improvements to the code.


• About

  The GNU Daemon Shepherd or GNU Shepherd is a service manager written
  in Guile that looks after the herd of system services.  It provides a
  replacement for the service-managing capabilities of SysV-init (or any
  other init) with a dependency-based system with a convenient
  interface.  The GNU Shepherd may also be used by unprivileged users to
  manage per-user daemons (e.g., tor, privoxy, mcron, etc.)  It is
  written in Guile Scheme, and is configured and extended using Guile.

  The GNU Shepherd is developed jointly with the GNU Guix project; it is
  used as the init system of Guix, GNU’s advanced GNU/Linux distribution.

    https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/shepherd/shepherd-0.8.1.tar.gz
    https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/shepherd/shepherd-0.8.1.tar.gz.sig

    https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/shepherd/shepherd-0.8.1.tar.gz.sig

  Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums:

  2964502388aa74207e6761c2ff77df69369738b0  shepherd-0.8.1.tar.gz
  d32fe58694bb5350b5fc7285cf0ca0d9c7d24221aa5969d6c464ee3e3ac83f75  shepherd-0.8.1.tar.gz

  [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
  .sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
  and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

    gpg --verify shepherd-0.8.1.tar.gz.sig

  If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
  then run this command to import it:

    gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org \
        --recv-keys 3CE464558A84FDC69DB40CFB090B11993D9AEBB5

  and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

  This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
    Autoconf 2.69
    Automake 1.16.2
    Makeinfo 6.7
    Help2man 1.47.13
