2021-08-02services: configuration: Derive the default value from the package variable....If the type of a configuration field is a package, show the name of its package *variable* as the default value. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (generate-documentation){show-default} {package->symbol}: New nested procedures. Use them to format the field entries. Co-authored-by: Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer@gmail.com> Xinglu Chen
2021-08-02services: configuration: Uniformize the generated documentation....Make the formatting of the generated docs more consistent with the rest of the docs in the “Services” section of the manual. * gnu/services/configuration (generate-documentation): Represent the data type documentation of a field using a DEFTP table rather than DEFTYPEVR elements.

2021-06-29services: configuration: Allow specifying prefix for serializer names....Sometimes two configurations might have the same types for their field values, but the values might be serialized in two completely different ways (e.g. because the two programs have different configuration languages). An example of this would be the ‘serialize-boolean’ procedure in (gnu services mail) and (gnu services getmail). They both serialize a boolean value, but because the Dovecot’s configuration language has a different syntax to the configuration language for Getmail, two different procedures have to be defined. One way to workaround this would be to specify custom serializers for many fields in order to separate the serialization of the values that have the same type but serialize in different ways. This could get very tedious, especially if there are many configurations in the same module. Another way would be to move one of the configurations to its own module, like what was done with (gnu services getmail). However, this would mean that there would be multiple modules containing configurations for related programs, e.g. we have (gnu services mail) and (gnu services getmail), it doesn’t make much sense to keep the Getmail configuration in its own module. This patch will allow one to write something like this: (define-configuration foo-configuration (bar (string "bob") "Option bar.") (prefix bar-)) and the value of the ‘bar’ field would be serialized using a procedure named ‘bar-serialize-string’ instead of just ‘serialize-string’. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (define-maybe-helper): Accept ‘prefix’ argument for using serializer with custom prefix. (define-maybe): Pattern match on ‘prefix’ literal. (define-configuration-helper): Accept ‘prefix’ argument for using serializer with custom prefix. (define-configuration): Pattern match on ‘prefix’ literal. * tests/services/configuration.scm ("serialize-configuration with prefix"): New test.

2021-05-17services: configuration: Add a define-configuration/no-serialization syntax....This is added for convenience and for uniformity with the define-maybe/no-serialization syntax introduced in the previous commit. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (define-configuration/no-serialization): New syntax. Maxim Cournoyer
2021-05-17services: configuration: Add a define-maybe/no-serialization syntax....Before this change, using define-maybe along define-configuration with the no-serialization syntactic keyword would result in the following warning: warning: possibly unbound variable `VARIABLE-NAME' This change introduces the define-maybe/no-serialization variant that does away with defining a serialization helper procedure, which makes it possible to avoid the above warning. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (define-maybe/no-serialization): New syntax. (define-maybe-helper): New procedure. (define-maybe): Define syntax using the above procedure. * tests/services/configuration.scm (tests): Fix module name. (custom-number-serializer): Do not print to standard output. (maybe-number?, serialize-maybe-number): New procedures defined via the define-maybe macro. (config-with-maybe-number): New configuration. (serialize-number): New procedure. ("maybe value serialization"): New test. (maybe-string?): New procedure defined via the define-maybe/no-serialization macro. (config-with-maybe-string/no-serialization): New configuration. ("maybe value without serialization no procedure bound"): New test. Maxim Cournoyer
2021-05-08services: configuration: Export 'no-serialization' syntactic keyword....This is a followup to 3f9a12dc082b20426fc740416601b69ea1897193. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (no-serialization): New variable. Ludovic Courtès
2021-05-08services: configuration: Fix %location accessor name....The non-hygienic binding of the source location accessor was set to '-location'; in modules where multiple configurations were defined, it would cause compilation warnings such as: gnu/services/mail.scm:175:0: warning: shadows previous definition of `%-location-procedure' at gnu/services/mail.scm:165:0 * gnu/services/configuration.scm (define-configuration-helper) <id>: Add a missing #'stem argument to use the configuration name as a prefix to the location accessor identifier. Maxim Cournoyer
2021-05-08services: configuration: Allow specifying a custom serializer....In some cases, rather than globally disabling serialization, it may be more appropriate to disable or otherwise alter the serialization procedure of a specific field. In large module, multiple configurations may also exist that would need to alter the default serialization procedure, which is named after the field type. Being able to specify a per-field serialization procedure provides more flexibility. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (define-configuration): Add an optional pattern variable to allow specifying a custom serialization procedure. (define-configuration-helper) <field-serializer>: Use it to transform the syntax. (empty-serializer): New procedure. (serialize-package): Alias to ‘empty-serializer’.

2021-05-08services: configuration: Allow disabling serialization....Serialization is not always useful, for example when deriving command line arguments from a configuration. This change provides a way to turn it off, which removes the need to define a bunch of dummy serialization procedures. Credit goes to Andrew Gierth (RhodiumToad) from #guile for providing the solution. Thank you! * gnu/services/configuration.scm (define-configuration-helper): New procedure. (define-configuration) <no-serialization>: New syntactic keyword. Use it in a new pattern. Refactor the macro so that it makes use of the above helper procedure. Maxim Cournoyer
2021-05-08services: configuration: Avoid a compilation warning....This resolves a compilation warning introduced with commit bb716e8d9d. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (configuration->documentation): Use display to print the string instead of format. Maxim Cournoyer
2021-05-07services: configuration: Add a new helper to ease generating documentation....The original (undocumented) procedure to generate the doc has a difficult to grasp interface; add a simpler one on top of it. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (configuration->documentation): New procedure. Maxim Cournoyer
2021-05-07services: configuration: Support fields without default values....Not all fields in a configuration have a sensible default value. This changes makes it possible to omit a default value for a configuration field, requiring the user to provide a value. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (configuration-missing-field): New procedure. (define-configuration): Make default value optional. Signed-off-by: Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer@gmail.com> Xinglu Chen
