Yes. Unit names in managed packages should not conflict, so no further
namespacing necessary. This way users can just sync/link units from
<guix-profile>/etc/systemd/{user,system} to the respective system
locations.
Btw, Shepherd works in user mode too ;-)
Here is a config that defines a service for "mcron":
$ cat ~/.config/shepherd/init.scm
(define mcron (make <service>
#:provides '(mcron)
#:start (make-forkexec-constructor
(list "/run/current-system/profile/bin/mcron"))
#:stop (make-kill-destructor)))
(register-services mcron)
I guess it would be better to re-use the Guix service definition, but
haven't gotten that far yet.
