Subject: [bug#76063] [PATCH 0/3] Switch to the Shepherd's system log

Hello,

This patch series switches Guix System from Inetutils’s ‘syslogd’
to the Shepherd’s ‘system-log’.  Quoth ‘news.scm’:

  The advantages of this change are the fact that @code{system-log} can start
  logging earlier after boot and stop shortly before shutdown, along with full
  integration with the rest of @command{shepherd}, in particular with the new
  @command{log-rotation} service.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.

Ludovic Courtès (3):
  services: Add ‘system-log’ Shepherd service.
  services: Switch to ‘shepherd-system-log-service-type’ in
    ‘%base-services’.
  DRAFT: news: Add entry for ‘system-log’ switch.
