2024-04-03Switch order of the default substitute servers.Christopher Baines
The aim here is to improve the user experience. There's anecdotal evidence that the network performance for bordeaux is better compared to ci at least for some users, and I don't know of any issues with rate limiting or access restriction for bordeaux compared to ci. It also has IPv6 support. Additionally, bordeaux generally had more substitutes than ci, particularly for aarch64-linux and armhf-linux. This change will offer a very slight speedup for those substitutes that only bordeaux has. Bordeaux has been a default substitute server for nearly 3 years now and I think this change is overdue. I'm also hopeful that we'll be able to build on the testing regarding mirrors for bordeaux, and that'll allow potentially improving the hosting setup (through providing more redundancy) and further improving substitute fetching for users who currently have issues with substitute access. * config-daemon.ac: Switch substitute urls order. * doc/guix.texi: Ditto. * etc/guix-install.sh: Ditto. * gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (wait-service-online): Ditto. * guix/store.scm (%default-substitute-urls): Ditto.

2024-03-06gnu: home: dotfiles: Properly support both plain and Stow directory layouts.Giacomo Leidi
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/68848>. The current implementation of the home-dotfiles-service-type contradicts the Guix manual. This patch properly implements both the plain and Stow dotfiles directory layouts. It does so by refactoring home-dotfiles-configuration adding a new packages field to support GNU Stow's users workflow and introducing a new layout field to switch between the two directory layouts. * gnu/home/services/dotfiles (home-dotfiles-configuration): Migrate to (gnu services configuration); [packages]: new field; [layout]: new field; (strip-stow-dotfile): new variable; (strip-plain-dotfile): new variable; (home-dotfiles-configuration->files): use the new fields; [directory-contents]: allow for selecting a subset of application dotfile directories; * doc/guix.texi: document the new layouts.
