=E2=80=A2 About

  The GNU Daemon Shepherd or GNU Shepherd is a service manager written
  in Guile that looks after the herd of system services.  It provides a
  replacement for the service-managing capabilities of SysV-init (or any
  other init) with a dependency-based system with a convenient
  interface.  The GNU Shepherd may also be used by unprivileged users to
  manage per-user daemons (e.g., tor, privoxy, mcron, etc.)  It is
  written in Guile Scheme, and is configured and extended using Guile.

  The GNU Shepherd is developed jointly with the GNU Guix project; it is
  used as the init system of Guix, GNU=E2=80=99s advanced GNU/Linux distrib=
ution.

  [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
  .sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
  and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

    gpg --verify shepherd-0.9.1.tar.gz.sig

  If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
  then run this command to import it:

    gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org \

  and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

=E2=80=A2 Changes since version 0.9.0 (excerpt from the NEWS file)

  ** =E2=80=98make-inetd-constructor=E2=80=99 now accepts a list of endpoin=
ts

  In 0.9.0, =E2=80=98make-inetd-constructor=E2=80=99 would take a single ad=
dress as returned by
  =E2=80=98make-socket-address=E2=80=99.  This was insufficiently flexible =
since it didn=E2=80=99t let
  you have an inetd service with multiple endpoints.  =E2=80=98make-inetd-c=
onstructor=E2=80=99
  now takes a list of endpoints, similar to what =E2=80=98make-systemd-cons=
tructor=E2=80=99
  already did.

  For compatibility with 0.9.0, if the second argument to
  =E2=80=98make-systemd-constructor=E2=80=99 is an address, it is automatic=
ally converted to a
  list of endpoints.  This behavior will be preserved for at least the whole
  0.9.x series.

  ** =E2=80=98AF_INET6=E2=80=99 endpoints are now interpreted as IPv6-only

  In 0.9.0, using an =E2=80=98AF_INET6=E2=80=99 endpoint for =E2=80=98make-=
systemd-constructor=E2=80=99 would
  usually have the effect of making the service available on both IPv6 and =
IPv4.
  This is due to the default behavior of Linux, which is to bind IPv6 addre=
sses
  as IPv4 as well (the default behavior can be changed by running
  =E2=80=98sysctl net.ipv6.bindv6only 1=E2=80=99).

  =E2=80=98AF_INET6=E2=80=99 endpoints are now interpreted as IPv6-only.  T=
hus, if a service is
  to be made available both as IPv6 and IPv4, two endpoints must be used.

  ** =E2=80=98shepherd=E2=80=99 reports whether a service is transient
  ** =E2=80=98herd status=E2=80=99 shows whether a service is transient
  ** Fix possible file descriptor leak in =E2=80=98make-inetd-constructor=
=E2=80=99
     (<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55223>)
  ** Fix value of =E2=80=98LISTEN_FDNAMES=E2=80=99 variable set by =E2=80=
=98make-systemd-constructor=E2=80=99
  ** Fix crash when logging IPv6 addresses
  ** =E2=80=98start-in-the-background=E2=80=99 returns *unspecified* instea=
d of zero values
