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.

2022-06-10services: 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.

(with-retries, send-dbus, dbus-available-services) (dbus-service-available?): Move to ... * gnu/build/dbus-service.scm: ... this new module. (send-dbus): Rewrite to use the Guile AC/D-Bus library.

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'.

2022-06-06bootloader: grub: Add removable grub-efi bootloader option.Karl Hallsby
For single-disk installs (external USBs) and for amnesiac UEFIs, Guix is not found using its default Grub EFI bootloader location of /boot/efi/EFI/Guix/grubx64.efi means the Guix install will not be found. To handle this, we can place the bootloader file in the UEFI specification location, overwriting any other OS that may have placed a file there. This location is namely /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi. Grub has explicit support for this location/situation with the `--removable` flag. * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub-efi-removable) (grub-efi-removable-bootloader): New variables. * doc/guix.texi (Bootloader Configuration): Document it.
