[bug#54207] gnu: shepherd: Convert to build from git instead of a release.
Commit Message
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.
closing this, because i've accidentall sent the suggested solution as a separate issue:
