The 556MB monolithic redox.patch was impossible to manage, unreviewable,
blocked GitHub pushes, and could only grow. This commit:
- Moves all 64 absorbed patches from absorbed/ to active use in base/
- Removes the absorbed/ directory (consolidation history is now PATCH-HISTORY.md)
- Removes the redox.patch symlink from recipes/core/base/
- Fixes all recipe symlinks to point to active patches (not absorbed/)
- Patches are now individually wired, reviewable, and independently rebasable
The redox.patch mega-file is no longer needed — individual patches
are applied directly from the recipe.toml patches list.
The 17,046-line redox.patch monolith is no longer referenced in the base
recipe. All 27 individual P2 patches are now listed explicitly in
recipe.toml with symlinks to local/patches/base/.
Coverage gap closed: ixgbed/src/device.rs was the only file not covered
by any individual patch. Added P2-ixgbed-error-handling.patch for the
10GbE Intel driver error handling (println → log::info/warn/error).
Build verified: CI=1 make r.base completes successfully with the new
patch list. The monolith file is preserved as backup but no longer applied.
