2021-04-14Revert "services: mysql: Add extra-environment as configuration option."...This reverts commit f3626119d738f30b5ab59e76c105fd7b4c077ddc. This commit inadvertently broke a string freeze. Let's be nice to our translators and not do that. Leo Prikler
2021-04-13services: mysql: Add extra-environment as configuration option....* gnu/services/databases.scm (mysql-configuration): Add extra-environment (mysql-service): Use #:log-file and #:environment-variables * doc/guix.texi: Document it.

2021-04-12services: postgresql: Change service default socket directory....Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/46737>. PostgreSQL running with a different socket directory to the default one in the package itself breaks some services, this commit restores the previous behaviour where PostgreSQL by default will run with a socket directory that matches the default used by PostgreSQL packaged for Guix. Switching to a different default value can happen, but only alongside changing the PostgreSQL package. * gnu/services/databases.scm (<postgresql-config-file>)[socket-directory]: Change default to #false. * doc/guix.texi (Database Services): Update documentation, and specify a different value for disabling connections via sockets. * gnu/tests/guix.scm (%guix-data-service-os): Use default PostgreSQL behaviour. * gnu/tests/monitoring.scm (%zabbix-os): Likewise. * gnu/tests/web.scm (patchwork-os): Likewise.

Mention that a specific version can be imported. Remove the experimental warning. * guix/import/go.scm (go-module->guix-package-name)[version]: Add optional argument. Rewrite the character translation in terms of string-map. (go-module->guix-package): Conditionally use dependencies whose symbol include their version, based no the value of the PIN-VERSIONS? argument. * guix/import/utils.scm (package->definition): Add a new case where the full version string is appended to the package symbol. * guix/scripts/import.scm (guix-import): Correctly print forms starting with '(define-public [...]'. * guix/scripts/import/go.scm (guix-import-go): Conditionally include the version in the package symbols defined.

2021-04-04doc: Remind developers to build Guix....The previous instructions were correct, but we got too many bug reports with a root cause of "did not build Guix yet". Other parts of the manual already instruct `make && make check`, so this makes the treatment of building Guix more consistent, too. * doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Instruct the user to run `make` when building Guix. Leo Famulari
2021-04-03services: guix-publish: Add zstd compression by default....That way, the default config with (advertises? #t) and without a cache will offer zstd-compressed substitutes, which should lead to much higher throughput than gzip. * gnu/services/base.scm (default-compression): When 'guix-publish-configuration-cache' returns true, use higher level compression ratios.

2021-03-16gnu: Remove MongoDB....mongodb 3.4.10 has unpatched CVEs and mongodb 3.4.24 has some files in the release tarball under the SSPL, therefore we cannot provide mongodb while upholding to good security standards. It turns out feff80cec3c97a3df2c20d300be12d67f79d4f22 was right since while the main license file wasnt altered to SSPL, some files in the tree contain SSPL headers. * gnu/packages/databases.scm (go-gopkg.in-mgo.v2): Remove. * gnu/packages/databases.scm (mongo-tools): Remove. * doc/guix.texi (mongodb-service-type): Remove. * gnu/tests/databases.scm (%test-mongodb, %mongodb-os, run-mongodb-test): Remove. * gnu/services/databases.scm (mongodb-configuration, mongodb-configuration?, mongodb-configuration-mongodb, mongodb-configuration-config-file, mongodb-configuration-data-directory, mongodb-service-type, %default-mongodb-configuration-file, %mongodb-accounts, mongodb-activation, mongodb-shepherd-service): Remove. * gnu/packages/databases.scm (mongodb): Remove. Léo Le Bouter
2021-03-15services/qemu-binfmt: Use the F flag and the static output of QEMU....Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/36117>. Before this change, the 'binfmt_misc' entries registered for QEMU would not be usable in container contexts outside of guix-daemon (without manually bind mounting file names). For example: $ docker run --rm arm32v7/debian true standard_init_linux.go:207: exec user process caused "no such file or directory" After this change, any container can make use of the QEMU binfmt_misc registrations, as their corresponding QEMU static binaries are fully pre-loaded by the kernel. * gnu/services/virtualization.scm (<qemu-platform>): Define using 'define-record-type*'. [flags]: New field, which defaults to "F" (fix binary). (%i386, %i486, %alpha, %arm, %armeb, %sparc, %sparc32plus, %ppc, %ppc64) (%ppc64le, %m68k, %mips, %mipsel, %mipsn32, %mipsn32el, %mips64, %mips64el) (%riscv32, %riscv64, %sh4, %sh4eb, %s390x, %aarch64, %hppa): Adjust.
