It's a bit old news but i have read this today:
https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/news/2024/12/the-shepherd-1.0.0-released/
I known it being made in Guile and the configuration seems declarative
(epoch and systemd style), but i have never used it.
Has anyone in this list tried it to know how it works?
Thanks in advance.
