Red Bear OS
e45ce4d57a
PackageGroup struct with description + package list. Groups are defined in [[package_groups.NAME]] TOML sections and resolved by resolve_package_groups() during Config::from_file(). Supports nested groups (groups referencing other groups) with cycle detection. Explicit [packages] entries override group membership. Adds PartialEq derive to PackageConfig for dedup during merge. 3 unit tests: nested groups, explicit override, no-groups compat.
Redox OS installer
The Redox installer will allow you to produce a Redox OS image. You will be able to specify:
- Output device (raw image, ISO, QEMU, VirtualBox, drive)
- Filesystem
- Included packages
- Method of installation (from source, from binary)
- User accounts
You will be prompted to install dependencies, based on your OS and method of installation. The easiest method is to install from binaries.
Usage
It is recommended to compile with cargo, in release mode:
cargo build --release
By default, you will be prompted to supply configuration options. You can use the scripted mode by supplying a configuration file:
cargo run --release -- config/example.toml
An example configuration can be found in config/example.toml.
Unsuplied configuration will use the default. You can use the general.prompt
setting to prompt when configuration is not set. Multiple configurations can
be specified, they will be built in order.
Embedding
The installer can also be used inside of other crates, as a library:
# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
redox_installer = "0.1"
// src/main.rs
extern crate redox_installer;
fn main() {
let mut config = redox_installer::Config::default();
...
redox_installer::install(config);
}
