Announcement: dmd -0.5 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- About this release: This version (code named "sunflower-seeds-talking-with-pizza-crums") is a cleanup-release. Not only the maintainability of the code has been optimized, the consistency of the user-visible parts has also been improved (since they have been completely reviewed). Now we are well prepaired for some more significant changes. Note that dmd is still in a rather early alpha stage of development.
About the software: The dmd program is a "Daemon managing Daemons" (or "Daemons-managing Daemon"?), i.e. a service manager, that is entirely written in Guile, the extension language of the GNU project. It provides a replacement for the service-managing capabillities of SysV-init (or any other init) with a both powerfull and beautiful dependency-based system with a convenient interface. It is intended for use on GNU/Hurd, but it is supposed to work on every POSIX-like system where Guile is available. In particular, it has been tested on GNU/Linux.

Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang -- "A good programming language should have features that make the kind of people who use the phrase `software engineering' shake their heads disapprovingly." -- Paul Graham _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
