vasilito aca2f2913d feat: atomic patch application, colored init output, XKB bridge, USB HID hardening
Build system (src/cook/fetch.rs):
- Atomic patch application: applies patches to staging directory (cp -al),
  atomically swaps on success, discards on failure — source tree is never
  left in a partially-patched state
- normalize_patch(): strips diff --git/index/new-file-mode headers that the
  build system's patch command does not recognize
- cleanup_workspace_pollution(): removes orphaned recipes/Cargo.toml and
  recipes/Cargo.lock to prevent workspace conflicts
- Added --allow-protected CLI flag to repo binary

Input stack (local/patches/base/P3-*.patch):
- P3-ps2d-led-feedback: PS/2 LED state handling + InputProducer migration
- P3-inputd-keymap-bridge: InputProducer enum, keymap bridge query
- P3-usbhidd-hardening: HID descriptor validation, static lookup table,
  8-button mouse support, transfer retry with exponential backoff
- P3-init-colored-output: ANSI-color coded init daemon output (green OK,
  red FAILED, yellow SKIP/WARN)

XKB bridge (local/recipes/system/redbear-keymapd/source/src/xkb.rs):
- Parses X11 xkb/symbols/* format, maps XKB keycodes to PS/2 scancodes,
  80+ X11 keysym names to Unicode, 4-level key support

Patch governance (local/patches/base/absorbed/README.md):
- Documents consolidation of P0-P3 patches into redox.patch

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.
