Splashy 0.3.8 (Default branch)

Image Splashy is a boot splash program that doesn't require patching the Linux kernel. It paints graphic images directly to framebuffers using libdirectfb. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
/etc/lsb-base-logging.sh now checks whether it should unmount $STEPS_DIR before doing so. /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh now checks whether it should start keymap.sh/console-screen.sh on Debian systems. console-tools/config.d/splashy touches /dev/shm/splashy* files to signal lsb-base-loggin.sh that it needs to start a process like keymap.sh/console-screen.sh.Image
