Joachim Nilsson 077a7e82e0 Debian now boots to X!
finit.conf:
        Use this as /etc/finit.conf on a Debian 6.0 based system with X
        installed and sysklogd instead of rsyslogd.  Works.

services:
        Alternative method for extending the finit boot procedure. Simply
        place this script file in an /etc/finit.d/ directory.  The script
        uses the standard run-parts tool to chain load other start scripts.

helpers.c:
        o New functions:
          - run(): home grown system() replacement
          - run_interactive(): display progress and status when called

        o Bugfix start_process(), make sure to use same signal setup for
          children as in run() and run_interactive(). Also, use execvp()
          instead of execv() to allow searching $PATH for executables.

finit.h:
        o Move signal specific code to new signal.h.
        o Bypass verbosity setting to let echo() always print to screen.

finit.c:
        o Make run_parts() the default, remove external deps, it works.

        o Use run() and run_interactive() to speed up execution further
          on embedded systems where forking is expensive.

        o Kernel cmdline "quiet" should not close STDIO since this makes
          it impossible to run some daemons and start scripts.  Instead,
          we let "quiet" toggle the finit verbosity setting.

        o Remove kernel cmdline "--verbose" (Upstart compat), to be used
          to enable verbose finit when kernel should be quiet.

        o Setup kernel specific settings in /etc/sysctl.conf

        o Fix D-Bus startup problems. Probably what caused X from not
          working initially. Silly rabbit.

        o Use system() workaround to start X, cannot get it to start
          at all using run() or run_interactive() at the moment.

signal.h:
        New file, header file for signal.c.  Was about time.

signal.c:
        Remove blocking of SIGCHLD from sig_setup(), instead we setup
        SIGCHLD early in sig_init() to handle fork() in run() & C:o.

Joachim Nilsson c0356b5c7a Massive cleanup to be able to boot Debian 6.0
Update license and copyright information details in all files.
Much cleanup by moving hard coded strings/data to #defines and using more
common default values for each such #define.

finit.c:
        o Make sdown[], startx[] allocated strings by default NULL
        o This fixes the issues where the shutdown handler segfaulted
        o Add ability to handle NULL input to build_cmd() by allocating space
        o Ignore kernel cmdline "quiet" if in debug mode
        o Add support for "network" stanza in finit.conf
        o Mount -n to skip removing /etc/mtab
        o Call swapon to enable swap if enabled in /etc/fstab
        o Cleanup /tmp, /var/run and /var/lock
        o Move sig_setup() *after* mount, sig_init() otoh runs early
        o Start initctl monitor before forking off startx/getty process
        o The startx process is now the console process. Only a getty is
          started when in debug mode. Otherwise only X is started if it
          is properly setup in /etc/finit.conf
        o NOTE: Currently X evdev does not work!
        o Support for /usr/sbin/services.sh has been replaced with finit
          now instead supporting builtin run-parts for /etc/finit.d/

helpers.c:
        o Bug fixes in run_parts() and also added chdir(oldpwd) at bottom.
        o New functions:
          - getuser() similar to getgroup()
          - cls() clear screen, only runs when not in debug mode
          - set_procname() used to set name "console" on console process
          - set_hostname() encapsulates /etc/hostname and sethostname()

signal.c:
        o Split sig_setup() in two: sig_init() and sig_setup()
          The former to be called as soon as possible, while latter is
          supposed to run when the base filesystem is properly up.
        o Remove hard coded distribution specific progress bar write()
        o Add debug messages to do_shutdown()
        o Remove any lingering sync files in sig_setup()

initctl.c:
        o Add debug messages and a new default: case to catch stray runlevels
