Joachim Nilsson 744903d455 Alpine Linux finit.conf, clear space at end for easy script append

Restore original file layout somewhat, it's better if we clear the space
at the end of the file for easy `cat BOOTSTRAP.conf >>/etc/finit.conf`

HowTo: Finit on Alpine Linux 3.4-3.6

Mini HowTo using Finit to boot an Alpine Linux system. It is assumed that the user has already installed a compiler, C library header files, and other tools needed to build a GNU configure based project.

To start with you need to first install libuEv and libite, by default they install to /usr/local and Alpine's pkg-config does not look for libraries and header files there. So the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR environment variable has to be used:

alpine:~/finit# PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure \
    --enable-rw-rootfs            --enable-progress                    \
                                  --enable-x11-common-plugin           \
    --enable-alsa-utils-plugin    --enable-inetd-echo-plugin           \
    --enable-inetd-chargen-plugin --enable-inetd-daytime-plugin        \
    --enable-inetd-discard-plugin --enable-inetd-time-plugin           \
    --with-heading="Alpine Linux 3.6" --with-hostname=alpine

The plugins are optional, but the other configure flags are not.

alpine:~/finit# make all install

The installation skips /sbin/init, because it already exists, and Alpine is hard coded to use it. So you have to change the symlink yourself to point to finit instead of /bin/busybox.

alpine:~/finit# cd /sbin
alpine:/sbin# rm init
alpine:/sbin# ln -s finit init

Before rebooting, make sure to set up a /etc/finit.conf, and possibly also an /etc/rc.local for one-shot set up and initialization like keyboard language etc. You can use the files in this directory as templates -- check them both if they need to be tweaked for your installation, you may not run Dropbear SSH or speak Swedish ...
