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. Use TEXLIVE-UPDMAP.CFG. * gnu/packages/sphinx.scm (python-sphinx)[propagated-inputs]: Remove TEXLIVE-GRAPHICS, TEXLIVE-LATEX-BASE. Add TEXLIVE-LATEX-BIN. * gnu/packages/tex.scm (texlive-latex-base): Deprecate variable. (texlive-hyphen-complete): (texlive-tex): (texlive-latex): (texlive-docstrip): (texlive-unicode-data): (texlive-hyphen-base): (texlive-tex-ini-files): (texlive-metafont): (texlive-modes): (texlive-knuth-lib): (texlive-latex-fonts): (texlive-etex): (texlive-plain): (texlive-kpathsea): (texlive-latexconfig): (texlive-latex-bin): (texlive-l3kernel): (texlive-l3backend): (texlive-l3packages): (texlive-luatex): (texlive-luahbtex): (texlive-babel): (texlive-cyrillic): (texlive-pdftex): (texlive-cm)[arguments]: Replace #:TEXLIVE-LATEX-BASE with #:TEXLIVE-LATEX-BIN?.

2023-06-14home: services: ssh: Allow unset boolean options in ssh-config....From man 5 ssh_config: Unless noted otherwise, for each parameter, the first obtained value will be used. We want to allow falling through to the first explicitly chosen user defined value. * gnu/home/services.ssh.scm (define-maybe boolean): New configuration.

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

2023-06-04services: screen-locker-service-type: Configurable PAM and setuid....screen-locker-service-type by default does both define PAM entry and make program setuid binary. Normally both methods are mutually exclusive, if binary has setuid set it does not really needs PAM, otherway around also similar, if PAM is enabled binary should not relay on setuid. Recent swaylock package now compiled with PAM support. When PAM support is compiled in, swaylock rejects executing if binary is also setuid program. This change turns screen-locker-configuration from strict PAM AND setuid to more flexible PAM AND/OR setuid. Allowing swaylock to be configured properly while supporting other screen locker preferences. * gnu/services/xorg.scm (screen-locker-configuration): Switch from define-record-type to define-configuration. [using-pam?]: New field to control PAM entry existence. [using-setuid?]: New field to control setuid binary existence. (screen-locker-pam-services): Should not make unix-pam-service if using-pam? is set to #f. (screen-locker-setuid-programs): Should not make program setuid program if using-setuid? is set to #f. (screen-locker-generate-doc): Internal function to generate configuration documentation. (screen-locker-service): Adapt to new screen-locker-configuration. * gnu/services/desktop.scm (desktop-services-for-system): Adapt to new screen-locker-configuration. * doc/guix.texi: Reflect new changes to screen-locker-configuration.

2023-05-31upstream: 'update-package-source' edits input fields....Previously, 'guix refresh r-ggplot2 -u' and similar commands would print of list of input changes that would have to be made manually.
