Survey of the working tree found 83 tracked files
that no longer exist on disk (tracked-but-missing).
Most were inside source/ dirs (extraction differences
between git revisions) and are out of scope for this
commit. The 28 non-source tracked-but-missing files
fell into these categories:
1. Broken self-referential symlinks in driver and
tui recipes (5 files):
- local/recipes/drivers/ehcid/ehcid ->
../../local/recipes/drivers/ehcid (loops)
- local/recipes/drivers/ohcid/ohcid -> ...
- local/recipes/drivers/uhcid/uhcid -> ...
- local/recipes/drivers/usb-core/usb-core -> ...
- local/recipes/tui/mc/mc -> ...
These were created by the now-removed
apply-patches.sh symlink-overlay system. Per
AGENTS.md § 'NO OVERLAY-STYLE PATCHES', the
overlay pattern is retired. Recipes now use the
`path = 'source'` form in [source] blocks
pointing at the in-tree Red Bear fork. The
self-referential symlinks broke because the
overlay indirection was removed.
2. Broken absolute-path symlinks in gpu/driver
recipes (2 files):
- local/recipes/gpu/drivers/linux-kpi/source
-> /mnt/data/homes/kellito/Builds/rbos/...
- local/recipes/gpu/drivers/redox-driver-sys/source
-> /mnt/data/homes/kellito/Builds/rbos/...
These were committed on a different filesystem
layout. The actual source trees are in
`local/sources/{linux-kpi,redox-driver-sys}/`
and are loaded via `path = 'source'` config.
3. Tracked empty `~` (emacs backup) files in
autotools-generated source dirs (13 files).
Autotools regen produces `configure~`,
`config.h.in~`, etc. whenever a developer runs
`autoreconf` in the source dir. These are
ephemeral working files, not upstream source.
Re-running the cookbook's autoreconf will
regenerate them on the next fetch.
4. Tracked-but-missing upstream WIP recipes
(12 recipes, 596 files):
- recipes/wip/dev/build-system/{meson,ninja-build}
- recipes/wip/dev/other/{bison,flex}
- recipes/wip/libs/gnome/libepoxy
- recipes/wip/libs/other/m4
- recipes/wip/libs/qt/qt6/{qt6-sensors,
qt6-sensors-local}
- recipes/wip/wayland/qt6-wayland-smoke
- recipes/wip/x11/{libxau,libxcb,x11proto}
These were tracked in the upstream Redox WIP
area but the underlying dirs/files no longer
exist on disk (likely removed when upstream
WIP was reorganized). They were never
referenced by any `config/redbear-*.toml`
and have no surviving tree dependencies.
5. Top-level `gparted-git/` orphan (4 files):
A staging dir from a previous attempt to add a
gparted recipe (RBPKGBUILD + import/). The recipe
was never finished and the postmortem H-4 says
it was 'removed' but the dir persisted.
6. `recipes/gpu/drivers` tracked as a file blob
but working tree has it as a directory.
Tree conflict from a prior overlay layout.
.gitignore additions:
- `*\~` (emacs backup)
- `.*.swp`, `.*.swo` (vim swap)
These patterns prevent future accidental commits
of ephemeral editor / autotools-regen files.
Net effect: 617 files removed, 1,304,942 lines
deleted from tracked history, 0 lines added. The
working tree is now 0 tracked-but-missing files
outside of source/ dirs (source/ extraction
differences are out of scope for this commit).
LIBCHARSET - portable character set determination library
This library provides a function which determines the character set / encoding
of text in the currently selected locale (the LC_CTYPE locale facet).
It is useful for portable programs which need to process text in other
encodings and locales than the currently selected one. Possible uses:
* Use of Unicode in POSIX compliant applications.
* Conversion of text between the current locale's encoding and UTF-8 (or
any other given encoding).
* Mail agents.
In theory, this would be very simple: POSIX provides the nl_langinfo function,
in such a way that
nl_langinfo (CODESET)
returns the encoding name. But the nl_langinfo function still does not exist
on some systems, and on those where it exists it returns unstandardized
variations of the encoding names, like (on Solaris) "PCK" for "Shift_JIS".
This library fixes these flaws and provides a function
const char * locale_charset (void);
It determines the current locale's character encoding, and canonicalizes it
into one of the canonical names listed in localcharset.h. The result must
not be freed; it is statically allocated. If the canonical name cannot be
determined, the result is a non-canonical name.
