2022-03-01initrd: Use non-hyphenated kernel command-line parameter names....This is to make it less surprising, given the common convention sets forth by the kernel Linux command-line parameters. * gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Rename '--load', '--repl', '--root' and '--system' to 'gnu.load', 'gnu.repl', 'root' and 'gnu.system', respectively.

2022-02-27gnu: glibc-utf8-locales: Hide the package....This package has a long history of confusing users, due to containing only a small, arbitrary subset of UTF-8 locales. * gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc-utf8-locales): Define as a hidden package. * doc/guix.texi (Application Setup): Do not mention glibc-utf8-locales. Instead, provide an example for defining a custom locales package. Maxim Cournoyer

2022-02-23doc: Fix 'setuid-program' example....%setuid-programs was previously moved to be in the list sexp instead of just the append one. This causes an "invalid G-expression input" error. Error reported by: Kolev on #guix. * doc/guix.texi (Setuid Programs): Move %setuid-programs out to the append sexp. Signed-off-by: Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer@gmail.com> John Kehayias

2022-02-15doc: Clarify the Swap Space examples, and include an helper example....* doc/guix.texi (Swap Space): The examples referred to variables defined outside of the snippets, and so were not very informative for people without much Guile knowledge.

2022-02-14git-authenticate: Ensure the target is a descendant of the introductory commit....Fixes a bug whereby authentication of a commit *not* descending from the introductory commit could succeed, provided the commit verifies the authorization invariant. In the example below, A is a common ancestor of the introductory commit I and of commit X. Authentication of X would succeed, even though it is not a descendant of I, as long as X is authorized according to the '.guix-authorizations' in A: X I \ / A This is because, 'authenticate-repository' would not check whether X descends from I, and the call (commit-difference X I) would return X. In practice that only affects forks because it means that ancestors of the introductory commit already contain a '.guix-authorizations' file. * guix/git-authenticate.scm (authenticate-repository): Add call to 'commit-descendant?'. * tests/channels.scm ("authenticate-channel, not a descendant of introductory commit"): New test. * tests/git-authenticate.scm ("authenticate-repository, target not a descendant of intro"): New test. * tests/guix-git-authenticate.sh: Expect earlier test to fail since 9549f0283a78fe36f2d4ff2a04ef8ad6b0c02604 is not a descendant of $intro_commit. Add new test targeting an ancestor of the introductory commit, and another test targeting the v1.2.0 commit. * doc/guix.texi (Specifying Channel Authorizations): Add a sentence. Ludovic Courtès
