2022-03-01initrd: Honor rootfstype and rootflags command-line parameters.Maxim Cournoyer
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Honor rootfstype and rootflags arguments. Update doc. Error out in case there is insufficient information with regard to the root file system.

2022-03-01initrd: Use non-hyphenated kernel command-line parameter names.Maxim Cournoyer

Adjust doc.

2022-02-27gnu: glibc-utf8-locales: Hide the package.Maxim Cournoyer

Instead, provide an example for defining a custom locales package.

2022-02-23doc: Fix 'setuid-program' example.John Kehayias
%setuid-programs was previously moved to be in the list sexp instead of just the append one. This causes an "invalid G-expression input" error. Error reported by: Kolev on #guix. * doc/guix.texi (Setuid Programs): Move %setuid-programs out to the append sexp. Signed-off-by: Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer@gmail.com>

2022-02-15doc: Clarify the Swap Space examples, and include an helper example.Josselin Poiret
* doc/guix.texi (Swap Space): The examples referred to variables defined outside of the snippets, and so were not very informative for people without much Guile knowledge. Instead, refer to mapped-devices for the first, and use the new helper file-systme-mount-point-predicate for the second. Signed-off-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>

2022-02-14git-authenticate: Ensure the target is a descendant of the introductory commit.Ludovic Courtès
Fixes a bug whereby authentication of a commit *not* descending from the introductory commit could succeed, provided the commit verifies the authorization invariant. In the example below, A is a common ancestor of the introductory commit I and of commit X. Authentication of X would succeed, even though it is not a descendant of I, as long as X is authorized according to the '.guix-authorizations' in A: X I \ / A This is because, 'authenticate-repository' would not check whether X descends from I, and the call (commit-difference X I) would return X. In practice that only affects forks because it means that ancestors of the introductory commit already contain a '.guix-authorizations' file. * guix/git-authenticate.scm (authenticate-repository): Add call to 'commit-descendant?'. * tests/channels.scm ("authenticate-channel, not a descendant of introductory commit"): New test. * tests/git-authenticate.scm ("authenticate-repository, target not a descendant of intro"): New test. * tests/guix-git-authenticate.sh: Expect earlier test to fail since 9549f0283a78fe36f2d4ff2a04ef8ad6b0c02604 is not a descendant of $intro_commit. Add new test targeting an ancestor of the introductory commit, and another test targeting the v1.2.0 commit. * doc/guix.texi (Specifying Channel Authorizations): Add a sentence.
