Subject: [bug#61750] [PATCH] gnu: shepherd: Build Shepherd from git.
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2023 17:03:57 +0000

Ludo, any hope that this gets merged?

i'm trying to debug something in shepherd (the SYSTEM call in shepherd misbehaves, but only when pulled on my server, not in a `guix system vm`). it will once again require me to use a custom shepherd, and pull/rebuild/reconfigure a gazillion times.

as for this patch: the only issue i know is that it cannot be cross compiled because of the help2man call. if you ask me, i would just get rid of that altogether. it's just added complexity for little gain.
