The stale-build check in build-redbear.sh compared HEAD commit hashes
against a stored fingerprint, which silently ignored uncommitted changes
in local/sources/{relibc,kernel,base,bootloader,installer}.
This meant dev iterations where a maintainer edited the working tree
without committing would not trigger a rebuild of the affected package.
The cookbook would then cook the binary from a fingerprint that
claims 'up to date' but is actually older than the working tree.
This commit extends the staleness test to also check
'git diff HEAD', 'git diff --cached HEAD', and
'git ls-files --others --exclude-standard'. The error message
distinguishes 'uncommitted changes' from 'new commits' so the
operator can tell which case triggered the rebuild.
Also adds local/scripts/lint-doc-comments.sh: a doc-comment hygiene
linter that flags agent-memo style comments (Note:, This implements...,
Changed from..., Added new..., Korean variants) so future commits
can be screened for the WHAT-not-WHY comment anti-pattern.
- recipes/dev/python312/recipe.toml: use COOKBOOK_TOOLCHAIN for
--with-build-python instead of /tmp/python312, which the build system
never stages. Add [ -x ] guard for clear failure on missing dev-dep.
- recipes/core/userutils/recipe.toml: switch from upstream git URL to
local fork (local/sources/userutils/) per the local fork model. The
upstream source opens /scheme/pty/ptmx which the ptyd scheme does not
recognize; the local fork opens /scheme/pty correctly and avoids the
getty PTY panic.
- local/scripts/build-preflight.sh: warn when a recipe build script
references /tmp/<known-package>/, since the cookbook does not stage
host dev-deps under /tmp/<name>. Points authors at COOKBOOK_TOOLCHAIN.
- local/scripts/build-redbear.sh: replace 'tail -1 || true' on pre-cook
failures with proper error capture, last-50-lines tail on failure, and
exit-1. Verify the pkgar exists after a successful cook.
- Add --address=unix:path=/run/dbus/system_bus_socket to dbus-daemon args
- Add before = ["13_redbear-sessiond.service"] for strict ordering
- Fixes redbear-sessiond "failed to read from socket" errors
- Add x11proto to redbear-full.toml package list
- libxau recipe updated with x11proto dependency and custom build script
- Fixes libxau build failure: 'Package xproto was not found'
TLC (Twilight Commander) was missing from both ISO configs. Added
tlc = {} to [packages] in redbear-mini.toml and redbear-full.toml.
Created missing symlink: recipes/tui/tlc -> ../../local/recipes/tui/tlc.
The build-redbear.sh script was applying patches from local/patches/ to
recipes/core/{kernel,base,relibc,installer}/source/ via apply_patch_dir().
For path= (local fork) components, recipes/core/<comp>/source is a SYMLINK
to local/sources/<comp>. The patches went through the symlink and modified
the fork directly — re-adding old code like SchedPolicy that was already
removed from the fork.
This was the root cause of the kernel source reversion bug that caused
intermittent build failures (V157, V159): old patches re-applying stale
code to the synced fork through symlinks.
Fix:
- Remove apply_patch_dir calls for kernel, base, relibc, installer
(all use path= local fork model — changes are committed to the fork)
- Keep apply_patch_dir for bootloader (still uses git= + patches)
- Remove stash_nested_repo_if_dirty for relibc (no patches to stash)
- Update verify-overlay-integrity.sh expected patch symlinks
- Update apply-patches.sh to not create kernel/base patch symlinks
- Fix 005-qtbase signature marker (wrong path: libs → wip/qt)
- Remove 78 old patch symlinks from recipes/core/kernel/ (cleanup)
- archive-sources.sh: exports fully-patched source archives as
category-pkgname-vVERSION-patched.tar.gz with recipe.toml
- Integrated into build-redbear.sh (runs after every successful build)
- Versions extracted from: explicit rev=, tar URL, or git HEAD
- integrate-redbear.sh: added all missing local recipe symlinks
(breeze, kde-cli-tools, kdecoration, kirigami, plasma-*, wayland/*,
redbear-compositor, redbear-passwd, redox-drm, amdgpu, tests/*)
- 210 archives generated, 171 packages in manifest
- All 12 I2C/GPIO/UCSI drivers verified in base archive
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
