<h1> s6-linux-init </h1>
<h2> What is it ? </h2>
<p>
s6-linux-init is a set of minimalistic tools to create a
<a href="http://skarnet.org/software/s6/">s6</a>-based init
system, including a <tt>/sbin/init</tt> binary, on a Linux kernel.
</p>
<p>
s6-linux-init is meant to automate creation of scripts revolving
around the use of other skarnet.org tools, especially s6, in order
to provide a complete booting environment with integrated supervision
and logging without having to hand-craft all the details.
</p>
<p>
Please read the documentation for the
<a href="s6-linux-init-maker.html">s6-linux-init-maker</a> program
carefully, but if you're impatient, you can also read this
<a href="quickstart.html">quickstart guide</a>, which includes
a small FAQ.

<h2> Installation </h2>
<h3> Requirements </h3>
<ul>
<li> A Linux-based system with a standard C development environment </li>
<li> GNU make, version 4.0 or later </li>
<li> <a href="http://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/">skalibs</a> version
2.3.5.1 or later </li>
<li> <a href="http://skarnet.org/software/execline/">execline</a> version
2.1.2.2 or later </li>
<li> <a href="http://skarnet.org/software/s6-portable-utils/">s6-portable-utils</a> version
2.0.5.0 or later </li>
<li> <a href="http://skarnet.org/software/s6-linux-utils/">s6-linux-utils</a> version
2.0.2.1 or later </li>
<li> <a href="http://skarnet.org/software/s6/">s6</a> version
2.1.4.0 or later </li>
</ul>
<p>
When you <em>build</em> s6-linux-init, the
<a href="s6-linux-init-maker.html">s6-linux-init-maker</a> tool
is created; then you <em>run</em> that tool to create an init script,
and then you can <em>boot</em> your system on that init script.
</p>
<p>
skalibs and execline are <em>build-time</em> dependencies.
There are no <em>run-time</em> dependencies.
And every listed package, save skalibs, is a <em>boot-time</em> dependency.
If you are using the shared version of the skalibs library,
then skalibs also becomes a <em>run-time</em> and a
<em>boot-time</em> dependency.
