We are glad to announce version 1.0.1 of the Shepherd, the first bug-fix release in the 1.0.x series.
Check out the web site to learn more about the Shepherd 1.0.x series: https://gnu.org/software/shepherd/news/2024/12/the-shepherd-1.0.0-released/ • About The Shepherd is a service manager written in Guile that looks after the herd of daemons running on the system. It can be used as an “init” system (PID 1) and also by unprivileged users to manage per-user daemons—e.g., gpg-agent, tor, privoxy. It supports several daemon startup mechanisms, including inetd, systemd-style socket activation, and timers. The Shepherd is configured in Guile Scheme and can be extended in the same language. It builds on a simple memory-safe and callback-free programming model. The Shepherd is developed jointly with the GNU Guix project; it is used as the init system of Guix System and service manager of Guix Home. https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/ • Download Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/shepherd/shepherd-1.0.1.tar.gz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/shepherd/shepherd-1.0.1.tar.gz.sig Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums: cdb8f922694fcce17c464d13024794b53575e3d5 shepherd-1.0.1.tar.gz 895d0051e1cc473b1f79f63913777b4d15f89f16d0a723774176da102e2710c5 shepherd-1.0.1.tar.gz Verify the integrity of the tarball with ‘cksum -a sha256 --check’.

It now checks for system support and for a pre-loaded kernel image and does nothing if these two conditions are not meant. ** ‘log-rotation’ service explicitly skips non-regular files Previously, the log rotation service would attempt to rotate non-regular files with a reported size greater than the threshold; in practice that could potentially happen when specifying a directory as an external log file, and only if the threshold is set below 4096 bytes. Non-regular files are now explicitly skipped. ** ‘log-rotation’ no longer crashes with timers having a #:log-file When a timer service is given a specific #:log-file, the log rotation service could cause that service’s control fiber to crash when asking it to rotate its log file. This is now fixed. ** ‘log-rotation’ removes uncompressed file when using zstd Previously, when setting #:compression 'zstd, the log rotation service would leave uncompressed log files, in addition to the .zstd files. This is now fixed, using the ‘--rm’ flag of the ‘zstd’ command. ** Translations This version is fully translated in German, Romanian, Serbian, Swedish, and Ukranian; it is partially translated in seven other languages.
