2021-03-17gnu-maintenance: Add 'generic-html' updater....This brings total updater coverage, as reported by 'guix refresh --list-updaters', from 78% to 88.3%. Among many other things, it covers freedesktop.org packages. * guix/gnu-maintenance.scm (html-updatable-package?) (latest-html-updatable-release): New procedures. (%generic-html-updater): New variable. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix refresh): Document it. Ludovic Courtès

2021-03-17doc: Define the term "profile"....Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/46803>. Reported by Luis Felipe <luis.felipe.la@protonmail.com>. * doc/guix.texi (Getting Started): Introduce the term "profile". (Invoking guix package): Likewise. Ludovic Courtès
2021-03-16gnu: Remove MongoDB....mongodb 3.4.10 has unpatched CVEs and mongodb 3.4.24 has some files in the release tarball under the SSPL, therefore we cannot provide mongodb while upholding to good security standards. It turns out feff80cec3c97a3df2c20d300be12d67f79d4f22 was right since while the main license file wasnt altered to SSPL, some files in the tree contain SSPL headers. * gnu/packages/databases.scm (go-gopkg.in-mgo.v2): Remove. * gnu/packages/databases.scm (mongo-tools): Remove. * doc/guix.texi (mongodb-service-type): Remove. * gnu/tests/databases.scm (%test-mongodb, %mongodb-os, run-mongodb-test): Remove. * gnu/services/databases.scm (mongodb-configuration, mongodb-configuration?, mongodb-configuration-mongodb, mongodb-configuration-config-file, mongodb-configuration-data-directory, mongodb-service-type, %default-mongodb-configuration-file, %mongodb-accounts, mongodb-activation, mongodb-shepherd-service): Remove. * gnu/packages/databases.scm (mongodb): Remove. Léo Le Bouter
2021-03-15services/qemu-binfmt: Use the F flag and the static output of QEMU....Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/36117>. Before this change, the 'binfmt_misc' entries registered for QEMU would not be usable in container contexts outside of guix-daemon (without manually bind mounting file names). For example: $ docker run --rm arm32v7/debian true standard_init_linux.go:207: exec user process caused "no such file or directory" After this change, any container can make use of the QEMU binfmt_misc registrations, as their corresponding QEMU static binaries are fully pre-loaded by the kernel. * gnu/services/virtualization.scm (<qemu-platform>): Define using 'define-record-type*'. [flags]: New field, which defaults to "F" (fix binary). (%i386, %i486, %alpha, %arm, %armeb, %sparc, %sparc32plus, %ppc, %ppc64) (%ppc64le, %m68k, %mips, %mipsel, %mipsn32, %mipsn32el, %mips64, %mips64el) (%riscv32, %riscv64, %sh4, %sh4eb, %s390x, %aarch64, %hppa): Adjust. (qemu-binfmt-guix-chroot): Remove variable. (qemu-binfmt-service-type): Remove the qemu-binfmt-guix-chroot extension. * gnu/services/qemu-binfmt (qemu-platform->binfmt): Use the static output of QEMU. * doc/contributing.texi (Submitting Patches): Update doc. * doc/guix.texi (Virtualization Services): Update doc.
