2023-07-26services: mpd: Auto-detect mpd-output mixer type by default.Maxim Cournoyer
Relates to <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63082>. * gnu/services/audio.scm (mpd-output) [mixer-type]: Change default value from "none" to unspecified. * doc/guix.texi (Audio Services): Regenerate doc.
2023-07-26services: mpd: Log to syslog by default.Maxim Cournoyer
Rationale: the tristate value was awkward to deal with, the default log file name was odd (/var/log/mpd/log) and it required special attention to create the 'mpd' parent directory as root and chowning it to the MPD user. It also didn't match the default behavior of MPD, which is to log to systemd or syslog unless a log file is specified. * gnu/services/audio.scm (mpd-log-file-sanitizer): New procedure. (mpd-configuration) [log-file]: Remove default maybe value. Add sanitizer. (mpd-shepherd-service): Validate the log file parent directory exists and has the right permissions. Conditionally add syslogd to requirements. (mympd-log-to-sanitizer): New procedure. (mympd-configuration) [log-to]: Change type to maybe-string. Update doc and add sanitizer. (mympd-shepherd-service) [requirement]: Fix to use syslogd. Adjust accordingly. [start] Adjust accordingly. (mympd-log-rotation): Check log-to via maybe-value-set?. * doc/guix.texi (Audio Services): Update doc.
2023-07-26services: mpd: List log-level in decreasing verbosity order in doc.Maxim Cournoyer

2023-07-18gnu: Replace texlive-latex-base with texlive-latex-bin.Nicolas Goaziou
Although `latex-base' is clearly defined on CTAN, it isn't a proper TeX Live package. Since we're trying to follow as closely as possible this TeX distribution, we replace the package with the closest one, which is `texlive-latex-bin'. As a consequence, the #:TEXLIVE-LATEX-BASE argument becomes #:TEXLIVE-LATEX-BIN?, emphasizing the fact that the meaningful values for it are booleans. * gnu/packages/graphviz.scm (dot2tex)[propagated-inputs]: Remove TEXLIVE-GRAPHICS, TEXLIVE-LATEX-BASE. Add TEXLIVE-LATEX-BIN. * gnu/packages/plotutils.scm (asymptote)[native-inputs]: Remove TEXLIVE-LATEX-BASE, TEXLIVE-GRAPHICS, TEXLIVE-L3BACKEND.

2023-06-12doc: Move and rewrite the branching strategy.Christopher Baines
Move away from using staging and core-updates, and make the strategy independant of branch names. Keep the 300 dependent threshold for changes to master, as I don't have any specific reason to change this. Most importantly, require using guix-patches issues to coordinate merging of the branches, as I think that'll address the key issues that have shown up recently where it's been unclear which branch should be merged next. * doc/contributing.texi (Submitting Patches): Move the branching strategy to a new Managing Patches and Branches section.

2023-06-08doc: Use the term "Procedure" for definitions.Ludovic Courtès
In an effort to homogenize things, commit 3c40dfe2851dd4ef48d2711f9f3531c06afbe1f2 replaced: @deffn {Scheme Procedure} with: @defun However, the latter prints "Function" when all existing material about Scheme uses the term "procedure". Thus, for consistency, this commit switches to: @deffn {Procedure} * doc/guix.texi, doc/contributing.texi: Use "@deffn {Procedure}" consistently rather than "@defun" or similar.

2023-06-04services: screen-locker-service-type: Configurable PAM and setuid.muradm
screen-locker-service-type by default does both define PAM entry and make program setuid binary. Normally both methods are mutually exclusive, if binary has setuid set it does not really needs PAM, otherway around also similar, if PAM is enabled binary should not relay on setuid. Recent swaylock package now compiled with PAM support. When PAM support is compiled in, swaylock rejects executing if binary is also setuid program. This change turns screen-locker-configuration from strict PAM AND setuid to more flexible PAM AND/OR setuid. Allowing swaylock to be configured properly while supporting other screen locker preferences. * gnu/services/xorg.scm (screen-locker-configuration): Switch from define-record-type to define-configuration. [using-pam?]: New field to control PAM entry existence. [using-setuid?]: New field to control setuid binary existence.

(screen-locker-generate-doc): Internal function to generate configuration documentation. (screen-locker-service): Adapt to new screen-locker-configuration. * gnu/services/desktop.scm (desktop-services-for-system): Adapt to new screen-locker-configuration. * doc/guix.texi: Reflect new changes to screen-locker-configuration.
