2021-07-18pack: Allow embedding custom control files in deb packs.Maxim Cournoyer
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (self-contained-tarball/builder) [extra-options]: New argument. (self-contained-tarball, squashfs-image, docker-image) (debian-archive): Likewise. Remove two TODO comments. Document EXTRA-OPTIONS. Use the custom control files when provided. (%deb-format-options): New variable. (show-deb-format-options, show-deb-format-options/detailed): New procedures. (%options): Register new options. (show-help): Augment with new usage. (guix-pack): Validate and propagate new argument values. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix pack)[deb]: Document how to list advanced options. Add an example. * tests/pack.scm (deb archive...): Provide extra-options to the debian-archive procedure, and validate that the provided files are embedded in the pack.
2021-07-17doc: Fix docker-configuration field names.Brice Waegeneire
* doc/guix.texi (Docker): Correct filed names "docker" and "docker-cli".
2021-07-15doc: Use Awk in one of the examples.Maxim Cournoyer

2021-06-04utils: Define ‘search-input-file’ procedure.Maxime Devos
The procedure ‘which’ from (guix build utils) is used for two different purposes: 1. for finding the absolute file name of a binary that needs to run during the build process 2. for finding the absolute file name of a binary, for the target system (as in --target=TARGET), e.g. for substituting sh->/gnu/store/.../bin/sh, python->/gnu/store/.../bin/python. When compiling natively (target=#f in Guix parlance), this is perfectly fine. However, when cross-compiling, there is a problem. "which" looks in $PATH for binaries. That's good for purpose (1), but incorrect for (2), as the $PATH contains binaries from native-inputs instead of inputs. This commit defines a ‘search-input-file’ procedure. It functions like 'which', but instead of searching in $PATH, it searches in the 'inputs' of the build phase, which must be passed to ‘search-input-file’ as an argument. Also, the file name must include "bin/" or "sbin/" as appropriate. * guix/build/utils.scm (search-input-file): New procedure. * tests/build-utils.scm ("search-input-file: exception if not found") ("search-input-file: can find if existent"): Test it. * doc/guix.texi (File Search): Document it.
