Yay, thanks for testing! I too have been running it for several days, stress-testing it a bit, and everything’s fine. :-) Unless a fly falls in the ointment, I’ll go ahead and release 0.9.0 tomorrow, followed by a merge of the ‘wip-shepherd-upgrade’ branch in Guix ‘master’. Thanks, Ludo’.

I don’t expect faster boot times on ‘%desktop-services’ because those are unchanged: either they’re started “greedily” early on (like elogind, network-manager, etc.), or they’re started lazily by dbus-daemon. There’s little room for boot time improvements here, AFAICS, but I’d love to be proved wrong. Thanks for testing and reporting back! Ludo’.

(Faster old boot times are a few days old; seems to vary with temperature or phase of the moon or something. So it is maybe not slower at all or maybe even 2 seconds faster.) I’m using none of the new Shepherd features; no sshd and no childhurds nor secrets service, just desktop services and GNOME. But still the new Shepherd is the right thing to do, I think.

The GNU Shepherd 0.9.0rc1 available for testing!
Hello Guix! A release candidate of the Shepherd 0.9.0 is available for testing! https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/shepherd/shepherd-0.9.0rc1.tar.gz https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/shepherd/shepherd-0.9.0rc1.tar.gz.sig SHA256: 6b7cdbb8d2509fca0c4d08b855031ea72c887a65828ae6493c2e5a25130c3c37 You can test it on Guix System with: guix time-machine --branch=wip-shepherd-upgrade -- \ system reconfigure … and on Guix Home: guix time-machine --branch=wip-shepherd-upgrade -- \ home reconfigure … Bug reports are most welcome. The branch changes the ‘ssh-daemon’ service to an inetd-style service: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/log?h=wip-shepherd-upgrade You’re welcome to propose patches to change other services to systemd or inetd style. The ‘make-forkexec-constructor/container’ procedure that we have doesn’t compose well (we’d have to make ‘make-inetd-forkexec-constructor/container’, etc.). But I think we could achieve the same thing differently, with wrappers, so that we can have inetd and systemd services running in containers too. Future work… There’s also more work we can do in future Shepherd versions, such as adding ‘herd journal SERVICE’, moving state out of , adding a REPL :-), etc., but what we have today is a reasonable milestone IMO. Besides, a new POT file should be available soon if you’d like to help translate the new release in your language: https://translationproject.org/domain/shepherd.html Ludo’. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
