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.
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.
