2020-10-19maint: update-guix-package: Prevent accidentally breaking guix pull.Maxim Cournoyer
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43893>. This changes the 'update-guix-package' tool so that it: 1. Always uses a clean checkout to compute the hash of the updated 'guix' package. 2. Ensures the commit used in the updated 'guix' package definition has already been pushed upstream. * build-aux/update-guix-package.scm (%savannah-guix-git-repo-push-url): New variable. (with-input-pipe-to-string, with-temporary-git-worktree): New syntaxes. (find-origin-remote, git-add-worktree): New procedures. (commit-already-pushed?): New predicate. (main): Check the commit used has already been pushed upstream and compute the hash from a clean checkout. * doc/contributing.texi (Updating the Guix Package): Document it. * .dir-locals.el (scheme-mode): Fix indentation of with-temporary-git-worktree.
2020-10-19doc: Produce stylable HTML for @deftp, @deffn, etc.Ludovic Courtès

Replace that with CSS classes. * doc/build.scm (html-manual-identifier-index)[build]: Adjust to handle rewritten forms of <dt> entries. * doc/build.scm (syntax-highlighted-html)[build][syntax-highlight]: Handle <dt> forms and replace them. [highlight-definition, space?]: New procedures.

(for-all-languages, merge-index-alists): New procedures. <top level>: Rename 'mono-node-indexes' and 'split-node-indexes' to 'guix-mono-node-indexes' and 'guix-split-node-indexes' respectively. Add 'mono-node-indexes' and 'split-node-indexes' defined as calls to 'merge-index-alists'.
2020-10-17doc: Allow code snippets in the cookbook to link to the manual.Ludovic Courtès
Until now, only code snippets in the manual itself would contain links to identifier definitions. Now snippets in the cookbook also link to definitions in the manual. * doc/build.scm (html-manual): Add #:mono-node-indexes and #:multi-node-indexes and pass it to 'syntax-highlighted-html'. (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'.

2020-10-17doc: Remove 'build.scm' from the source of the manual.Ludovic Courtès
That way we no longer have to rebuild the whole manual when fiddling with 'build.scm'. * doc/build.scm <top level>: Define 'select?' and pass it to 'pdf+html-manual'.

* doc/guix.texi (Networking Services): Document configuration option to specify the openssh package for the openssh-service-type.
2020-10-08offload: Improve load normalization and configurability.Maxim Cournoyer
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.
2020-10-08doc: Clarify that guix-daemon doesn't have to be launched from the checkout.Ludovic Courtès
Suggested by Emmanuel Agullo. * doc/contributing.texi (Running Guix Before It Is Installed): Move the "./pre-inst-env guix-daemon" snippet at the bottom. Make it clear that it's necessary only when hacking on guix-daemon or when guix-daemon is not already running.
2020-10-08doc: Developers don't need to run "make install" in Guix.Ludovic Courtès
Suggested by Emmanuel Agullo. * doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Mention that running "make install" is unnecessary.
2020-10-08doc: Improve choice of options in service examples.Ludovic Courtès
* 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?'.

2020-09-27doc: Move "Primary URL" after "Specifying Channel Authorizations".Ludovic Courtès
* doc/guix.texi (Primary URL): Move after "Specifying Channel Authorizations" since the audience is channel authors who've already taken care of authorizations.
2020-09-27doc: Promote "Channels" as chapter and reorder.zimoun
The sectioning becomes: 1. Specifying Additional Channels (was 3.) 2. Using a Custom Guix Channel (was 2.) 3. Replicating Guix (was 9.) 4. Channel Authentication (was 1.) 5. Primary URL (was 7.) 6. Creating a Channel (reworded) 7. Package Modules in a Sub-directory (was 5.) 8. Declaring Channel Dependencies (was 4.) 9. Specifying Channel Authorizations (was 6.) 10. Writing Channel News (was 8.) * doc/guix.texi (Channels): Move section to chapter. Reorder the chapter. Minor tweaks to keep uniformity. Update the master menu. Signed-off-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>

2020-09-27packages: 'package-input-rewriting' has a #:deep? parameter.Ludovic Courtès
* guix/packages.scm (package-input-rewriting): Add #:deep? and pass it to 'package-mapping'. [replacement-property]: New variable. [rewrite]: Check it. [cut?]: New procedure. * tests/packages.scm ("package-input-rewriting"): Pass #:deep? #f and ensure implicit inputs were not rewritten. Avoid 'eq?' comparisons. ("package-input-rewriting, deep"): New test. * gnu/packages/guile.scm (package-for-guile-2.0, package-for-guile-3.0): Pass #:deep? #f.
2020-09-27packages: 'package-input-rewriting/spec' can rewrite implicit dependencies.Ludovic Courtès
With this change, '--with-input', '--with-graft', etc. also apply to implicit dependencies. Thus, it's now possible to do: guix build python-itsdangerous --with-input=python-wrapper=python@2 or: guix build hello --with-graft=glibc=glibc@2.29 Additionally, before, implicit inputs were not rewritten, which could lead to duplicates in the output of 'bag-transitive-inputs' (packages that are not 'eq?' but lead to the same derivation). This in turn would lead to unnecessary rebuilds when using '--with-input' & co. This change fixes it by ensuring even implicit inputs are rewritten. Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/42156>. * guix/packages.scm (package-input-rewriting/spec): Add #:deep? defaulting to #true, and pass it to 'package-mapping'. [replacement-property]: New variable. [rewrite]: Check that property and set it on the result of PROC. [cut?]: New procedure. * tests/packages.scm ("package-input-rewriting/spec"): Ensure implicit inputs were unchanged. ("package-input-rewriting/spec, partial match"): Pass #:deep? #f. ("package-input-rewriting/spec, deep") ("package-input-rewriting/spec, no duplicates"): New tests. (package/inherit): Move before use. * tests/guix-build.sh: Add tests. * tests/scripts-build.scm ("options->transformation, with-graft"): Compare dependencies by package name or derivation file name. * doc/guix.texi (Defining Packages): Adjust accordingly.
2020-09-27packages: 'package-mapping' can recurse on implicit inputs.Ludovic Courtès
* guix/packages.scm (build-system-with-package-mapping): New procedure. (package-mapping): Add #:deep? and honor it. * tests/packages.scm ("package-mapping"): Compare the direct inputs of the bag of P0 and that of P1. ("package-mapping, deep"): New test.
2020-09-27guix build: Add '--without-tests'.Ludovic Courtès
* guix/scripts/build.scm (transform-package-tests): New procedure. (%transformations, %transformation-options) show-transformation-options-help): Add it. * tests/scripts-build.scm ("options->transformation, without-tests"): New test. * doc/guix.texi (Package Transformation Options): Document it.
