Hi all
This patchset fixes Bug#12935 (https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12935)
Summary: Addons where the initscript does not match the addon-name and addons with multiple initscripts are now listed on services.cgi since CU170. But addonctrl still expected addon name to be equal to initscript name; Hence starting/stopping/enabling/disabling of such addons was not possible. This has always been like that, but that problem was hidden as services.cgi also did not display those addon services.
After discussing this with Adolf on the Bug report, we concluded that we should adapt addonctrl to work with the new addon metadata Services-field instead.
I basically rewrote addonctrl to not only use the new services metadata but also to have better errorchecking and added the posibility to check if a service is currently enabled or disabled. As a result services.cgi no longer has to go checking the precense of runlevel initscripts, but can just ask addonctrl. I also added a warning to services.cgi if a runlevel initscript does not exists, to prevent the user from wondering why he can't enable a specific service. (Adolf pointed out some services don't install runlevel initscripts by default)
More details in the bugreport and in the commit-messages of the patches.
