[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

In the latest Shepherd as packaged in Guix, as well as when building it
from commit 63075c9, starting shepherd my home services (which I still
manually roll, not via 'guix home'):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
~/src/shepherd$ /gnu/store/5hcznfjzxvjbwixr5fkgpfd2w2zi4fxl-shepherd-1.0.99-git/bin/shepherd
GNU Shepherd 1.0.1 (Guile 3.0.9, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)
Starting service root...
Service root started.
Service root running with value #<<process> id: 2771 command: #f>.
Service root démarré.
shepherd/service.scm:236: Assertion (procedure? proc) failed.
While loading configuration file '/home/maxim/.config/shepherd/init.scm': "Throw to key `assertion-failed' with args `()'."
shepherd: error: "/home/maxim/.config/shepherd/init.scm": exception thrown while loading configuration file
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And none of the services I have defined in my init are run (file
attached):

$ shepherd status

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ herd status
Démarrés :
 + root
Arrêtés :
 - emacs
 - gpg-agent
 - ibus-daemon
 - jackd
 - workrave
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The services can be manually started, in the meantime, with 'herd start
emacs', etc.

[init.scm (application/octet-stream, attachment)]

This is because you should be writing this instead (info "(shepherd)
Managing User Services"):

  (perform-service-action root-service 'daemonize)

This is because ‘action’, which was deprecated in 0.10, now has a
different meaning (info "(shepherd) Defining Services").

HTH!

OK, I had missed the deprecation (I rarely ever peek into my
~/.local/state/shepherd/shepherd.log).

It works fine now, thank you!  Closing.
