Joachim Wiberg be28436c2d conf: drop the angle brackets from if, infer from the value
The block format spells conditions as bare strings everywhere else, so
requiring `if = "<usr/foo>"` left one sigil behind, carried over from
the line-based `if:` token.  A namespace separator already tells the two
apart: a value with a '/' is a condition, anything else is a service
name.

svc_ifthen() picks its mode from the start of the statement and applies
it to the whole, so a statement naming both kinds cannot be evaluated.
That is now an error, as are the old angle brackets, and either one
skips the block:

    /etc/finit.conf: mixed: if: cannot mix a service name with a
    condition in 'anchor,usr/enable-me', a statement must be all of
    one kind, skipping

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.
