We are pleased to announce the GNU Shepherd version 0.8.1. This release
represents 49 commits by 3 people, bringing a new concurrent,
event-driven core, improved logging, and on-demand service startup.
Does Shepherd only run on Linux?
It is intended for use on GNU/Hurd, but it is supposed to work on every
POSIX-like system where Guile is available. In particular, it has been
tested on GNU/Linux.
So if you prefer to run the Hurd rather than Linux, it should work fine.
Tim, thanks!
I run FreeBSD and it uses kqueue instead of epoll so even if Guile
technically runs on FreeBSD, fibers do not.
I don't mind submitting a patch to make this happen.
Some pointers you might find helpful:
When Ludo’ originally announced this work⁰, this limitation was known,
but, fortunately, work is already underway to bring fibers to other
platforms via libevent¹.
