2020-10-25services: guix: Make /etc/guix/acl really declarative by default....Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/39819>. Reported by Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer@gmail.com>. * gnu/services/base.scm (substitute-key-authorization): Symlink DEFAULT-ACL to /etc/guix/acl unconditionally.

2020-10-21doc: Cookbook links to /manual/devel, not /manual....Since the Cookbook is built from the 'master' branch, it should point to the manual from that same branch. * doc/build.scm (guix-mono-node-indexes, guix-split-node-indexes): Link to /manual/devel when %MANUAL is not "guix". Ludovic Courtès
2020-10-20services: databases: Don't specify a default postgresql version....Currently, if the postgresql package major version changes, this is going to break the service upon upgrade, because PostgreSQL will reject the data files from the differing major version of the service. Because it's important to either keep running a particular major version, or intentionally upgrade, I think the configuration would be better with no default. I think this is also going to be helpful when trying to assist users upgrading PostgreSQL. * gnu/services/databases.scm (<postgresql-configuration>): Remove default for postgresql. (postgresql-service-type): Remove the default value. * gnu/tests/databases.scm (%postgresql-os): Update accordingly. * gnu/tests/guix.scm (%guix-data-service-os): Update accordingly. * gnu/tests/monitoring.scm (%zabbix-os): Update accordingly. * gnu/tests/web.scm (patchwork-os): Update accordingly. * doc/guix.texi (PostgreSQL): Update accordingly.

2020-10-17doc: Allow code snippets in the cookbook to link to the manual....Until now, only code snippets in the manual itself would contain links to identifier definitions.

(pdf+html-manual): Likewise, and pass it to 'html-manual'. <top level>: Factorize 'version' and 'source'. Define 'guix-manual', 'mono-node-indexes', and 'split-node-indexes'.

2020-10-08offload: Improve load normalization and configurability....Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43773>. The computed normalized load was previously obtained by dividing the load average as found in /proc/loadavg by the number of parallel builds defined for a build machine. This normalized load didn't allow to compare machines with different number of cores, as the load average reported by /proc/loadavg can be as high as the number of cores; thus comparing that value to a fixed threshold of 2.0 would mean machines with multiple cores were more likely to be flagged as overloaded compared to single core machines. This can be fixed by normalizing using the available number of cores instead of the number of parallel jobs. * guix/scripts/offload.scm (<build-machine>)[overload-threshold]: New field. (node-load): Modify to return a normalized load value between 0 and 1, taking into account the number of cores available. (normalized-load): Remove procedure. (report-load): New procedure. (choose-build-machine): Adjust to use the modified 'node-load' and the new 'report-load' and 'build-machine-overload-threshold' procedures. (check-machine-status): Adjust. * doc/guix.texi (Daemon Offload Setup): Document the offload scheduler and the new 'overload-threshold' field. Maxim Cournoyer

Make it clear that it's necessary only when hacking on guix-daemon or when guix-daemon is not already running. Ludovic Courtès
2020-10-08doc: Developers don't need to run "make install" in Guix....Suggested by Emmanuel Agullo. * doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Mention that running "make install" is unnecessary. Ludovic Courtès
2020-10-08doc: Improve choice of options in service examples....* doc/guix.texi (Using the Configuration System): In example, set 'substitute-urls' rather than 'use-substitutes?', and set 'auto-login' for 'mingetty-configuration'. (Service Types and Services): In example, show 'extra-options' rather than 'use-substitutes?'. Ludovic Courtès
