KoshLinux

A Linux From Scratch built-in with tools written in Ruby language.

Its currently in development of tool chain build system, that will be used to build a linux system it self.

Some of major changes will be implemented in init and run levels systems and base system.

In an second redesign, I plan to redefine the linux file system, using an modern and intuitive FS layout, like GoboLinux, but I have no plans to maintain any compatibility or standards.

My modifications will includes:

• RubyInitd, a intelligent init and monitoring system.

• KoshLinux package manager system, based on YML or pure Ruby recipes to build and tar bz files for compiled packages.

• Ruby Web Interface to system admin and user preferences.

• All using SqLite to store configurations and service informations.

• And also managed by command line tools.

Features:

• Compile source code for package from a Recipe
• Really Simple Stupid dependency system implemented current Recipe
• Create a complete bootstrap system for compile a base system GNU based on Linux From Scratch Howtos ...

Requirements: You need somes packages installed on your system for start build a KoshLinux systems

• bash
• binutils
• bison
• yacc
• readlink
• bzip2
• coreutils
• diff
• find
• gawk
• gcc
• libc6
• grep
• gzip
• cat
• m4
• make
• patch
• perl
• sed
• tar
• texinfo
• git
• ruby

Usage:

It's simple. Just do:

git clone [email protected]:KoshTech/Kosh-Linux.git

Then cd into Build folder:

cd Kosh-Linux/DevelSystem/Build

If you want to use a development branch, do:

git checkout devel

You can use a lite script to check the Build dependence on you host machine:

./check_requirements.sh

Look at messages generated by the script. If no errors are visible, you system is Ok to build process. To start the build, run:

./build_system.rb
