Per local/AGENTS.md Rule 2 (NO OVERLAY-STYLE PATCHES — AMENDED 2026), big
external projects must NOT have source forks in local/sources/. PipeWire's
Red Bear edits now live as external patches in local/patches/pipewire/,
matching the established mesa, libdrm, and wireplumber migration pattern.
The patch contains the redox_compat/ shim headers (byteswap.h,
sys/mman.h) that bridge relibc gaps for the meson subprojects, the
__redox__ guards in src/pipewire/mem.c for the memfd_create emulation
on the redox ramfs scheme, and the __redox__ stubs in
src/pipewire/thread.c for pthread_setname_np and
sched_get_priority_min/max. It also includes the README-redbear.md
fork gap analysis and a small number of build script adjustments for
cross-compilation under the Redox toolchain.
The local/sources/pipewire/ fork is preserved as a historical reference
of the migration baseline but no longer used by the build system. A
follow-up commit will remove it after we verify a clean rebuild from
upstream git + the external patch.
The recipe's REDBEAR_PATCHES_DIR uses ../../../.. (four dots) to
correctly resolve to local/patches/pipewire/ from the recipe's depth
(local/recipes/libs/pipewire/recipe.toml). The mesa and libdrm
migrations shipped a path-count typo (one short); this recipe uses
the correct depth per local/AGENTS.md.
