2021-05-05build: Do not compress the (already compressed) VM qcow2 images.Maxim Cournoyer
The qcow2 format supports compression, and the qcow2 type supported by 'guix system image' produces compressed qcow2 images. * Makefile.am (release): Do not re-compress the qcow2 VM images with xz. * doc/guix.texi (Running Guix in a VM): Adjust VM image URL.
2021-05-05doc: Update the OpenPGP key used to sign the release.Maxim Cournoyer

2021-05-05Revert "doc: Update to cover for an additional OpenPGP signing key."Maxim Cournoyer
This reverts commit b9fb13b28437a254683273094f189396a6e1421d. Per discussions simply updating OPENPGP-SIGNING-KEY-ID and OPENPGP-SIGNING-KEY-URL will be enough.

(Binary Installation): Adjust to cover for the new key. (USB Stick and DVD Installation): Likewise. (Invoking guix refresh): Adjust accordingly.
2021-05-03maint: Do not xz-compress ISO images.Ludovic Courtès
The xz-compressed image is 23% smaller than the original ISO image (with built-in zlib compression), but the extra decompression step is unconventional and often a hindrance for users. See discussion at <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-04/msg00497.html>. * Makefile.am (release): Do not compress ISO images. * doc/guix.texi (USB Stick and DVD Installation): Remove ".xz" suffix from URL and file name.

2021-04-12services: postgresql: Change service default socket directory.Christopher Baines
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/46737>. PostgreSQL running with a different socket directory to the default one in the package itself breaks some services, this commit restores the previous behaviour where PostgreSQL by default will run with a socket directory that matches the default used by PostgreSQL packaged for Guix. Switching to a different default value can happen, but only alongside changing the PostgreSQL package. * gnu/services/databases.scm (<postgresql-config-file>)[socket-directory]: Change default to #false. * doc/guix.texi (Database Services): Update documentation, and specify a different value for disabling connections via sockets. * gnu/tests/guix.scm (%guix-data-service-os): Use default PostgreSQL behaviour. * gnu/tests/monitoring.scm (%zabbix-os): Likewise. * gnu/tests/web.scm (patchwork-os): Likewise.

2021-04-03services: guix-publish: Add zstd compression by default.Ludovic Courtès
That way, the default config with (advertises? #t) and without a cache will offer zstd-compressed substitutes, which should lead to much higher throughput than gzip. * gnu/services/base.scm (default-compression): When 'guix-publish-configuration-cache' returns true, use higher level compression ratios.

2021-03-16gnu: Remove MongoDB.Léo Le Bouter
mongodb 3.4.10 has unpatched CVEs and mongodb 3.4.24 has some files in the release tarball under the SSPL, therefore we cannot provide mongodb while upholding to good security standards. It turns out feff80cec3c97a3df2c20d300be12d67f79d4f22 was right since while the main license file wasnt altered to SSPL, some files in the tree contain SSPL headers. * gnu/packages/databases.scm (go-gopkg.in-mgo.v2): Remove. * gnu/packages/databases.scm (mongo-tools): Remove. * doc/guix.texi (mongodb-service-type): Remove. * gnu/tests/databases.scm (%test-mongodb, %mongodb-os, run-mongodb-test): Remove. * gnu/services/databases.scm (mongodb-configuration, mongodb-configuration?, mongodb-configuration-mongodb, mongodb-configuration-config-file, mongodb-configuration-data-directory, mongodb-service-type, %default-mongodb-configuration-file, %mongodb-accounts, mongodb-activation, mongodb-shepherd-service): Remove. * gnu/packages/databases.scm (mongodb): Remove.
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.
