;; Announcement: dmd -0.7 -*- scheme -*- (define about-this-release "This is the second public release of dmd, the `Daemon managing Daemons' (or `Daemons-managing Daemon'?). This version adds many convenient features and is thus a huge step forward, but still it is experimental software and you should expect it to break.")
(define about-the-software "The dmd program is a service manager, i.e. on the GNU system (which is the primary target), it replaces /sbin/init completely, on systems which are similar to Unix (e.g. GNU/Linux) it replaces the part of /sbin/init that is responsible for switching runlevels (/etc/rc?.d and /etc/init.d come to mind), respawning services (/etc/inittab comes to mind) and similar things.") (get-it-from "<http://www.8ung.at/shell/dmd--0.7.tar.gz>") (define requirements "It is written for Guile 1.6. That is all you need. Using it with Guile 1.4 will require small modifications, but better don't bother.") (define future-directions "Various things will be added in the future, including runlevels, an update-rc.d implementation for Debian, support for existing SysV Init infrastructure, internationalization, evaluating configuration code in a sandbox, a graphical interface frontend and many others.") ;; Cheers, ;; GNU/Wolfgang _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
