syslog arm and openlog instead of
the old if/else
git-compat-util.h SIG_DFL/SIG_IGN/SIG_ERR fallbacks
Makefile EXTLIBS=-lnghttp2; drop the three hardlink fallbacks
run-command.c dup_devnull is gone in 2.55.0; the four /dev/null
opens it replaced now use DEV_NULL directly
setup.c sanitize_stdfds uses xopen/xdup, which die
internally, so the old die_errno hunk is obsolete
Applies at --fuzz=0 with zero rejects across all eight files.
Also ac_cv_iconv_omits_bom=no: the 'iconv omits bom for utf-16 and
utf-32' probe is a RUN test and cannot execute while cross compiling.
Same mechanism as the neighbouring ac_cv_fread_reads_directories and
ac_cv_snprintf_returns_bogus entries.
One trap worth recording: a blanket '*.orig' cleanup before regenerating
the diff silently deleted t/t4256/1/mailinfo.c.orig, a real git test
fixture, which would have shipped as a deletion in the patch. Restored.
git links -lintl (libintl, from gettext) for i18n but never declared gettext as
a build dependency — it was implicitly relying on libintl.a already being in the
shared prefix sysroot from another package. When the relibc/kernel-touched boot-
ABI relink cleaned the sysroot, git's own sysroot lacked libintl and the link
failed. Declare the dependency so libintl.a is staged into git's sysroot.
iPerf3 3.21 is a bug fix release from July 2025.
rsync 3.4.4 is the latest 3.4.x maintenance release.
git 2.55.0 is the latest 2.55.x stable release, fixing 9+ years of CVEs
and bugs since the Red Bear build's 2.13.1 baseline. This is a security
critical upgrade.
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)
