2022-07-17Revert "guix gc: '--delete-generations' now deletes old Home generations."...This reverts commit ba22560627f848f40891a56355ff26b6de1380bc. Tobias Geerinckx-Rice
2022-07-23doc: Clarify "Replicating Guix" section....* doc/guix.texi (Specifying Additional Channels): Replace 'guix pull --list-generations' example with 'guix describe'. (Replicating Guix): Rewrite to insist on 'guix describe', to include an example capturing channels and another one restoring them, and mention "lock files". Ludovic Courtès
2022-07-23guix gc: '--delete-generations' now deletes old Home generations....Previously, 'guix gc -d4m' would ignore Home generations.

2022-06-10services: jami: Modernize to adjust to Shepherd 0.9+ changes....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.

Remove no longer used parameters. <jami-dbus-session>: Use a PID file, avoiding the need for the manual synchronization. <jami>: Set DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable. 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'. Maxim Cournoyer

2022-06-06bootloader: grub: Add removable grub-efi bootloader option....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.
