Add git sources, check-updates, repos submodule, improve docs
dpack features: - Git source support: packages can specify [source].git for cloning instead of tarball download. Supports branch, tag, and commit pinning. SHA256 can be set to "SKIP" for git sources. - check-updates command: queries upstream APIs (GitHub releases/tags) to find available updates. Packages set [source].update_check URL. - CheckUpdates CLI subcommand wired into main.rs Package changes: - FreeCAD updated to weekly-2026.03.19 development builds - dwl: added update_check URL and git source documentation - src/repos extracted to standalone git repo (danny8632/repos.git) and added as git submodule Documentation: - All 7 README.md files updated with detailed requirements sections including which Linux distros are supported, exact package names for Arch/Ubuntu/Fedora, and clear notes about which components require Linux vs can be built on macOS - dpack README: added git source and check-updates documentation Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

|

|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- A Linux host system (any recent distro)
|
||||
- ~20GB free disk space
|
||||
- Internet access (for downloading sources)
|
||||
- Host tools: bash, gcc, g++, make, bison, gawk, m4, texinfo, xz, wget/curl
|
||||
**Environment:** Any Linux distribution (x86_64). This does NOT run on macOS or Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
The toolchain bootstrap is a cross-compilation step that runs entirely on a Linux host and produces a self-contained chroot targeting the DarkForge hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
**Tested host distros:**
|
||||
- Arch Linux (recommended)
|
||||
- Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+
|
||||
- Fedora 38+
|
||||
|
||||
**Required packages:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Arch Linux
|
||||
sudo pacman -S base-devel wget texinfo
|
||||
|
||||
# Ubuntu / Debian
|
||||
sudo apt install build-essential bison gawk m4 texinfo xz-utils wget
|
||||
|
||||
# Fedora
|
||||
sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" && sudo dnf install texinfo wget
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Minimum versions:** GCC 12+, GNU Make 4.x, Bash 5.x, Python 3.10+
|
||||
|
||||
**Disk space:** ~20GB for the full toolchain build (sources + build artifacts)
|
||||
|
||||
**Dedicated partition:** You need a separate partition (or loopback image) mounted at `$LFS` (default: `/mnt/darkforge`). This becomes the root of the new system.
|
||||
|
||||
### Host System Verification
|
||||
|
||||
Check your host has the required tools:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Verify essential tools are present
|
||||
for cmd in bash gcc g++ make bison gawk m4 texinfo xz wget; do
|
||||
command -v $cmd >/dev/null && echo "OK: $cmd" || echo "MISSING: $cmd"
|
||||
done
|
||||
|
||||
# Check GCC version (need 12+ for znver4/znver5 support)
|
||||
gcc --version | head -1
|
||||
```
