On the live image, a fork/exec during login-shell startup can stall the
shell before its first prompt. Replace command substitutions with pure
builtins in the startup path:
- bash.bashrc: read /etc/redox_chroot with the 'read' builtin instead of
$(cat ...)
- profile: derive the root prompt from EUID/USER/LOGNAME (set by
login(1)) instead of $(id -u)
- skel/.bashrc: disable lesspipe and dircolors eval (both spawn
subprocesses); keep the ls --color=auto alias
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
