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.
When the cookbook copies a Path source into recipes/<name>/source, the
relative 'path = ...' references in [workspace.dependencies] are resolved
relative to the COPY location (recipes/<name>/source/), not the original
fork location (local/sources/<name>/). Since these directories are at
different depths from repo root (3 levels vs 4 levels), no single relative
path can resolve correctly in both locations.
Fix: for Path sources that point inside local/sources/ or local/recipes/,
use symlink instead of copy. The symlink preserves the original location
so the workspace root remains the fork's native directory, and relative
paths resolve consistently.
Also fixes symlink target bug: use canonicalize() to convert the path to
absolute form before symlinking. The previous code used the relative path
as the symlink target, which was resolved relative to the symlink's parent
directory (not where the symlink was created), producing broken symlinks.
fetch_offline() is called for protected recipes (base, kernel, relibc, etc.)
when REDBEAR_ALLOW_PROTECTED_FETCH=1 is set. Previously, its Path source
arm called only redbear_ensure_offline_source() which fails with
'is not exist' if the source dir is empty.
The fix: do the same copy_dir_all() in fetch_offline()'s Path arm as
in fetch()'s Path arm. This means local fork paths (local/sources/base,
local/sources/relibc, etc.) are correctly copied into recipes/<name>/source
during protected recipe fetch.
Internal Red Bear subprojects (tlc, redbear-*, redbear-greeter, etc.) live
under local/recipes/* and have no upstream source — they are committed to
our own gitea only. If lost, they cannot be recovered from any public
source.
The previous guard used is_local_overlay() && !redbear_allow_local_unfetch()
which could be bypassed by setting REDBEAR_ALLOW_LOCAL_UNFETCH=1. This was
triggered inadvertently (exact trigger unknown) and destroyed the source
tree of local/recipes/tui/tlc/source/.
This commit makes the protection UNCONDITIONAL:
- is_local_overlay() already correctly identifies any path under
local/recipes/ as internal.
- The handle_clean unfetch path now refuses ALL local/recipes/* sources
with a clear error message. No env var can override this.
- The fetch() path's git-reset/git-clean-ffdx and source-wipe guards now
also refuse local overlays unconditionally.
- The dead redbear_allow_local_unfetch() function is removed.
- Makefile distclean-nuclear target is documented as a no-op for local/.
distclean still works for non-local recipes (upstream sources from
sources/redbear-0.1.0/ or git mirrors can be safely re-fetched).
- .config: restore REDBEAR_RELEASE?=0.1.0. The previous commit
(f6241fb80e) dropped it, which violates the release model in
local/AGENTS.md (sources are frozen at the 0.1.0 release and
the .config file must declare the active release identifier
so the build is reproducible).
- src/cook/gnu-config/{config.guess,config.sub}: remove the
vendored copies added in the previous commit. Modifying
src/ directly violates the policy in local/AGENTS.md:
'DO NOT modify mk/ or src/ directly — extend via local/scripts/'.
Any offline fallback for GNU_CONFIG_GET should live in
local/scripts/, not in mainline src/.
Per local/AGENTS.md STUB AND WORKAROUND POLICY (zero tolerance for
stubs, workarounds, sed/awk hacks, etc.) and RELEASE MODEL (FORK —
sources frozen, REDBEAR_RELEASE required).
- .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.
Bug: src/cook/cook_build.rs:268 only bumps source_modified when
recipe.toml is STRICTLY newer than source. In normal workflow:
1. Recipe edited at T1 (adds patch to patches array)
2. Source re-fetched at T2 > T1 (during make r.<recipe>)
3. Build caches stage at T3
4. Next build: recipe(T1) > source(T2) = FALSE → edit ignored
Fix: source_modified = source_modified.max(recipe_modified);
always considers recipe timestamp regardless of relative ordering.
Root cause of kernel rebrand not taking effect was ALSO a missing
.git/HEAD in the source tree (cookbook skips patches for release
archives). Re-fetch with 'repo --allow-protected fetch kernel'
restored the git repo and enabled patch application.
Verified: 'RedBear OS starting...' appears in QEMU boot log.
Add redbear-usb-storage-check in-guest binary that validates USB mass
storage read and write I/O: discovers /scheme/disk/ devices, writes a
test pattern to sector 2048, reads it back, verifies match, restores
original content. Updates test-usb-storage-qemu.sh with write-proof
verification step.
Includes all accumulated Red Bear OS work: kernel patches, relibc
patches, driver infrastructure, DRM/GPU, KDE recipes, firmware,
validation tooling, build system hardening, and documentation.
5-phase hardening to prevent silent file-layer collisions (the D-Bus
regression class):
Phase 1: lint-config-paths.sh + make lint-config in depends.mk
Phase 2: CollisionTracker in installer (content-hash comparison)
Phase 3: installs manifests in recipe.toml + validate-file-ownership.sh
Phase 4: validate-init-services.sh + make validate in disk.mk
Phase 5: documentation (AGENTS.md, BUILD-SYSTEM-HARDENING-PLAN.md)
Both redbear-mini and redbear-full build and validate clean.
66 declared install paths in base, zero conflicts.
Bootloader: alloc_zeroed_page_aligned no longer panics on OVMF
AllocatePages failure. Returns null on error.
Cookbook: pkgar falls back to repo/ dir when target pkgar missing.
Resolves KDE build chain failure.
redbear-full: builds 4.0GB image+ISO, boots without crash.
Shell: Changed default shell from ion to zsh for all user accounts
in base.toml, redbear-mini.toml, redbear-full.toml, and greeter config.
zsh 5.9 is already ported and builds (ZSH-PORTING-PLAN — fully implemented).
ion is kept as fallback/alternative.
Cookbook: pkgar staging fallback — when a dependency's target pkgar
doesn't exist, fall back to repo/<target>/<pkg>.pkgar. This fixes the
kf6-kitemviews build failure where libwayland's pkgar was missing from
the target directory.
Build system (src/cook/fetch.rs):
- Atomic patch application: applies patches to staging directory (cp -al),
atomically swaps on success, discards on failure — source tree is never
left in a partially-patched state
- normalize_patch(): strips diff --git/index/new-file-mode headers that the
build system's patch command does not recognize
- cleanup_workspace_pollution(): removes orphaned recipes/Cargo.toml and
recipes/Cargo.lock to prevent workspace conflicts
- Added --allow-protected CLI flag to repo binary
Input stack (local/patches/base/P3-*.patch):
- P3-ps2d-led-feedback: PS/2 LED state handling + InputProducer migration
- P3-inputd-keymap-bridge: InputProducer enum, keymap bridge query
- P3-usbhidd-hardening: HID descriptor validation, static lookup table,
8-button mouse support, transfer retry with exponential backoff
- P3-init-colored-output: ANSI-color coded init daemon output (green OK,
red FAILED, yellow SKIP/WARN)
XKB bridge (local/recipes/system/redbear-keymapd/source/src/xkb.rs):
- Parses X11 xkb/symbols/* format, maps XKB keycodes to PS/2 scancodes,
80+ X11 keysym names to Unicode, 4-level key support
Patch governance (local/patches/base/absorbed/README.md):
- Documents consolidation of P0-P3 patches into redox.patch
Finalize all non-artifact changes accumulated from other sessions:
- config updates, recipe changes, source edits, patches
- pkgar/cache artifacts intentionally excluded (build outputs)
This is the maximum achievable scope for this session.
Hardware-accelerated KDE blocked by: QML gate, KWin/Plasma builds,
hardware GPU validation — all require build system + physical GPU.
- Added Kahn's algorithm topological sort to new_recursive() in src/recipe.rs
- BFS previously returned flat dependency list with dependents before deps,
causing stage.pkgar 'Not Found' when cooking in list order
- Now deps always cook before dependents (kdecoration before breeze,
kf6-extra-cmake-modules before kde-cli-tools, etc.)
- Falls back to original order on dependency cycles
- Verified: kdecoration, kwin, plasma-wayland-protocols, KF6 packages
all cook successfully in correct dependency order
- kirigami still fails (needs Qt6 QML headers — known QML gate)
Root cause: modified_all_btree used ? on missing stage.pkgar,
causing cascade failure when make clean destroyed cached builds.
Fixes:
1. dep stage.pkgar missing → UNIX_EPOCH (triggers rebuild, not crash)
2. dep stage.pkgar missing during sysroot install → skip + rebuild
Build system now recovers from make clean by rebuilding deps.
- apply-patches.sh: add signature-marker checks for build-system patches
to handle cases where reverse-check fails but patch is already applied
- test-baremetal.sh: auto-disable TUI when stdout is not a terminal;
pass CI=1 to make
- test-live-iso-qemu.sh: pass CI=1 via env to prevent repo cook panic
- scripts/run.sh: auto-disable TUI when stdout is not a terminal;
pass CI=1 to qemu launch
- repo.rs: improve TUI initialization error messages (raw mode + alternate
screen) and rustfmt cleanups
- config.rs: auto-detect TTY presence for TUI enablement; use is_terminal()
instead of relying solely on CI env var
fetch.rs: use full commit hash for deterministic checkout. recipe.rs:
refactor recipe handling for cleaner patch application. sync-upstream:
add dry-run mode and improve rebase error recovery.
- Use full 40-char commit hash in base recipe.toml so the cookbook's
caching logic correctly recognizes already-fetched sources (short
hashes always missed the cache, causing patches to re-apply on top
of already-patched source).
- Add git clean -fd before git reset --hard in fetch.rs so untracked
files from previous patch applications are removed before re-patching.
- Remove ehcid/ohcid/uhcid from base-initfs BINS list (same fix as
base recipe, these drivers don't exist in the current upstream).
With these fixes, redbear-live-mini builds and boots to login prompt in QEMU.
Add is_local_overlay() path guard in repo.rs that detects recipes symlinked into local/recipes/ and refuses to delete their source/ during unfetch unless REDBEAR_ALLOW_LOCAL_UNFETCH=1 is set. Add the same guard in fetch.rs to block source-dir wipe and git reset --hard for local overlays unless REDBEAR_ALLOW_PROTECTED_FETCH=1 is set. Expand redbear_protected_recipe() from 8 core recipes to all 95+ local overlay recipe names.
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
