2022-12-07services: zabbix: Don't write user to configuration file....The service already runs with the specified user and group, so there is no use in writing it to the configuration files.

Mention the file names used and that the UEFI Boot Manager is not modified. Advise to disable write-access over TFTP. * gnu/bootloader.scm (efi-bootloader-profile): Allow a list of packages and collect everything directly in the profile, avoiding a separate collection directory. Renamed the profile from "bootloader-profile" to "efi-bootloader-profile". [bootloader-collection]: Rename to... [efi-bootloader-profile-hook]: ... this and remove unused modules. Do not create the now extraneous collection directory. (efi-bootloader-chain): Add PACKAGES and DISK-IMAGE-INSTALLER arguments. Remove handling of the collection directory, now only calling the given installer procedure. * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (make-grub-efi-netboot-installer): New helper.

2022-11-29doc: Remove unimplemented 'herd rules udev'....Since this text was added, the rules.d directory is now exposed straightforwardly via the standard /etc/udev/rules.d directory, so there's no need for a special 'rules' service action to print that directory. * doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Remove the paragraph documenting the nonexistent 'herd rules udev' command.

2022-11-23offload: Increase default 'overload-threshold' value....When offloading to a single machine, the previous default value would lead 'guix offload' to wait possibly for several minutes between subsequent builds until normalized load would finally go below 0.6. Increasing it mitigates that. * guix/scripts/offload.scm (<build-machine>)[overload-threshold]: Bump to 0.8. * doc/guix.texi (Daemon Offload Setup): Likewise. Ludovic Courtès
