2023-05-06doc: cookbook: Remove outdated section about GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH.Ludovic Courtès
The section insisted on GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH, mentioned version 0.16, and didn't say much about channels, which made it look obsolete. * doc/guix-cookbook.texi (GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH): Remove section. (Guix channels): Rename to... (Channels): ... this. Merge most of the explanations previously in the GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH section. Say more about channels and add cross-references.

2023-05-01doc: Simplify contributing section by automating git configuration.Maxim Cournoyer
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58813>. No longer suggests to splice the output of etc/teams.scm commands into the 'git send-email' command line; this is now transparently handled by the Git configuration, which is also automatic. * doc/contributing.texi (Configuring Git): Streamline section, now automated via Automake. (Sending a Patch Series): Do not specify options configured as default by the above. Prefer long option names, for readability. (Teams): Rewrite the examples to use --header-cmd. (Commit Access): Refer to the Configuring Git section instead of detailing manual steps.

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. (<tor-configuration>)[control-socket?]: Rename accessor. (<hidden-service>): Replace with … (<tor-onion-service-configuration>): … this. (tor-configuration->torrc): Update record-type name. (tor-activation): Ditto. (tor-hidden-service-type): Remove variable. (tor-hidden-service): Deprecate procedure. Signed-off-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>

2023-04-21home: services: openssh: Add configuration option for jump proxiesSaku Laesvuori
Add a new 'proxy' field to openssh-host to allow ProxyCommand or ProxyJump, but not both, to be configured. Configuring both would cause the serialization order to determine which one is used. Deprecate the 'proxy-command' field because the 'proxy' field replaces it. * gnu/home/services/ssh.scm (proxy-jump->string, proxy-command-or-jump-list?, serialize-proxy-command-or-jump-list, sanitize-proxy-command): New procedure. (proxy-jump, proxy-command): New record type.

2023-04-02services: configuration: Add user-defined sanitizer support.Bruno Victal
This changes the 'custom-serializer' field into a generic 'extra-args' field that can be extended to support new literals. Within extra-args, the literals 'sanitizer' and 'serializer' allow for user-defined sanitization and serialization procedures respectively. The 'empty-serializer' was also added as a literal to be used as before. To prevent confusion between the new “explicit” style of specifying a sanitizer, and the old “implicit” style, the latter has been deprecated, and a warning is issued if it is encountered. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (define-configuration-helper): Rename 'custom-serializer' to 'extra-args'. Add support for literals 'sanitizer', 'serializer' and 'empty-serializer'. Rename procedure 'field-sanitizer' to 'default-field-sanitizer' to avoid syntax clash. Only define default field sanitizers if user-defined ones are absent. (normalize-extra-args): New variable. (<configuration-field>)[sanitizer]: New field. * doc/guix.texi (Complex Configurations): Document the newly added literals. * tests/services/configuration.scm: Add tests for the new literals.

The primary motivation is to support things like: guix build guix --with-input=guile=guile-next without triggering a rebuild of (@@ (gnu packages commencement) guile-final) and similar things. It is also consistent with package name resolution on the command line: a package that cannot be named cannot be replaced. * guix/packages.scm (package-input-rewriting/spec)[rewrite]: When P is hidden, return it as-is. * tests/packages.scm ("package-input-rewriting/spec, hidden package"): New test. * doc/guix.texi (Defining Package Variants): Update.
