I believe this was introduced in the original '-r' commit, r231911 (2012).
At the time, the scope was limited to a 1 second sleep. r332518 (2018)
added '-R', which increased the potential duration of the affected interval
(from 1 to N seconds) by permitting arbitrary restart intervals.
Instead, handle SIGTERM normally during restart-sleep, when the monitored
process is not running, and shut down promptly.
(I noticed this behavior when debugging a child process that exited quickly
under the 'daemon -r -R 30' environment. 'kill <daemonpid>' had no
immediate effect and the monitor process slept until the next restart
attempt. This was annoying.)

supervised program. The existing -r option has a hard-coded delay of one
second. This change adds a -R option which takes a delay in seconds. This
can be used to prevent log spam and rapid restarts, similar to init(8)'s
behavior of adding a delay between rapid restarts when it's supervising a
program.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
There are various new options, documented in the man page, to send the
daemon's standard output and/or standard error to a file or to syslog.

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

uselessly rewrite it after every child restart.

process. Normally it will cause the child to exit followed by the
termination of the supervisor after removing the pidfile.
This looks like desirable behavior, because termination of a
supervisor usually supposes termination of its charge. Also it will
fix the issue with stale pid files after reboot due to init kills a
supervisor before its child exits.

not to leak the descriptor after exec(3). This raises the issue for
daemon(3) of the pidfile lock to be lost when the child process
executes.
To solve this and also to have the pidfile cleaned up when the program
exits, if a pidfile is specified, spawn a child to exec the command
and wait in the parent keeping the pidfile locked until the child
process exits and remove the file.

better to leave the pidfile open where it was. Add a note to the
man page describing pidfile strategies to use if the daemon is to
be run as a user other than root.
so pid files can be written in /var/run when started as root.
I do not expect this to cause any security issues, but if anyone objects
it could be easily reverted.
