[bug#61750] [PATCH] gnu: shepherd: Build Shepherd from git.

[Attila Lendvai]

Ludo, any hope that this gets merged?

i'm trying to debug something in shepherd (the SYSTEM call in shepherd 
misbehaves, but only when pulled on my server, not in a `guix system vm`). it 
will once again require me to use a custom shepherd, and 
pull/rebuild/reconfigure a gazillion times.

as for this patch: the only issue i know is that it cannot be cross compiled 
because of the help2man call. if you ask me, i would just get rid of that 
altogether. it's just added complexity for little gain.
