This reverts commit f3626119d738f30b5ab59e76c105fd7b4c077ddc. This commit inadvertently broke a string freeze. Let's be nice to our translators and not do that.

2021-04-12services: postgresql: Change service default socket directory.Christopher Baines
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/46737>. PostgreSQL running with a different socket directory to the default one in the package itself breaks some services, this commit restores the previous behaviour where PostgreSQL by default will run with a socket directory that matches the default used by PostgreSQL packaged for Guix. Switching to a different default value can happen, but only alongside changing the PostgreSQL package. * gnu/services/databases.scm (<postgresql-config-file>)[socket-directory]: Change default to #false. * doc/guix.texi (Database Services): Update documentation, and specify a different value for disabling connections via sockets. * gnu/tests/guix.scm (%guix-data-service-os): Use default PostgreSQL behaviour. * gnu/tests/monitoring.scm (%zabbix-os): Likewise. * gnu/tests/web.scm (patchwork-os): Likewise.

This allows importing packages with complicated version specific dependency chains without the package symbol names colliding. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix import): Document the --pin-versions option. Mention that a specific version can be imported. Remove the experimental warning. * guix/import/go.scm (go-module->guix-package-name)[version]: Add optional argument. Rewrite the character translation in terms of string-map. (go-module->guix-package): Conditionally use dependencies whose symbol include their version, based no the value of the PIN-VERSIONS? argument. * guix/import/utils.scm (package->definition): Add a new case where the full version string is appended to the package symbol. * guix/scripts/import.scm (guix-import): Correctly print forms starting with '(define-public [...]'. * guix/scripts/import/go.scm (guix-import-go): Conditionally include the version in the package symbols defined.

2021-04-04doc: Remind developers to build Guix.Leo Famulari
The previous instructions were correct, but we got too many bug reports with a root cause of "did not build Guix yet". Other parts of the manual already instruct `make && make check`, so this makes the treatment of building Guix more consistent, too. * doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Instruct the user to run `make` when building Guix.
2021-04-03services: guix-publish: Add zstd compression by default.Ludovic Courtès
That way, the default config with (advertises? #t) and without a cache will offer zstd-compressed substitutes, which should lead to much higher throughput than gzip. * gnu/services/base.scm (default-compression): When 'guix-publish-configuration-cache' returns true, use higher level compression ratios.
