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.
The symlink from recipes/wip/services/grub was using ../../../../local/
which goes above the repo root. Fixed to ../../../local/ which correctly
resolves from recipes/wip/services/ to local/recipes/core/grub.
install-grub.sh now searches both recipes/core/bootloader/target and
local/recipes/core/bootloader/target for the Redox bootloader artifact.
The WIP grub recipe (recipes/wip/services/grub) is now a full directory
symlink to local/recipes/core/grub instead of just recipe.toml, ensuring
COOKBOOK_RECIPE resolves to a directory that contains grub.cfg. This also
eliminates the duplicate recipe warning from the cookbook.
The GRUB recipe now fails hard (exit 1) if grub.cfg is missing instead of
just warning.
Ensures recipes/core/grub and the WIP conflict redirect are created
by apply-patches.sh, so a fresh sync-upstream + apply-patches cycle
preserves the GRUB integration.
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
