Comprehensive fix — not a fallback. Each recipe now has explicit
[package] section with name and version. Version inference:
- Git-source recipes without rev/branch: '0.1.0' (Red Bear convention)
- Tar/git recipes with version in URL or dir name: extracted version
- Sysroot-copy recipes: matched to toolchain version
Affected: 250+ recipes across all categories (core, libs, dev, system,
kde, qt, drivers, gpu, drm, kernel, userspace, etc.) Every recipe
in the redbear-mini build chain that was missing [package] now has
explicit version metadata. Cookbook can now always determine a version
at packaging time, eliminating 'cannot guess version' failures.
No cookbook fallback hack — the source of truth is recipe metadata.
KF6 frameworks: 44 packages 6.27.0 → 6.28.0
- Verified live upstream at https://download.kde.org/stable/frameworks/6.28/
- All tarballs re-downloaded, BLAKE3 hashes computed
- 39 auto-updated via script, 5 hand-fixed (kded6, notifyconfig,
parts, pty, syntaxhighlighting) due to package-name variants
Local forks (CachyOS-stable):
- freetype2: 2.13.3 → 2.14.3
- libxkbcommon: 1.11.0 → 1.13.2
- glib: 2.87.0 → 2.89.1
Upstream recipes (gnome.org):
- harfbuzz: 11.0.1 → 14.2.1
- pango: 1.56.3 → 1.56.4
All tarballs re-downloaded from upstream mirrors, BLAKE3 hashes
verified against the downloaded files. Each recipe updated with
new tar URL + BLAKE3 hash.
This is the first batch of the Round-2 comprehensive upgrade.
cstdlib/fstring.h file 'tostring' recipe was already at 1.19.1
(was a 404 from cairographics.org, kept at 1.18.4). cairo recipe
was already at 1.18.4 (latest).
Build verification pending via build-redbear.sh. Per user
request, will continue to walk ALL recipes for outdated versions.
The tracked source tree was stuck at KF6 6.10.0 with QML/Quick/kcmshell
stripped out and kcmoduleloader/kcmultidialog gutted by sed/python hacks.
Replace the local source with the upstream 6.27.0 tarball content, keeping
only the .clang-format and docs/ extras. This restores:
- add_subdirectory(qml) / (quick) / (kcmshell)
- kcmoduleqml.cpp/h, KF6KCMUtilsQuick, Qt6::Qml/Quick/QuickWidgets links
- kcmoduleloader.cpp and kcmultidialog.cpp QML code paths
- ECMQmlModule and KF6KIO find_package in top-level CMakeLists.txt
- Qt6Qml find_dependency in KF6KCMUtilsConfig.cmake.in
Shrink the recipe build script to use cookbook_apply_patches of the
external 01-initial-migration.patch and remove all sed/python hacks.
Shrink the migration patch to only disable ki18n_install(po) (translations
remain deferred until lupdate/lrelease is built for target).
Replaced 42 fragile per-recipe sed hacks (commenting out
ecm_install_po_files_as_qm and ki18n_install(po) in CMakeLists.txt)
with a single clean cmake flag: -DKF_SKIP_PO_PROCESSING=ON.
Both ECMPoQmTools.cmake and KF6I18nMacros.cmake.in natively check
KF_SKIP_PO_PROCESSING and return early before reaching
find_package(Qt6 COMPONENTS LinguistTools CONFIG REQUIRED).
This eliminates the need for Qt6LinguistTools (lupdate/lrelease)
at build time. When qttools is eventually built and Qt6LinguistTools
becomes available, simply remove the flag to re-enable translations.
With Qt6 FEATURE_qml=ON, FEATURE_network=ON, FEATURE_openssl=ON, and the
D-Bus daemon wiring all now working, several KF6 shortcuts can be removed:
- kf6-kdeclarative: re-enable Qt6 Qml+Quick (was Gui-only), drop the
KGLOBALACCEL=FALSE set, re-enable qmlcontrols subdirectory
- kf6-kcmutils: BUILD_WITH_QML=ON, USE_DBUS=ON (re-enables QML KCM
surfaces and the D-Bus session bus path)
- kf6-kitemmodels: BUILD_WITH_QML=ON (QML model bridge)
- kf6-kiconthemes: BUILD_WITH_QML=ON (QML icon theme integration)
- kf6-kio: BUILD_WITH_QML=ON (QML KIO integration), WITH_WAYLAND=ON
(Wayland-native KIO slaves)
- kf6-kpackage: BUILD_WITH_QML=ON (QML package bridge)
- kf6-kxmlgui: BUILD_WITH_QML=ON (QML XML GUI)
- kf6-kwindowsystem: WITH_WAYLAND=ON (Wayland KWindowSystem)
- kf6-prison: BUILD_WITH_QML=ON (QML barcode generator)
- kf6-sonnet: SONNET_USE_QML=ON (QML spellcheck integration)
- plasma-framework: BUILD_WITH_QML=ON, USE_DBUS=ON (QML framework + D-Bus)
Translations (ecm_install_po_files_as_qm, ki18n_install(po)) remain
disabled across all packages — they require lupdate/lrelease built for
the target which is a separate infrastructure item.
The build-redbear.sh script auto-stashes working tree changes
in nested relibc and base source trees before running the
build. These changes were captured by the failed kernel
build attempt that hit the json-target-spec / kernel rust
toolchain mismatch (fixed in 0.2.5 by creating the local
0.2.5 branch).
Captured changes:
- local/recipes/kde/* : KDE Frameworks 6 source CMakeLists
whitespace changes from the autostash (preserved)
- local/recipes/qt/qtbase/* : qtypes.h whitespace from the
autostash (preserved)
- local/sources/kernel/Cargo.lock : dependency lock from
the kernel relibc rebuild attempt
- local/sources/kernel/src/lib.rs : touched (mtime) by the
build script's touch + make prefix command
This is a bookkeeping commit — the actual code changes
for the threading plan are on the 4 submodule branches
(kernel, relibc, base, libredox) and will be pushed
separately.
0.2.5 branch was created from 0.2.4 (HEAD cd3950072e) to
continue Phase 0 of the multi-threading plan work in a
clean branch.
- Add x11proto to redbear-full.toml package list
- libxau recipe updated with x11proto dependency and custom build script
- Fixes libxau build failure: 'Package xproto was not found'
ROOT CAUSE: Qt6's auto-generated Wayland wrappers pass NULL proxies
to wl_*_add_listener() during initialization. The generated code stores
wlRegistryBind() return value in m_wl_* member without null check,
then init_listener() calls wl_*_add_listener(m_wl_*, ...) which
page-faults at null+8 (write to proxy->object.implementation).
FIX (kded6): wrapper script renames libqwayland.so to .disabled
before launching kded6.real. QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen alone is not
sufficient — Qt6 still loads wayland plugin despite env var.
FIX (libwayland): null guards in redox.patch for wl_proxy_add_listener,
wl_proxy_get_version, wl_proxy_get_display. Blocked from compilation
by pre-existing relibc conflicts (open_memstream, signalfd_siginfo).
FIX (Qt6 wrappers): regex-based null guard insertion proven in concept.
Blocked by TOML recipe format not supporting backslash escape sequences.
Implementation plan: inject null guards via a separate build step script
rather than inline in recipe.toml.
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.
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.
Platform prerequisite status:
- Qt6::Sensors: BUILT (v6.11.0, 520KB pkgar, dummy backend)
- libinput: BUILT (v1.30.2, with libevdev v1.13.2 + linux-input-headers)
- QML/Quick JIT: still disabled on Redox (blocks real KWin binary,
kirigami, plasma-framework)
KWin: now attempts real cmake build with Sensors + libinput deps
enabled. Falls back to redbear-compositor shim on cmake failure
(QML/Quick gate). Previously kwin was pure stub — now it's a
bounded build attempt with fallback.
Enabled in config (new this session):
- qt6-sensors, libevdev, libinput, kdecoration, kf6-kcmutils
Previously OOTB dependencies now resolved:
- libevdev → libinput → KWin real build path opened
- linux-input-headers → libevdev → libinput chain
- qt6-sensors → KWin Sensors dependency satisfied
Consolidate the active desktop path around redbear-full while landing the greeter/session stack and the runtime fixes needed to keep Wayland and KWin bring-up moving forward.
