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.
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
