When started with -c (the default when keventd is the device manager), gate the pidfile on the kernel's uevent_seqnum having been stable for 200ms. Up to now ready signaling with the pidfile was done right after coldplug() triggered the kernel to re-emit events, but before uev_run() had drained any of them, so <pid/keventd> really only meant "listening on netlink". With the gate, services that depend on <pid/keventd> can now assume /dev is populated and persistent symlinks are live. 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.

For working examples, see the 🚀 contrib/ section or these tutorials:
- 🛠️ 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.
