2023-07-18gnu: Deprecate `texlive-tiny'....At this point, there are three equivalent TeX Live sub-systems: texlive-scheme-basic, texlive-tiny, and (texlive-updmap.cfg). It is confusing to keep so many around. * doc/contributing.texi (Submitting Patches): Remove reference to TEXLIVE-TINY. * gnu/packages/algebra.scm (pari-gp)[native-inputs]: (giac)[native-inputs]: * gnu/packages/chez.scm (chez-sockets)[native-inputs]: * gnu/packages/engineering.scm (fastcap)[native-inputs]: * gnu/packages/gettext.scm (po4a)[native-inputs]: * gnu/packages/maths.scm (cddlib)[native-inputs]: (gnuplot)[native-inputs]: (itpp)[native-inputs]: * gnu/packages/ocaml.scm (unison)[native-inputs]: * gnu/packages/pdf.scm (extractpdfmark)[native-inputs]: * gnu/packages/photo.scm (enblend-enfuse): Replace TEXLIVE-TINY with a call to TEXLIVE-UPDMAP.CFG. * gnu/packages/radio.scm (gnuradio)[native-inputs]: Remove unnecessary TEXLIVE-TINY. * gnu/packages/tex.scm (texlive-tiny): Deprecate it in favor of TEXLIVE-SCHEME-BASIC. (texlive-makecmds)[native-inputs]: Replace TEXLIVE-TINY with a call to TEXLIVE-UPDMAP.CFG. * guix/lint.scm (check-inputs-should-be-native): Check only for "texlive-updmap.cfg" input name. Nicolas Goaziou
2023-06-12doc: Move and rewrite the branching strategy....Move away from using staging and core-updates, and make the strategy independant of branch names. Keep the 300 dependent threshold for changes to master, as I don't have any specific reason to change this. Most importantly, require using guix-patches issues to coordinate merging of the branches, as I think that'll address the key issues that have shown up recently where it's been unclear which branch should be merged next. * doc/contributing.texi (Submitting Patches): Move the branching strategy to a new Managing Patches and Branches section. (Managing Patches and Branches): New section. (Commit Policy): Simplify through referencing the new Managing Patches and Branches section.

2023-06-08doc: Use the term "Procedure" for definitions....In an effort to homogenize things, commit 3c40dfe2851dd4ef48d2711f9f3531c06afbe1f2 replaced: @deffn {Scheme Procedure} with: @defun However, the latter prints "Function" when all existing material about Scheme uses the term "procedure". Thus, for consistency, this commit switches to: @deffn {Procedure} * doc/guix.texi, doc/contributing.texi: Use "@deffn {Procedure}" consistently rather than "@defun" or similar. Ludovic Courtès
2023-05-24doc: contributing.texi: Specify recipient via equal sign in 'git send-email -......The documentation for git send-email recommends the use of an equal sign when specifying a recipient with the --to option. [1] Adjusts the reference manual accordingly. [1] https://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email * doc (contributing.texi): Specify recipient via equal sign in 'git send-email --to'.

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.

2023-05-01doc: 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. (Commit Access): Refer to the Configuring Git section instead of detailing manual steps. Maxim Cournoyer

2023-01-11doc: contributing: Tweak the Commit Policy....Add more examples of when it can be appropriate to push changes without review, as I think this can be appropriate in the case of trivial changes (as mentioned before), but also non-trivial fixes. No longer suggest pushing simple new packages or package upgrades (that don't cause lots of rebuilds) without sending to guix-patches. Now there's some automation for testing changes sent to guix-patches, sending changes there before pushing can mean that more rigorous testing takes place and help speed up substitutes becoming available. This is true, even if no human review takes place. Only suggest waiting one week for review for simpler changes, wait two weeks for more significant changes. Also, reorder some of the information in this section so it's grouped together better. * doc/contributing.texi (Commit Policy): Tweak.
