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
Red Bear is a fork/overlay on top of Redox. The upstream build
system wasn't designed for forks — it loses all cached stages on
make clean with no recovery path.
This commit adds a git-tracked build cache:
- local/cache/pkgar/{pkg}/stage.pkgar — per-package cache files
- cache-sync.sh: sync built packages → git-tracked cache
- cache-sync.sh --restore: restore cache → recipe targets
- cache-sync.sh --commit: sync + git commit
- Auto-restore before build, auto-sync after build
Cache survives: make clean, make distclean, git clone, upstream rebase.
Recovery from clean: seconds (restore from git) vs hours (full rebuild).
