RECIPES — PACKAGE RECIPE SYSTEM

26 categories of package recipes. Each recipe = recipe.toml defining fetch→build→stage.

WHERE TO LOOK

Task	Location
Add a Rust app	recipes/<category>/<name>/recipe.toml with template = "cargo"
Add a C/C++ app	template = "cmake" or "configure" or "custom"
Find a dependency	Search recipes/*/recipe.toml for package name
Fix a port	Look for redox.patch in the recipe dir
Track upstream	Check upstream = field in [source]

HOW TO ADD A RECIPE

mkdir -p recipes/<category>/<name>
cat > recipes/<category>/<name>/recipe.toml << 'EOF'
#TODO: describe what's missing (required for WIP)

[source]
git = "https://github.com/user/repo.git"
upstream = "https://github.com/original/repo.git"
branch = "redox"

[build]
template = "cargo"  # or cmake, meson, make, configure, custom
dependencies = [
    "dep1",
    "dep2",
]

Recipe Environment Variables

Variable	Purpose
COOKBOOK_SOURCE	Extracted source directory
COOKBOOK_STAGE	Install target (staging dir)
COOKBOOK_SYSROOT	Sysroot with built dependencies
COOKBOOK_TARGET	Target triple (e.g. x86_64-unknown-redox)
COOKBOOK_CARGO	Cargo with correct target
COOKBOOK_MAKE	Make with correct flags

Build Templates

Template	Use For
cargo	Rust projects
cmake	CMake-based C/C++
meson	Meson-based projects
configure	GNU Autotools
make	Simple Makefile projects
custom	Anything else (use script = """...""")

CONVENTIONS

• WIP recipes: MUST start with #TODO comment
• Production recipes: BLAKE3 hash required for tar sources
• Patches: redox.patch in recipe dir, applied automatically
• Source: git = for git repos, tar = for tarballs, can use both
• Fork tracking: git = points to Redox fork, upstream = to original
• Dynamic linking: use DYNAMIC_INIT macro in custom scripts
