The rules directories were read one after the other, each sorted on its own. udev instead sorts all files from all directories together and lets a file mask one of the same name in a lower priority directory. The difference broke both standard override idioms without a sound: copying a rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d/ to edit it left the original running too, and symlinking a name to /dev/null disabled nothing. Collect everything with glob(), drop entries shadowed by a later directory, and sort the survivors by filename, same as udev and the tmpfiles.d handling in Finit itself. The -r directory sits above /etc/ so a test ruleset can override anything shipped. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
Finit is a fast, simple alternative to SysV init and systemd, designed for small and embedded Linux systems. It can also run on desktop and server systems, like finix.

- 🛠️ Buildroot embedded Linux,
- 📦 Debian GNU/Linux,
- ⛰️ Alpine Linux, and
- 🌌 Void Linux
Note
Finit can run on various Linux distributions, but the bundled install scripts are examples only. They have been tested on amd64 (x86_64) systems with standard configurations.
For embedded systems, see these Buildroot-based examples: myLinux, Infix, or br2-finit-demo.
