libink was written peer to peer, where one connection is one client and one principal. Attaching to a message bus breaks both halves of that, and two things followed from it. Signals never reached the system bus. Fan-out is gated on the peer having sent AddMatch, but a broker subscribes for its own clients and never sends us one, so every ServiceStateChanged was dropped on the floor. A connection attached with LINK_ATTACH_BROKER gets them all. Hello, AddMatch and RemoveMatch write per-connection state. Shared by every caller behind a broker, that lets one sender exhaust the match cap or drop another's rule, so we leave all three to the bus, whose job they are.

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.
