This change implements a dependency tracking daemon(7) system in init with
overridable init(5) configuration, parallel startup, readiness signaling,
rotating logs, reliable stopping, and handling of leaked processes.
The /etc/init/target file is replaced by the new /etc/init/default per the
new init(5) format. The old configuration is migrated upon upgrade using an
upgrade hook.
extfs(8) now signals readiness using READYFD for fast mounting.
Filesystems that fail to be repaired are now mounted read-only.
The mounting and filesystem checking code is synchronized with sysinstall.
The duplicated array_add utility function now protects against overflows.
tix-iso-bootconfig(8) gains the --init-target option.
tix-iso-liveconfig(8) gains the --daemons option.
This change imports the ports collection from the former porttix and srctix
repositories and converts them to port(5) files with metadata pointing to
the upstream release tarballs with patches checked into this repository.
Ports are now developed and versioned along with the operating system and
are automatically built per the PACKAGES environment variable. The patches
are licensed under the same license as the relevant ports.
Tix has gained support for the new port(5) format. tix-port(8) is the new
high level ports build even point that handles downloading pstream releases
into the new mirror cache directory, applying the patches, building the port
with the lower-level tix-build(8), and finally installing the binary
package. The new tix-vars(8) program parses port(5) files and the new
tix-rmdiff(8) program produces input for tix-rmpatch(8).
The old doc/ directory is discontinued in favor of manual pages documenting
the new ports system.
The obsolete porttix-create(8) and srctix-create(8) programs are removed.
roff(7) dictates that "Each sentence should terminate at the end of an
input line." Instead of doing this, Sortix manpages (incorrectly) used
double-spaces to separate sentences.
Additionally, fix a few small typos.
