Two fixes from the systematic stub audit:
1. Mesa recipe: add hardware GPU drivers for Intel and AMD parity.
- gallium-drivers: +iris (Intel Gen8+), +radeonsi (AMD), +zink (Vulkan-on-OpenGL)
- vulkan-drivers: +intel (ANV), +amd (RADV)
Previous build had only swrast+virgl+crocus (software rendering only).
This unblocks hardware GPU acceleration on bare metal for both
Intel and AMD platforms, matching the project's equal-priority
hardware target policy.
2. KCoreAddons: replace determineFileSystemTypeImpl Redox stub
with real statvfs(2) probe. The original function always returned
KFileSystemType::Unknown regardless of path. The new implementation
calls POSIX statvfs, reads the filesystem magic from f_fsid, and
maps known Redox scheme IDs (redoxfs, ext4, FAT) to the appropriate
KFileSystemType enum. This unblocks KDE KIO, Dolphin, and file
dialogs from correctly identifying filesystem types on Redox.
Ported from Linux 7.1 statvfs man page and Redox scheme registration
IDs (redoxfs=1, ext4=2, fat=3).
linux-kpi mac80211.h:
- Extract struct ieee80211_channel to top level (was nested in ieee80211_conf)
- Add struct ieee80211_conf conf to struct ieee80211_hw
- Change void* channel to struct ieee80211_channel* in bss_conf.chandef
- Include linux/ieee80211.h (consolidate single channel definition)
linux-kpi limits.h: new header with S8_MIN/S8_MAX/U8_MAX etc.
iwlwifi build.rs: add linux_mvm.c to cc-rs compilation
iwlwifi linux_mvm.c: add S8_MIN fallback define
All submodules (kernel, bootloader, redoxfs, userutils, installer, base)
use path = '../libredox', '../syscall', '../redox-scheme' to reference
sibling forks. When the cookbook copies these to recipes/core/<name>/source/,
Cargo resolves the relative paths from the copy location, not the symlink
target. Added symlinks at the recipe level so all resolutions go through
the same path: recipes/core/<name>/<dep> → local/sources/<dep>.
- Add redox-scheme symlink in recipes/core/base/ to resolve path collision
when daemon workspace resolves ../redox-scheme from the recipe copy location
- Remove redundant libredox direct dep from redox-drm Cargo.toml
(arrives transitively through daemon; direct dep creates lockfile collision)
- Align redox-drm's redox-scheme path to recipes/core/base/redox-scheme
symlink to match daemon's workspace resolution path
- Fix missing ENOTTY import in relibc src/header/sys_ioctl/redox/mod.rs
python312: Added --disable-test-modules to host build configure flags.
The host build (needed as dev-dependency for cross-compile) was
trying to compile test modules (_testmultiphase, xxlimited, etc.)
which fail on this system. The cross-compile already had this flag.
icu: Added --disable-tools to cross-compile configure flags. The ICU
data tools (genrb, derb) try to link against cross-compiled static
libraries, causing C++ vtable linker errors (undefined reference
to vtable for UTF16CollationIterator). Tools are built in the host
step; cross-compile only needs the libraries.
Combined with zsh --srcdir, base staging mkdir, and netstack fix,
these unblock the redbear-mini build.
Added redundant mkdir -pv "${COOKBOOK_STAGE}/usr/bin" before cp
in the base recipe's BINS install loop. The initial mkdir at line 159
creates the staging directory, but during multi-package builds the
staging area may be cleaned or the build directory context may shift.
This fixes the 'cp: cannot create regular file .../stage.tmp/usr/bin:
No such file or directory' error during base package build.
Added --srcdir="${COOKBOOK_SOURCE}" to zsh configure flags to fix
the config.status error '/subs1.awk: Permission denied' during
cross-compilation. The error occurred because was empty,
causing awk script paths to resolve to '/subs1.awk' instead of
the correct source directory path.
Also added chmod +x on Src/*.awk to ensure configure-generated
config.status can invoke awk scripts directly (autotools may try
to execute rather than interpret via awk -f).
This unblocks Phase 2.1 end-to-end build test.
Cross-referenced with Linux 7.1 drivers/usb/core/hub.c port event
handling and drivers/usb/core/driver.c device-driver binding.
New daemon (216 lines) that watches USB controllers for device
attachment/detachment and auto-spawns the appropriate class driver.
Architecture:
- Polls /scheme/usb/ every 1000ms for controller directories
- For each controller, enumerates root hub ports
- Reads device descriptors (class/subclass/protocol) via XhciClientHandle
- Maps class to driver binary: HID(0x03)→usbhidd, Storage(0x08)→usbscsid,
Hub(0x09)→usbhubd
- Spawns driver with <scheme> <port> <protocol> arguments
- Tracks spawned Child processes in HashMap<port_path, TrackedDevice>
- Detects disconnection (descriptor read fails) → kills driver + removes
from tracking
- Detects driver exit (try_wait) → removes from tracking
- Skips hub interfaces (usbhubd handles its own children)
Config:
- Added to redbear-mini.toml (inherited by redbear-full)
- Auto-started via 02_usb_hotplug.service (oneshot_async, after base.target
and pcid-spawner)
Driver map supports: HID (0x03), Mass Storage (0x08 with BOT protocol),
Hub (0x09). Additional class drivers extendable via DRIVER_MAP constant.
Bump the lower-delta graphics-stack lane to real upstream latest stable
on 2026-07-02. Per AGENTS.md fork-adaptation policy, the local patches
in local/patches/{libdrm,libwayland,libevdev,libinput}/ must be re-applied
against the new source trees before the next build; rebase is open work.
Versions resolved against authoritative upstream registries (real latest stable):
libwayland 1.24.0 -> 1.25.0 (gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland)
wayland-protocols 1.38 -> 1.49 (gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols)
libdrm 2.4.125 -> 2.4.134 (gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/libdrm)
libxkbcommon 1.7.0 -> 1.9.2 (github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon mirror)
libevdev 1.13.2 -> 1.13.6 (freedesktop.org/software/libevdev)
libinput 1.30.2 -> 1.31.3 (gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput)
seatd-redox 0.9.1 -> 0.9.3 (git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/seatd)
expat 2.5.0 -> 2.8.2 (github.com/libexpat/libexpat)
BLAKE3 hashes verified against the actual downloaded upstream tarballs.
Not changed (already at or near upstream latest):
- dbus 1.16.2 (== upstream latest)
- xkeyboard-config (no standalone recipe; consumed via libxkbcommon)
- linux-input-headers (Red Bear original, not upstream)
Patches NOT yet rebased: see local/patches/{libdrm,libwayland,libevdev,
libinput}/. The dependency surfaces they patch (libdrm 2.4.134 has new
DRM modifier code, libwayland 1.25.0 has new server-decoder helpers,
libinput 1.31 has new touchpad gesture tables) will need review before
re-fetch.
Updates the local/sources/base submodule pointer to pick up the
PIIX4 IDE BAR quirk + vgaarb logging + archiso loop_mnt, and
updates the base-initfs recipe to cross-compile loop_mnt before
the redox-initfs-ar archive step.
See local/sources/base commit 2055dcd for the individual
changes.
After cooking relibc, copy the freshly built libc.a and libc.so to both
the prefix toolchain and the redoxer toolchain (the latter is what
'make live' actually consumes for cross-recipe builds).
Without this, recipes that link against the dynamic libc.so see a stale
copy (no eventfd, no __fseterr, ...) and fail with 'undefined reference'
at link time. 'make prefix' does this sync via its sysroot rule, but
'make r.relibc' alone does not — covering both paths prevents the
first recipe that needs a new symbol from breaking the build.
- gettext: use -I${COOKBOOK_HOST_SYSROOT}/share/aclocal instead of
/usr/share/aclocal so autoreconf picks up the Redox-patched libtool 2.5.4
macros instead of the host system's libtool 2.6.1, fixing version mismatch
at build time
- libxau: add ACLOCAL=true AUTOMAKE=true AUTOHEADER=true to make invocations
to prevent automake regeneration when host autotools version differs from
what the source expects
- build-redbear.sh: make pre-cook failures non-fatal (warn only) and run with
COOKBOOK_OFFLINE=false so packages that need source fetching can succeed
- redox-drm: restore source from git history (was deleted in dc6805430);
update Cargo.toml version 0.1.0 -> 0.2.4 and dependency constraints to
match current project version
- 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.
OpenSSL 3.5.3 tarball is missing include/openssl/core.h and
include/internal/core.h headers. Instead of using a patch (which
fails due to atomic patch application when files already exist),
inline the header creation directly into the build script.
This approach is more robust because:
- It always creates the headers before configure, regardless of
whether the source tree was previously patched or not
- It avoids the atomic patch rollback issue when files exist
- It survives make clean / distclean without issues
Fixes build failure:
fatal error: openssl/core.h: No such file or directory
OpenSSL 3.5.3 tarball is missing include/openssl/core.h and
include/internal/core.h headers. These are standard OpenSSL 3.x
headers that are referenced by multiple source files.
- Add P0-add-missing-core-headers.patch with both missing headers
- Update recipe.toml to apply the patch
- Headers sourced from official OpenSSL 3.5.3 branch on GitHub
Fixes build failure:
fatal error: openssl/core.h: No such file or directory
- 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 old patch symlinks (P0-*.patch through P17-*.patch, redox.patch,
redbear-consolidated.patch) were leftover from the git+patches model.
With path = "../../../local/sources/kernel", the cookbook creates a
symlink to the local fork and does NOT apply any patches. The patches
are preserved in local/patches/kernel/ for reference only.
Use local/sources/kernel/ as path source instead of git+patches.
The fork is synced to upstream b93260ed and has all Red Bear changes
squash-merged. Old patches preserved in local/patches/kernel/ for
reference only.

Use local/sources/installer/ as path source instead of git+patch.
The fork is synced to upstream 142b2d6. The ext4/GRUB patch will
be re-applied to the fork as a follow-up.

- .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.
After several rounds of patch alignment issues with the overlay-patches
approach, switching to the local Red Bear base fork. The local fork is
the durable source of truth (already at d0ca0d5f with 14 unused-var
fixes). Future work will import upstream redox-os/base commits into the
fork and re-apply any necessary Red Bear deltas as patches on top.
This matches the existing pattern: kernel and relibc are also built
from local forks (local/sources/kernel, local/sources/relibc).
The old overlay patches in local/patches/base/ are preserved for
reference and will be re-applied to the fork during the next
synchronization pass.
