Joachim Wiberg ebc0ef62e6 libink/finit: properties, and org.finit on the system bus
Runlevel and version are state, not actions, so they belong behind
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties rather than another method each.

Finit also claims org.finit on the system bus when it finds one, so
ordinary D-Bus clients can reach it without knowing about
/run/finit/bus.  Opportunistic on purpose: no dbus-daemon is a normal
state for the systems Finit runs on, not an error to report.

Finit Test Suite

Finit comes with a set of tests and a small framework for running them. Contributors are encouraged to write new tests when implementing features, or fixing bugs.

Each test is run in isolation, in it's own namespace. Finit will therefore be able to be launched as PID 1. Since it's also running with it's own root directory it will be able to function properly without having any super user privileges in the host environment.

Running tests

To run the test suite, first build Finit, e.g:

./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix= --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-testserv-plugin
make -j9 clean all

Then run (parallel does not work atm):

make check

make check will set up the required assets for the test environment, and then run the full set of tests. The environment is not removed afterwards so at this point individual tests can be executed without having to run the entire test suite, which is handy when developing new tests or debugging existing test. To execute an individual test, simply invoke the script containing it:

./test/name-of-the-test.sh

Another way to run a single (or more) test(s) is to define the TESTS environment variable:

TESTS="start-kill-service" make check
