2023-06-14home: services: ssh: Allow unset boolean options in ssh-config.Efraim Flashner
From man 5 ssh_config: Unless noted otherwise, for each parameter, the first obtained value will be used. We want to allow falling through to the first explicitly chosen user defined value. * gnu/home/services.ssh.scm (define-maybe boolean): New configuration. (openssh-host)[forward-x11?, forward-x11-trusted?, forward-agent?, compression?]: Replace default value with maybe-boolean. * doc/guix.texi (Secure Shell): Update documentation to match the changes in the code.
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. (Managing Patches and Branches): New section. (Commit Policy): Simplify through referencing the new Managing Patches and Branches section. Signed-off-by: Christopher Baines <mail@cbaines.net>

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-pam-services): Should not make unix-pam-service if using-pam? is set to #f. (screen-locker-setuid-programs): Should not make program setuid program if using-setuid? is set to #f. (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.

The default was an empty list which would remove any ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file and replace it with a symlink to an empty file.

2023-04-25services: tor: Deprecate 'tor-hidden-service' procedure.Bruno Victal
Due to (now renamed) 'hidden-service' record type not being exported, the only way Onion services (formely hidden services) could have worked is through the now deprecated 'tor-hidden-service' procedure. This commit updates the Tor service documentation, corrects some inconsistently named accessors in <tor-configuration> record-type, renames and refactors tor-hidden-service-configuration to tor-onion-service-configuration using define-configuration and also exports it, allowing Onion services to be configured directly within a <tor-configuration> record. Lastly, it also deprecates the 'tor-hidden-service' procedure. * doc/guix.texi (Networking Services): Substitute mentions of “Hidden services” with “Onion Services”. Add a Tor Onion service configuration example. Document <tor-onion-service-configuration>. Remove mention of 'tor-hidden-service' procedure. * gnu/services/networking.scm: Export tor-configuration-tor, tor-configuration-config-file, tor-configuration-hidden-services, tor-configuration-socks-socket-type, tor-configuration-control-socket-path, tor-onion-service-configuration, tor-onion-service-configuration?, tor-onion-service-configuration-name, tor-onion-service-configuration-mapping.
