2017-09-11substitute: Download from unauthorized sources that provide the right content....This allows substitutes to be downloaded from unauthorized servers, as long as they advertise the same hash and references as one of the authorized servers. * guix/scripts/substitute.scm (assert-valid-narinfo): Remove.

(Desktop Services): Replace Wicd with NM. Ludovic Courtès
2017-08-31services: mpd: Remove the mpd-file field....Since MPD switches user, the pid-file must be in a writable dir. This is now always /var/run/mpd/(user)/pid. * gnu/services/audio.scm (mpd-service-type): Add a activation-service extension. (<mpd-configuration>)[pid-file]: Remove. (mpd-service): Rename to...

2017-08-23gnu: bootloader: Deprecate "device" field in favor of "target"....* gnu/bootloader.scm (<bootloader-configuration>): Deprecate "device" field in favor of "target" field. This is mostly a renaming but also a generalization to support UEFI targets being paths to a mounted partition instead of a device name. * gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl: * gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: * gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl: * gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl: * gnu/system/install.scm: * gnu/tests.scm: * gnu/tests/install.scm: * gnu/tests/nfs.scm: * tests/system.scm: Adapt all invocations of bootloader-configuration. * guix/scripts/system.scm (perform-action): Rename device argument to bootloader-target.

2017-08-19doc: Update Database services in detailed node list....2020-08-25Remove "guile-zlib" extension when unused....This is a follow-up of 755f365b02b42a5d1e8ef3000dadef069553a478. As (zlib) is autoloaded in (gnu build linux-modules), "guile-zlib" is needed as an extension only when it is effectively used. * gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Remove "guile-zlib" from the extensions. * gnu/machine/ssh.scm (machine-check-initrd-modules): Ditto. * gnu/services.scm (activation-script): Ditto. * gnu/services/base.scm (default-serial-port): Ditto, (agetty-shepherd-service): ditto, (udev-service-type): ditto. * gnu/system/image.scm (gcrypt-sqlite3&co): Ditto. * gnu/system/shadow.scm (account-shepherd-service): Ditto.

2020-08-25linux-libre: Support module compression....This commit adds support for GZIP compression for linux-libre kernel modules. The initrd modules are kept uncompressed as the initrd is already compressed as a whole. The linux-libre kernel also supports XZ compression, but as Guix does not have any available bindings for now, and the compression time is far more significant, GZIP seems to be a better option. * gnu/build/linux-modules.scm (modinfo-section-contents): Use 'call-with-gzip-input-port' to read from a module file using '.gz' extension, (strip-extension): new procedure, (dot-ko): adapt to support compression, (ensure-dot-ko): ditto, (file-name->module-name): ditto, (find-module-file): ditto, (load-linux-module*): ditto, (module-name->file-name/guess): ditto, (module-name-lookup): ditto, (write-module-name-database): ditto, (write-module-alias-database): ditto, (write-module-device-database): ditto. * gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Add "guile-zlib" to the extensions. * gnu/machine/ssh.scm (machine-check-initrd-modules): Ditto. * gnu/services.scm (activation-script): Ditto. * gnu/services/base.scm (default-serial-port): Ditto, (agetty-shepherd-service): ditto, (udev-service-type): ditto. * gnu/system/image.scm (gcrypt-sqlite3&co): Ditto. * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (flat-linux-module-directory): Add "guile-zlib" to the extensions and make sure that the initrd only contains uncompressed module files. * gnu/system/shadow.scm (account-shepherd-service): Add "guile-zlib" to the extensions. * guix/profiles.scm (linux-module-database): Ditto. Mathieu Othacehe
