acpid lives at drivers/acpid/ (depth 2 in the base workspace). All
other depth-2 crates (pcid, hwd, inputd, vboxd, rtcd, thermald,
virtio-core, redoxerd) correctly use path = "../common" (1 '..') to
reach drivers/common/. acpid was the sole outlier using "../../common"
(2 '..'), which resolves to base/common/ — a path that has never
existed in this fork.
The build script's overlay-integrity auto-repair mechanism normally
papers over this (creating a transient symlink or rewriting the path
during staging). When that mechanism fails — as it did during
LG Gram Round 1 verification ("5 recipe.toml files could not be
restored") — the bug surfaces as a hard manifest-load failure:
error: failed to load manifest for workspace member
.../local/sources/base/drivers/acpid
failed to load manifest for dependency 'common'
failed to read .../local/sources/base/common/Cargo.toml
No such file or directory (os error 2)
The fix is one character: "../../common" → "../common". This makes
acpid consistent with the 8 other depth-2 crates and removes the
dependency on the build-script overlay-repair hack.
No semantic change — same crate, same workspace membership, just a
correctly-resolving path.
Base
Repository containing various system daemons, that are considered fundamental for the OS.
You can see what each component does in the following list:
- audiod : Daemon used to process the sound drivers audio
- bootstrap : First code that the kernel executes, responsible for spawning the init daemon
- daemon : Redox daemon library
- drivers
- init : Daemon used to start most system components and programs
- initfs : Filesystem with the necessary system components to run RedoxFS
- ipcd : Daemon used for inter-process communication
- logd : Daemon used to log system components and daemons
- netstack : Daemon used for networking
- ptyd : Daemon used for pseudo-terminal
- ramfs : RAM filesystem
- randd : Daemon used for random number generation
- zerod : Daemon used to discard all writes and fill read buffers with zero
How To Contribute
To learn how to contribute you need to read the following document:
If you want to contribute to drivers read its README
Development
To learn how to do development with these system components inside the Redox build system you need to read the Build System and Coding and Building pages.
How To Build
It is recommended to build this system component via the Redox build system, you can learn how to do it on the Building Redox page.
To build and test outside the build system, install redoxer then use check.sh script to build or test:
./check.sh- Check build for x86_64./check.sh --arch=ARCH- Check build for specific ARCH (aarch64,i586,riscv64gc)./check.sh --all- Check build for all ARCH./check.sh --test- Check the base system boots up on x86_64
You can also use make install to inspect the content on ./sysroot, or make test-gui to test booting with orbital interactively.
