Subject: Announcement: dmd -0.7
Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2003 21:44:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030402194451.GA258@gmx.de> (raw)
;; 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,
