2021-04-04doc: Remind developers to build Guix.Leo Famulari
The previous instructions were correct, but we got too many bug reports with a root cause of "did not build Guix yet". Other parts of the manual already instruct `make && make check`, so this makes the treatment of building Guix more consistent, too. * doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Instruct the user to run `make` when building Guix.

2021-03-15services/qemu-binfmt: Use the F flag and the static output of QEMU.Maxim Cournoyer
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/36117>. Before this change, the 'binfmt_misc' entries registered for QEMU would not be usable in container contexts outside of guix-daemon (without manually bind mounting file names). For example: $ docker run --rm arm32v7/debian true standard_init_linux.go:207: exec user process caused "no such file or directory" After this change, any container can make use of the QEMU binfmt_misc registrations, as their corresponding QEMU static binaries are fully pre-loaded by the kernel. * gnu/services/virtualization.scm (<qemu-platform>): Define using 'define-record-type*'. [flags]: New field, which defaults to "F" (fix binary). (%i386, %i486, %alpha, %arm, %armeb, %sparc, %sparc32plus, %ppc, %ppc64) (%ppc64le, %m68k, %mips, %mipsel, %mipsn32, %mipsn32el, %mips64, %mips64el) (%riscv32, %riscv64, %sh4, %sh4eb, %s390x, %aarch64, %hppa): Adjust. (qemu-binfmt-guix-chroot): Remove variable. (qemu-binfmt-service-type): Remove the qemu-binfmt-guix-chroot extension. * gnu/services/qemu-binfmt (qemu-platform->binfmt): Use the static output of QEMU. * doc/contributing.texi (Submitting Patches): Update doc. * doc/guix.texi (Virtualization Services): Update doc.

2020-11-12maint: update-guix-package: Optionally add sources to store.Maxim Cournoyer
Following discussions in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43893>, keeping a copy of the updated package source is desirable when generating a release. * build-aux/update-guix-package.scm (version-controlled?): Remove variable. (call-with-temporary-git-worktree): Renamed from 'with-temporary-git-worktree'. Update doc. Do not change directory implicitly. Define as a procedure, not a syntax. (keep-source-in-store): New procedure. (main): Adjust to use with call-with-temporary-git-worktree. Add the sources to the store when GUIX_ALLOW_ME_TO_USE_PRIVATE_COMMIT is set.

2020-10-19maint: update-guix-package: Prevent accidentally breaking guix pull.Maxim Cournoyer
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43893>. This changes the 'update-guix-package' tool so that it: 1. Always uses a clean checkout to compute the hash of the updated 'guix' package. 2. Ensures the commit used in the updated 'guix' package definition has already been pushed upstream. * build-aux/update-guix-package.scm (%savannah-guix-git-repo-push-url): New variable. (with-input-pipe-to-string, with-temporary-git-worktree): New syntaxes. (find-origin-remote, git-add-worktree): New procedures. (commit-already-pushed?): New predicate.
