2023-02-05services: mpd: Do not hardcode environment variables.Bruno Victal
Services should not expect for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to be set. Inferring from the past comment, this seemed to resolve an issue when the service was launched with an _interactive_ user-account, which tends to have this variable set by the login-manager. This is not the case for system accounts and setting this variable results in PulseAudio (launched by the same system user) failing to start since it attempts to use a nonexistent directory. Ideally, this service should have a home-service counterpart but the old behavior can be emulated by setting the environment-variables field to: (environment-variables (list (string-append "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/" (number->string (passwd:uid (getpwnam "myuser")))))) * gnu/services/audio.scm (mpd-configuration)[environment-variables]: New field. (mpd-shepherd-service)[start]: Use new field. * doc/guix.texi (Audio Services)[Music Player Daemon]: Document it. Signed-off-by: Liliana Marie Prikler <liliana.prikler@gmail.com>

2023-01-11doc: contributing: Tweak the Commit Policy.Christopher Baines
Add more examples of when it can be appropriate to push changes without review, as I think this can be appropriate in the case of trivial changes (as mentioned before), but also non-trivial fixes. No longer suggest pushing simple new packages or package upgrades (that don't cause lots of rebuilds) without sending to guix-patches. Now there's some automation for testing changes sent to guix-patches, sending changes there before pushing can mean that more rigorous testing takes place and help speed up substitutes becoming available. This is true, even if no human review takes place. Only suggest waiting one week for review for simpler changes, wait two weeks for more significant changes. Also, reorder some of the information in this section so it's grouped together better. * doc/contributing.texi (Commit Policy): Tweak. Signed-off-by: Christopher Baines <mail@cbaines.net>
