2023-05-24home: services: ssh: Do not empty ~/.ssh/authorized_keys by default....The default was an empty list which would remove any ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file and replace it with a symlink to an empty file. On some systems, notably Ubuntu 22.10, the guix home generated ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file does not allow login. * doc/guix.texi (Secure Shell): Update, describe default #false value. * gnu/home/services/ssh.scm (<home-openssh-configuration>) [authorized-keys]: Change default to #f.

2023-05-07Revert "doc: Update all menus."...This reverts commit 9719d7d2b0733c57e30bff3180ff0fa25c34c66f. It breaks Guix pull, building the 'guix-manual' for reasons that currently escape me. Maxim Cournoyer
2023-05-07doc: Update all menus....Automated via 'M-x texinfo-all-menus-update' in Emacs, and dropping the *Contributing menu removal, which is erroneously removed because defined in a different Texinfo file. * doc/guix.texi: Update all menus. * doc/contributing.texi (Submitting Patches): Likewise.

2023-05-06doc: cookbook: Remove outdated section about GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH....The section insisted on GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH, mentioned version 0.16, and didn't say much about channels, which made it look obsolete. * doc/guix-cookbook.texi (GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH): Remove section.

2023-05-01doc: Simplify contributing section by automating git configuration....Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58813>. No longer suggests to splice the output of etc/teams.scm commands into the 'git send-email' command line; this is now transparently handled by the Git configuration, which is also automatic. * doc/contributing.texi (Configuring Git): Streamline section, now automated via Automake. (Sending a Patch Series): Do not specify options configured as default by the above. Prefer long option names, for readability. (Teams): Rewrite the examples to use --header-cmd.

2023-04-25services: tor: Deprecate 'tor-hidden-service' procedure....Due to (now renamed) 'hidden-service' record type not being exported, the only way Onion services (formely hidden services) could have worked is through the now deprecated 'tor-hidden-service' procedure. This commit updates the Tor service documentation, corrects some inconsistently named accessors in <tor-configuration> record-type, renames and refactors tor-hidden-service-configuration to tor-onion-service-configuration using define-configuration and also exports it, allowing Onion services to be configured directly within a <tor-configuration> record. Lastly, it also deprecates the 'tor-hidden-service' procedure. * doc/guix.texi (Networking Services): Substitute mentions of “Hidden services” with “Onion Services”. Add a Tor Onion service configuration example. Document <tor-onion-service-configuration>. Remove mention of 'tor-hidden-service' procedure. * gnu/services/networking.scm: Export tor-configuration-tor, tor-configuration-config-file, tor-configuration-hidden-services, tor-configuration-socks-socket-type, tor-configuration-control-socket-path, tor-onion-service-configuration, tor-onion-service-configuration?, tor-onion-service-configuration-name, tor-onion-service-configuration-mapping. (<tor-configuration>)[control-socket?]: Rename accessor. (<hidden-service>): Replace with … (<tor-onion-service-configuration>): … this. (tor-configuration->torrc): Update record-type name. (tor-activation): Ditto. (tor-hidden-service-type): Remove variable. (tor-hidden-service): Deprecate procedure. Signed-off-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org> Bruno Victal

2023-04-21home: services: openssh: Add configuration option for jump proxies...Add a new 'proxy' field to openssh-host to allow ProxyCommand or ProxyJump, but not both, to be configured. Configuring both would cause the serialization order to determine which one is used. Deprecate the 'proxy-command' field because the 'proxy' field replaces it. * gnu/home/services/ssh.scm (proxy-jump->string, proxy-command-or-jump-list?, serialize-proxy-command-or-jump-list, sanitize-proxy-command): New procedure. (proxy-jump, proxy-command): New record type.

2023-04-02services: configuration: Add user-defined sanitizer support....This changes the 'custom-serializer' field into a generic 'extra-args' field that can be extended to support new literals. Within extra-args, the literals 'sanitizer' and 'serializer' allow for user-defined sanitization and serialization procedures respectively. The 'empty-serializer' was also added as a literal to be used as before. To prevent confusion between the new “explicit” style of specifying a sanitizer, and the old “implicit” style, the latter has been deprecated, and a warning is issued if it is encountered. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (define-configuration-helper): Rename 'custom-serializer' to 'extra-args'. Add support for literals 'sanitizer', 'serializer' and 'empty-serializer'. Rename procedure 'field-sanitizer' to 'default-field-sanitizer' to avoid syntax clash. Only define default field sanitizers if user-defined ones are absent. (normalize-extra-args): New variable. (<configuration-field>)[sanitizer]: New field. * doc/guix.texi (Complex Configurations): Document the newly added literals. * tests/services/configuration.scm: Add tests for the new literals.
