Red Bear OS
ebf0cad69d
The restored switch_root chdir set init's CWD to /scheme/initfs on the live image. login later restricts its namespace to DEFAULT_SCHEMES (no 'initfs' scheme) via mkns/setns; the inherited /scheme/initfs CWD fd then becomes unresolvable. Because relibc resolves paths through the CWD fd (AT_REDOX_CWD_FD), every subsequent file op in login hangs -- notably Command::spawn() loading the login shell binary never returns, so the shell never starts. Leaving the CWD inherited (as before the chdir was added) keeps spawn working across the login namespace switch; getcwd() in /usr binaries works without the chdir. Reverts the CWD half of 521c6ffe; the init-diag cleanup from that commit is retained.
Base
Repository containing various system daemons, that are considered fundamental for the OS.
You can see what each component does in the following list:
- audiod : Daemon used to process the sound drivers audio
- bootstrap : First code that the kernel executes, responsible for spawning the init daemon
- daemon : Redox daemon library
- drivers
- init : Daemon used to start most system components and programs
- initfs : Filesystem with the necessary system components to run RedoxFS
- ipcd : Daemon used for inter-process communication
- logd : Daemon used to log system components and daemons
- netstack : Daemon used for networking
- ptyd : Daemon used for pseudo-terminal
- ramfs : RAM filesystem
- randd : Daemon used for random number generation
- zerod : Daemon used to discard all writes and fill read buffers with zero

If you want to contribute to drivers read its README
Development
To learn how to do development with these system components inside the Redox build system you need to read the Build System and Coding and Building pages.
How To Build
It is recommended to build this system component via the Redox build system, you can learn how to do it on the Building Redox page.
To build and test outside the build system, install redoxer then use check.sh script to build or test:
./check.sh- Check build for x86_64./check.sh --arch=ARCH- Check build for specific ARCH (aarch64,i586,riscv64gc)./check.sh --all- Check build for all ARCH./check.sh --test- Check the base system boots up on x86_64
You can also use make install to inspect the content on ./sysroot, or make test-gui to test booting with orbital interactively.
