Avoid a non-essential debug-only formatting dependency in the WIP Redox libwayland build so the verified relibc compatibility slice is not blocked by wl_closure_print diagnostics.
Keep the relibc compatibility work in tracked local patch carriers and align the recipe with the full durable patch stack so clean reapply and rebuild paths stay reproducible.
Keep the relibc overlay consistent so the generated stdlib header preserves C linkage for strtold and the existing toolchain can still satisfy stale C++ callers while it is refreshed.
5-crate Rust workspace implementing full VFAT support: fatd scheme daemon
(FSScheme with open/read/write/mkdir/unlink/rename/fstat), fat-mkfs (create
FAT12/16/32 with labels and cluster size), fat-label (read/write BPB + root-dir
volume labels), fat-check (verify + repair dirty flags, FSInfo, lost clusters,
orphaned LFN). 60 unit tests, 0 unwrap in production code. Included in all 5
redbear configs via redbear-device-services.toml.
The symlink from recipes/wip/services/grub was using ../../../../local/
which goes above the repo root. Fixed to ../../../local/ which correctly
resolves from recipes/wip/services/ to local/recipes/core/grub.
install-grub.sh now searches both recipes/core/bootloader/target and
local/recipes/core/bootloader/target for the Redox bootloader artifact.
The WIP grub recipe (recipes/wip/services/grub) is now a full directory
symlink to local/recipes/core/grub instead of just recipe.toml, ensuring
COOKBOOK_RECIPE resolves to a directory that contains grub.cfg. This also
eliminates the duplicate recipe warning from the cookbook.
The GRUB recipe now fails hard (exit 1) if grub.cfg is missing instead of
just warning.
Builds GRUB 2.12 for the host machine (not Redox target) using template=custom.
Produces a 540 KiB standalone PE32+ EFI binary with GPT, FAT, ext2,
chainloader, and utility modules. The grub.cfg chainloads the Redox
bootloader from EFI/REDBEAR/redbear.efi.
5-second countdown with any-key cancel into manual mode selection. Defaults to 1280x720, falls back to EDID best resolution. UEFI only via get_key_timeout polling with BootServices.Stall.
Add channel/band/rate/BSS/RX-TX structures to linux-kpi wireless
scaffolding (mac80211.rs, wireless.rs, net.rs, C headers), extend
redbear-iwlwifi linux_port.c with comprehensive PCIe transport, and
create consolidated CONSOLE-TO-KDE-DESKTOP-PLAN.md as the canonical
desktop path document. Remove stale INTEGRATION_REPORT.md (1388 lines)
in favor of current local/docs/ references. Update AGENTS.md, README,
and docs index to point to the new plan.
CUB (Red Bear OS Package Builder) is a Rust CLI tool that combines package management and building:
- RBPKGBUILD parser (TOML format) with full spec support
- Cookbook adapter converting RBPKGBUILD to recipe.toml
- PKGBUILD (Arch AUR) to RBPKGBUILD conversion with Linuxism detection
- Dependency mapping (Arch to Redox names)
- pkgar package creation integration
- Build environment setup with Cookbook env vars
- CLI with pacman-style shortcuts: -S, -Ss, -B, -G, -Pi, -Sua, -Sc, --import-aur
28 cub-lib tests passing. cub-cli compiles with local pkgutils.
Added cub = {} to redbear-desktop, redbear-full, redbear-minimal configs.
Created recipe symlink and updated integrate-redbear.sh.
Add mc recipe (v4.8.30) with Redox-specific patch disabling PTY, resolver, subshell, and SFTP/FTP VFS. Build with ncurses against glib. Symlink into recipes/tui/. Add mc package to redbear-desktop, redbear-full, and redbear-minimal configs.
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
