Remove port. Specify a music-directory. Mention the importance of permissions on the music directory. Maxim Cournoyer
2023-07-26services: mpd: Provision a default cache directory and set HOME....Relates to <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63082>. * gnu/services/audio.scm (mpd-shepherd-service): Create a default .cache directory. Use mkdir-p/perms and refactor loop. Set the HOME environment variables. Maxim Cournoyer
2023-07-26services: mpd: Auto-detect mpd-output mixer type by default....Relates to <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63082>. * gnu/services/audio.scm (mpd-output) [mixer-type]: Change default value from "none" to unspecified. * doc/guix.texi (Audio Services): Regenerate doc. Maxim Cournoyer
2023-07-26services: mpd: Log to syslog by default....Rationale: the tristate value was awkward to deal with, the default log file name was odd (/var/log/mpd/log) and it required special attention to create the 'mpd' parent directory as root and chowning it to the MPD user. It also didn't match the default behavior of MPD, which is to log to systemd or syslog unless a log file is specified. * gnu/services/audio.scm (mpd-log-file-sanitizer): New procedure. (mpd-configuration) [log-file]: Remove default maybe value. Add sanitizer. (mpd-shepherd-service): Validate the log file parent directory exists and has the right permissions. Conditionally add syslogd to requirements. (mympd-log-to-sanitizer): New procedure. (mympd-configuration) [log-to]: Change type to maybe-string. Update doc and add sanitizer. (mympd-shepherd-service) [requirement]: Fix to use syslogd. Adjust accordingly. [start] Adjust accordingly. (mympd-log-rotation): Check log-to via maybe-value-set?. * doc/guix.texi (Audio Services): Update doc. Maxim Cournoyer

2023-07-18gnu: Deprecate `texlive-tiny'....At this point, there are three equivalent TeX Live sub-systems: texlive-scheme-basic, texlive-tiny, and (texlive-updmap.cfg). It is confusing to keep so many around. * doc/contributing.texi (Submitting Patches): Remove reference to TEXLIVE-TINY. * gnu/packages/algebra.scm (pari-gp)[native-inputs]: (giac)[native-inputs]: * gnu/packages/chez.scm (chez-sockets)[native-inputs]: * gnu/packages/engineering.scm (fastcap)[native-inputs]: * gnu/packages/gettext.scm (po4a)[native-inputs]: * gnu/packages/maths.scm (cddlib)[native-inputs]: (gnuplot)[native-inputs]: (itpp)[native-inputs]: * gnu/packages/ocaml.scm (unison)[native-inputs]: * gnu/packages/pdf.scm (extractpdfmark)[native-inputs]: * gnu/packages/photo.scm (enblend-enfuse): Replace TEXLIVE-TINY with a call to TEXLIVE-UPDMAP.CFG. * gnu/packages/radio.scm (gnuradio)[native-inputs]: Remove unnecessary TEXLIVE-TINY. * gnu/packages/tex.scm (texlive-tiny): Deprecate it in favor of TEXLIVE-SCHEME-BASIC.

Nicolas Goaziou
2023-07-18gnu: Rationalize texlive-updmap.cfg and texlive-tiny inputs....TEXLIVE-UPDMAP.CFG and TEXLIVE-TINY should only be used as native inputs. Also remove texlive packages already provided by them. * doc/build.scm (pdf-manual): * gnu/packages/algebra.scm (pari-gp): * gnu/packages/bioinformatics.scm (discrover): (phyml): (velvet): * gnu/packages/chemistry.scm (yaehmop): * gnu/packages/chez.scm (stex-bootstrap): (chez-web): (chez-sockets): * gnu/packages/cran.scm (r-prereg): * gnu/packages/docbook.scm (dblatex): * gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm (emacs-auctex): * gnu/packages/engineering.scm (fastcap): * gnu/packages/fsf.scm (book-faif): * gnu/packages/graphviz.scm (dot2tex): * gnu/packages/maths.scm (hypre): * gnu/packages/ocaml.scm (unison): (ocaml-bibtex2html): * gnu/packages/plotutils.scm (asymptote): * gnu/packages/python-xyz.scm (python-nbconvert): (python-pypandoc): * gnu/packages/radio.scm (gnuradio): (libosmo-dsp): * gnu/packages/statistics.scm (r-with-tests): * gnu/packages/tex.scm (texlive-makecmds): (texlive-innerscript): (teximpatient): (texlive-xkeyval): Remove texlive packages already provided by TEXLIVE-UPDMAP.CFG.

2023-07-18gnu: Replace texlive-latex-base with texlive-latex-bin....Although `latex-base' is clearly defined on CTAN, it isn't a proper TeX Live package. Since we're trying to follow as closely as possible this TeX distribution, we replace the package with the closest one, which is `texlive-latex-bin'. As a consequence, the #:TEXLIVE-LATEX-BASE argument becomes #:TEXLIVE-LATEX-BIN?, emphasizing the fact that the meaningful values for it are booleans. * gnu/packages/graphviz.scm (dot2tex)[propagated-inputs]: Remove TEXLIVE-GRAPHICS, TEXLIVE-LATEX-BASE. Add TEXLIVE-LATEX-BIN. * gnu/packages/plotutils.scm (asymptote)[native-inputs]: Remove TEXLIVE-LATEX-BASE, TEXLIVE-GRAPHICS, TEXLIVE-L3BACKEND.

Efraim Flashner
2023-06-12doc: Move and rewrite the branching strategy....Move away from using staging and core-updates, and make the strategy independant of branch names. Keep the 300 dependent threshold for changes to master, as I don't have any specific reason to change this. Most importantly, require using guix-patches issues to coordinate merging of the branches, as I think that'll address the key issues that have shown up recently where it's been unclear which branch should be merged next. * doc/contributing.texi (Submitting Patches): Move the branching strategy to a new Managing Patches and Branches section. (Managing Patches and Branches): New section. (Commit Policy): Simplify through referencing the new Managing Patches and Branches section.

2023-06-08doc: Use the term "Procedure" for definitions....In an effort to homogenize things, commit 3c40dfe2851dd4ef48d2711f9f3531c06afbe1f2 replaced: @deffn {Scheme Procedure} with: @defun However, the latter prints "Function" when all existing material about Scheme uses the term "procedure". Thus, for consistency, this commit switches to: @deffn {Procedure} * doc/guix.texi, doc/contributing.texi: Use "@deffn {Procedure}" consistently rather than "@defun" or similar. Ludovic Courtès
