vasilito facf0c92e0 feat: track all source trees in git — full fork offline-first model
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.

GUuid

A UUID, or Universally unique identifier, is intended to uniquely identify information in a distributed environment. For the definition of UUID, see RFC 4122.

The creation of UUIDs does not require a centralized authority.

UUIDs are of relatively small size (128 bits, or 16 bytes). The common string representation (ex: 1d6c0810-2bd6-45f3-9890-0268422a6f14) needs 37 bytes. [func@GLib.uuid_string_is_valid] can be used to check whether a string is a valid UUID.

The UUID specification defines 5 versions, and calling [func@GLib.uuid_string_random] will generate a unique (or rather random) UUID of the most common version, version 4.

UUID support was added to GLib in version 2.52.
