Fix BOOT_PATH logic in grub-install: non-removable installs now use
EFI/${BOOTLOADER_ID} per UEFI spec instead of always EFI/BOOT.
Add timeout validation to grub-mkconfig (must be non-negative integer).
Add sync() method to fat_tool.py and call os.fsync after cp_in to
ensure data reaches disk. Fix misleading block-device error message.
Create grub-install and grub-mkconfig scripts in local/scripts/ that
match GNU GRUB CLI conventions for users migrating from Linux. Support
standard switches: --target, --efi-directory, --bootloader-id,
--removable, -o/--output, --verbose, --help, --version. Unsupported
Linux options are accepted and ignored for script compatibility.
Also fix ESP FAT type: force FAT32 in both with_whole_disk and
with_whole_disk_ext4 (UEFI spec requires FAT32, fatfs auto-selects
FAT16 for partitions under 32 MiB). Fix --write-bootloader to export
GRUB EFI in GRUB mode. Fix CLI example in GRUB plan. Update AGENTS.md
and GRUB-INTEGRATION-PLAN.md with Linux-compatible CLI docs.
- Add grub package to redbear-full-grub.toml so make all works from
a clean tree (the installer needs grub.efi before it runs)
- Fix stat -f%z (macOS-only) to stat -c%s (Linux) in GRUB recipe
- Normalize bootloader config value to lowercase in install_inner so
bootloader = "GRUB" from config files is accepted
- Add bad-cluster marker (0x0FFFFFF7) check in fat_tool.py
_next_cluster to prevent potential infinite loops on degraded media
- Fix file handle leak in fat_tool.py if _read_bpb raises
- Clean up temp directory in fetch_bootloaders on error
- Update AGENTS.md with GRUB recipe and installer documentation
- Update GRUB plan with clean-build prerequisite note
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.
Ensures recipes/core/grub and the WIP conflict redirect are created
by apply-patches.sh, so a fresh sync-upstream + apply-patches cycle
preserves the GRUB integration.
The script now reads the Redox bootloader from the cookbook's bootloader
package output instead of extracting it from the ESP. This makes it
idempotent — previously, rerunning after GRUB install would copy GRUB
itself into EFI/REDBEAR/redbear.efi because ESP's BOOTX64.EFI was GRUB.
fat_tool.py provides zero-dependency FAT32 manipulation (ls, mkdir,
cp-in, cp-out) using only Python stdlib struct/os. install-grub.sh uses
it to extract the existing Redox bootloader from ESP, install GRUB as
the primary boot manager, and set up the chainload configuration.
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 local/scripts/fetch-sources.sh for fetching sources by category (core, libs, tools) instead of by config. Fix .gitignore to only track our hand-written source code (branding, core, drivers, gpu, system, wayland, kde categories), excluding fetched vendor source like MC's ported source tree.
integrate-redbear.sh is an idempotent overlay setup script: creates symlinks for custom recipes, patches, and configs; stages branding assets and firmware into local recipe sources; writes a tag file for the build system. mk/redbear.mk wires it as a make target with Podman support.
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
