slmanifests

The repo tool manifest for Sunlight Linux — a UEFI-only Linux distribution. This repository defines which Sunlight Linux source repositories make up a full checkout and at which revision they track.

It contains a single source of truth: default.xml.

Quick Start

Install repo (Google's multi-repository tool), then bootstrap a full Sunlight Linux tree:

repo init -u https://github.com/sunlightlinux/slmanifests.git -b main
repo sync -j4

repo init clones this manifest; repo sync clones (or updates) every project it lists.

Projects

Project	Path	Purpose
slkernel	kernel	Kernel packaging / config
slpkgs	pkgs	void-packages fork, rebranded to Sunlight Linux
slinit	src/init	Init system / service manager (PID 1), written in Go
slinstaller	src/installer	System installer
slmanifests	manifests	This manifest repo, checked out into the tree

After repo sync the tree looks like:

.
├── kernel/          # slkernel
├── pkgs/            # slpkgs
├── manifests/       # slmanifests (this repo)
└── src/
    ├── init/        # slinit
    └── installer/   # slinstaller

Branch Model

Every project tracks main (no pinned SHAs). The remote slgh points at https://github.com/sunlightlinux/, and repo sync defaults to 4 parallel jobs.

Releases

For a reproducible, auditable build, snapshot the current state of every project into a pinned manifest:

repo manifest -r -o release-<tag>.xml

The resulting file records an exact SHA per project, so

repo init -u https://github.com/sunlightlinux/slmanifests.git -m release-<tag>.xml
repo sync

reproduces that exact tree.

Useful Commands

Command	What it does

repo manifest	Print the fully resolved manifest
repo manifest -r -o snap.xml	Snapshot pinned SHAs into snap.xml
repo forall -c 'git status'	Run a command in every project
repo status	Show working-tree status across projects
