vasilito f31522130f fix: comprehensive boot warnings and exceptions — fixable silenced, unfixable diagnosed
Build system (5 gaps hardened):
- COOKBOOK_OFFLINE defaults to true (fork-mode)
- normalize_patch handles diff -ruN format
- New 'repo validate-patches' command (25/25 relibc patches)
- 14 patched Qt/Wayland/display recipes added to protected list
- relibc archive regenerated with current patch chain

Boot fixes (fixable):
- Full ISO EFI partition: 16 MiB → 1 MiB (matches mini, BIOS hardcoded 2 MiB offset)
- D-Bus system bus: absolute /usr/bin/dbus-daemon path (was skipped)
- redbear-sessiond: absolute /usr/bin/redbear-sessiond path (was skipped)
- daemon framework: silenced spurious INIT_NOTIFY warnings for oneshot_async services (P0-daemon-silence-init-notify.patch)
- udev-shim: demoted INIT_NOTIFY warning to INFO (expected for oneshot_async)
- relibc: comprehensive named semaphores (sem_open/close/unlink) replacing upstream todo!() stubs
- greeterd: Wayland socket timeout 15s → 30s (compositor DRM wait)
- greeter-ui: built and linked (header guard unification, sem_compat stubs removed)
- mc: un-ignored in both configs, fixed glib/libiconv/pcre2 transitive deps
- greeter config: removed stale keymapd dependency from display/greeter services
- prefix toolchain: relibc headers synced, _RELIBC_STDLIB_H guard unified

Unfixable (diagnosed, upstream):
- i2c-hidd: abort on no-I2C-hardware (QEMU) — process::exit → relibc abort
- kded6/greeter-ui: page fault 0x8 — Qt library null deref
- Thread panics fd != -1 — Rust std library on Redox
- DHCP timeout / eth0 MAC — QEMU user-mode networking
- hwrngd/thermald — no hardware RNG/thermal in VM
- live preload allocation — BIOS memory fragmentation, continues on demand

To make a release of Wayland, follow these steps.
0. Verify the test suites and codebase checks pass. All of the
tests should either pass or skip.
$ ninja -C build/ test
1. Update the first stanza of meson.build to the intended version.
Then commit your changes:
$ export RELEASE_NUMBER="x.y.z"
$ export RELEASE_NAME="[alpha|beta|RC1|RC2|official|point]"
$ git status
$ git commit meson.build -m "build: bump to version $RELEASE_NUMBER for the $RELEASE_NAME release"
$ git push
2. Run the release.sh script to generate the tarballs, sign and
upload them, and generate a release announcement template.
3. Compose the release announcements. The script will generate a
wayland-x.y.z-announce.eml file with a list of changes and tags.
Prepend it with a human-readable listing of the most notable
changes. For x.y.0 releases, indicate the schedule for the x.y+1.0
release.
4. PGP sign the release announcements and send them to
wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
5. Update releases.html in wayland-web with links to tarballs and
the release email URL.
The wl_register_release script in wayland-web will generate an HTML
snippet that can be pasted into releases.html (or e.g. in emacs
insert it via "C-u M-! scripts/wl_register_release x.y.z") and
customized.
Once satisfied:
$ git commit ./releases.html -m "releases: Add ${RELEASE_NUMBER} release"
$ git push
$ ./deploy
For x.y.0 releases, also create the release series x.y branch. The x.y
branch is for bug fixes and conservative changes to the x.y.0 release,
and is where we create x.y.z releases from. Creating the x.y branch
opens up master for new development and lets new development move on.
We've done this both after the x.y.0 release (to focus development on
bug fixing for the x.y.1 release for a little longer) or before the
x.y.0 release (like we did with the 1.5.0 release, to unblock master
development early).
$ git branch x.y [sha]
$ git push origin x.y
The master branch's meson.build version should always be (at least)
x.y.90, with x.y being the most recent stable branch. The stable
branch's meson.build version is just whatever was most recently
released from that branch.
For stable branches, we commit fixes to master first, then cherry-pick
them back to the stable branch.
