2021-03-16gnu: Remove MongoDB.Léo Le Bouter
mongodb 3.4.10 has unpatched CVEs and mongodb 3.4.24 has some files in the release tarball under the SSPL, therefore we cannot provide mongodb while upholding to good security standards.

2021-03-15services/qemu-binfmt: Use the F flag and the static output of QEMU.Maxim Cournoyer
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/36117>. Before this change, the 'binfmt_misc' entries registered for QEMU would not be usable in container contexts outside of guix-daemon (without manually bind mounting file names). For example: $ docker run --rm arm32v7/debian true standard_init_linux.go:207: exec user process caused "no such file or directory" After this change, any container can make use of the QEMU binfmt_misc registrations, as their corresponding QEMU static binaries are fully pre-loaded by the kernel. * gnu/services/virtualization.scm (<qemu-platform>): Define using 'define-record-type*'. [flags]: New field, which defaults to "F" (fix binary). (%i386, %i486, %alpha, %arm, %armeb, %sparc, %sparc32plus, %ppc, %ppc64) (%ppc64le, %m68k, %mips, %mipsel, %mipsn32, %mipsn32el, %mips64, %mips64el) (%riscv32, %riscv64, %sh4, %sh4eb, %s390x, %aarch64, %hppa): Adjust.
