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. As an example, jami-service-type was broken when using partially defined <jami-account> records. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (define-maybe-helper): Check against the 'unset symbol. (normalize-field-type+def): Adjust value to 'unset. (define-configuration-helper): Use 'unset as the default value thunk. * gnu/services/file-sharing.scm (serialize-maybe-string): Check against the 'unset symbol. (serialize-maybe-file-object): Likewise. * gnu/services/messaging.scm (define-all-configurations): Use 'unset as value. (raw-content?): Check against 'unset symbol. (prosody-configuration)[http-max-content-size]: Default to 'unset. [http-external-url]: Likewise. [mod-muc]: Likewise. [raw-content]: Likewise. * gnu/services/networking.scm (opendht-configuration): Adjust documentation. * gnu/services/telephony.scm (jami-shepherd-services): Replace *undefined* with the 'unset symbol. * tests/services/configuration.scm ("maybe type, no default"): Check against the 'unset symbol. * doc/guix.texi: Regenerate the opendht-configuration, openvpn-client-configuration and openvpn-server-configuration documentation.
2022-08-01services: opensmtpd: Make commands setgid to "smtpq" by default.Maya

(opensmtpd-set-gids): New procedure. (opensmtpd-service-type)[extensions]: Add SETUID-PROGRAM-SERVICE-TYPE extension. * doc/guix.texi (Mail Services): Document it.

2022-07-23guix gc: '--delete-generations' now deletes old Home generations.Ludovic Courtès

2022-06-10services: jami: Modernize to adjust to Shepherd 0.9+ changes.Maxim Cournoyer
This partially fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54786>, allowing the 'jami' and 'jami-provisioning' system tests to pass again. In version 0.9.0, Shepherd constructors are now run concurrently, via cooperative scheduling (Guile Fibers). The Jami service previously relied on blocking sleeps while polling for D-Bus services to become ready after forking a process; this wouldn't work anymore since while blocking the service process wouldn't be given the chance to finish starting. The new reliance on Fibers in Shepherd's fork+exec-command in the helper 'send-dbus' procedure also meant that it wouldn't work outside of Shepherd anymore. Finally, the 'start-service' Shepherd procedure used in the test suite would cause the Jami daemon to be spawned multiple times (a bug introduced in Shepherd 0.9.0). To fix/simplify these problems, this change does the following: 1. Use the Guile AC/D-Bus library for D-Bus communication, which simplify things, such as avoiding the need to fork 'dbus-send' processes. 2. The non-blocking 'sleep' version of Fiber is used for the 'with-retries' waiting syntax. 3. A 'dbus' package variant is used to adjust the session bus configuration, tailoring it for the use case at hand. 4. Avoid start-service in the tests, preferring 'jami-service-available?' for now. * gnu/build/jami-service.scm (parse-dbus-reply, strip-quotes) (deserialize-item, serialize-boolean, dbus-dict->alist) (dbus-array->list, parse-account-ids, parse-account-details) (parse-contacts): Delete procedures. (%send-dbus-binary, %send-dbus-bus, %send-dbus-user, %send-dbus-group) (%send-dbus-debug): Delete parameters. (jami-service-running?): New procedure. (send-dbus/configuration-manager): Rename to... (call-configuration-manager-method): ... this. Turn METHOD into a positional argument. Turn ARGUMENTS into an optional argument. Invoke `call-dbus-method' instead of `send-dbus', adjusting callers accordingly.

Remove no longer used parameters. <jami-dbus-session>: Use a PID file, avoiding the need for the manual synchronization. <jami>: Set DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable. Poll using 'jami-service-available?' instead of 'dbus-service-available?'. * gnu/tests/telephony.scm (run-jami-test): Add needed Guile extensions. Set DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable. Adjust all tests to use 'jami-service-available?' to determine if the service is started rather than the now problematic Shepherd's 'start-service'.
