[bug#54207] [PATCH] gnu: shepherd: Convert to build from git instead of a release.

[Attila Lendvai]

This increases the flexibility to inherit from this package, and use a
non-yet-released version of Shepherd in a Guix build while working on
Shepherd.

i forgot to check this:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix refresh --list-dependent shepherd | tr " " "\n" | wc -l
1349

i.e. this should go into staging.

Perhaps add a comment about why it a git origin is used
and autoconf & friends are in native-inputs?

  ;; Build from git and add Autotools inputs, to make developing
  ;; the shepherd easier

Also, to avoid having to go through staging for adding a feature
to the shepherd to use in Guix, WDYT of defining a package variant
of shepherd for use in Guix, and modifying the default Guix in
'shepherd-configuration' appropriately?

(define-public shepherd-for-guix
  (let ((commit ...)
        (revision ...))
    (package
      (inherit shepherd)
      (source [the git origin])
      (version (git-version ...))
      (native-inputs
        (modify-inputs (package-inputs shepherd)
          (prepend [autotools packages])))
      (description [a package variant for use in Guix]))))

Greetings,
Maxime.
