2022-09-01gnu: fail2ban-service-type: Fix documentation typos.muradm
Signed-off-by: Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer@gmail.com>
2022-08-30guix system: Use standard cross and native build options.Thiago Jung Bauermann
This change prevents guix system from erroring out with an ugly backtrace when it's passed an invalid value to the “--system” or “--target” option. It also adds the “--list-systems” and “--list-targets” options. The manual section about guix system doesn't mention the “--target” option, so add it there. * guix/scripts/system (show-help): Call show-cross-build-options-help and show-native-build-options-help. (%options): Remove own implementation of “system” and “target” options and use the ones in %standard-cross-build-options and %standard-native-build-options. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system): Document “--target” option. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Othacehe <othacehe@gnu.org>

2022-08-01services: configuration: Step back from *unspecified*.Maxim Cournoyer
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/56799>. This partially reverts 8cb1a49a3998c39f315a4199b7d4a121a6d66449. Rationale: *unspecified* cannot be serialized thus used as a G-Expression input, which is problematic/inconvenient when using deeply nested records.
