Until now, the /config/system ROM was not handled by the sculpt manager but solely managed by the user. Its main purpose was the ability to reset or power-down the machine by manually modifying the 'state' attribute. However, down the road, we'd like to enable the sculpt manager to drive this state, e.g., to implement the multi-staged loading of drivers, or to drive suspend-resume states. The support such scenarios, the 'system' state has been moved from /config/system to /config/managed/system.
This directory is a source-code repository containing Genode-specific services and applications. In contrast to the components that come with the 'os' repository, programs contained in 'gems' are able to leverage the functionalities provided by higher-level repositories such as 'libports'. To use the 'gems' repository, make sure to also add those repositories to your build configuraion.
