Jan (janneke) Nieuwenhuizen 2023-03-072024-06-26etc: Add explicit ‘--substitute-urls’ in guix-daemon service files....Having substitute URLs explicitly listed in the service startup file makes it clearer what should be modified to permanently change the list of substitute URLs. * config-daemon.ac: Rename ‘guix_substitute_urls’ to ‘GUIX_SUBSTITUTE_URLS’ and substitute it. * nix/local.mk (etc/guix-%.service, etc/init.d/guix-daemon) (etc/guix-%.conf): Substitute it. * etc/guix-daemon.conf.in, etc/guix-daemon.service.in, etc/init.d/guix-daemon.in: Add an explicit ‘--substitute-urls’ option. Change-Id: Ie491b7fab5c42e54dca582801c03805a85de2bf9 Ludovic Courtès 2024-04-03Switch order of the default substitute servers....The aim here is to improve the user experience. There's anecdotal evidence that the network performance for bordeaux is better compared to ci at least for some users, and I don't know of any issues with rate limiting or access restriction for bordeaux compared to ci. It also has IPv6 support. Additionally, bordeaux generally had more substitutes than ci, particularly for aarch64-linux and armhf-linux. This change will offer a very slight speedup for those substitutes that only bordeaux has. Bordeaux has been a default substitute server for nearly 3 years now and I think this change is overdue. I'm also hopeful that we'll be able to build on the testing regarding mirrors for bordeaux, and that'll allow potentially improving the hosting setup (through providing more redundancy) and further improving substitute fetching for users who currently have issues with substitute access. * config-daemon.ac: Switch substitute urls order. * doc/guix.texi: Ditto. * etc/guix-install.sh: Ditto. * gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (wait-service-online): Ditto. * guix/store.scm (%default-substitute-urls): Ditto.

This is better, because translators are more likely to translate guix.pot, and is also easier, because files in gnu/{home/,}services need to be in po/guix/POTFILES.in anyway and po/guix/Makevars already acts on the 'description' keyword because of lint checkers. * guix/scripts/home.scm (service-type-description-string): Use translations from guix.pot. * guix/scripts/system/search.scm (service-type-description-string) (service-type->recutils): Likewise. * po/packages/POTFILES.in: Move files in gnu/services to ... * po/guix/POTFILES.in: ... here. pelzflorian (Florian Pelz) 2022-11-15installer: Report known-unsupported PCI devices....* gnu/installer/hardware.scm: New file. * gnu/local.mk (INSTALLER_MODULES): Add it. * po/guix/POTFILES.in: Add it. * gnu/installer.scm (installer-steps): Pass #:pci-database to the 'welcome' step procedure. * gnu/installer/newt.scm (welcome-page): Add #:pci-database and pass it to 'run-welcome-page'. * gnu/installer/newt/welcome.scm (check-hardware-support): Add #:pci-database. Enumerate unsupported PCI devices and run an error page when unsupported devices are found.
