Red Bear OS is a full fork. All sources must be available from git clone with zero network access. Removed gitignore rules that excluded fetched source trees under recipes/*/source/, local/recipes/kde/*/source/, local/recipes/qt/*/source/, and vendor source trees. Build artifacts (target/, build/, source.tar, *.o, *.so) remain excluded. 127291 files added — kernel, relibc, base, bootloader, pkgar, all KDE/Qt frameworks, mesa, wayland, DRM drivers, and every other recipe source.
Zsh on Redox
Production recipe for Zsh 5.9 on Red Bear OS / Redox.
Status
- Builds: yes
- Runtime: basic shell works;
timesbuiltin is a no-op stub - Blockers:
times()not yet in relibc;getrusage()present but returns zeroed data (microkernel design)
Patch Summary
| File | Change | Reason |
|---|---|---|
configure.ac |
Remove getrusage from AC_CHECK_FUNCS |
Historical: relibc now has getrusage (returns zeroed data) |
Src/builtin.c |
Stub bin_times() |
times() unavailable in relibc |
Src/Builtins/rlimits.c |
Disable set_resinfo() / free_resinfo() |
These depend on getrusage() |
Configure Flags
--disable-gdbm— avoid GNU dbm dependency--disable-pcre— avoid PCRE dependency--disable-cap— avoid POSIX capabilities dependencyzsh_cv_sys_elf=no— skip ELF detection (not applicable on Redox)
Dependencies
ncursesw— wide-character terminal library
Install Targets
Zsh uses non-standard install targets:
make install.bin install.modules install.fns DESTDIR="${COOKBOOK_STAGE}"
Configuration Files
The recipe installs Manjaro-inspired system-wide zsh configuration:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
/etc/zsh/zshenv |
Environment variables for all zsh shells |
/etc/zsh/zprofile |
Login shell profile (sources /etc/profile for compatibility) |
/etc/zsh/zshrc |
Interactive shell config: history, completion, colors, prompt, aliases |
/etc/skel/.zshrc |
Template for new users |
/etc/skel/.zprofile |
Template for new users (login shell) |
Features (Manjaro-style)
- Colored prompt: green for user, red for root, with hostname and working directory
- Right-side prompt: shows exit code on error
- Tab completion: with menu selection, approximate matching, and colorized listings
- History: shared across sessions, ignores duplicates and leading-space entries
- Aliases:
ls,ll,la,grep,cp,mv,rmwith color and safety flags - Convenience:
AUTO_CD,CORRECT,NO_BEEP - Optional plugins:
zsh-syntax-highlighting,zsh-autosuggestions(loaded if available)
Future Work
- Re-enable
timesbuiltin when relibc gainstimes()support - Re-enable resource-limit info getrusage is now available (returns zeroed data)
- Evaluate enabling
gdbm,pcre, orcapif those libraries are ported - Package
