2023-04-02services: configuration: Add user-defined sanitizer support.Bruno Victal
This changes the 'custom-serializer' field into a generic 'extra-args' field that can be extended to support new literals. Within extra-args, the literals 'sanitizer' and 'serializer' allow for user-defined sanitization and serialization procedures respectively. The 'empty-serializer' was also added as a literal to be used as before. To prevent confusion between the new “explicit” style of specifying a sanitizer, and the old “implicit” style, the latter has been deprecated, and a warning is issued if it is encountered. * gnu/services/configuration.scm (define-configuration-helper): Rename 'custom-serializer' to 'extra-args'. Add support for literals 'sanitizer', 'serializer' and 'empty-serializer'. Rename procedure 'field-sanitizer' to 'default-field-sanitizer' to avoid syntax clash. Only define default field sanitizers if user-defined ones are absent. (normalize-extra-args): New variable. (<configuration-field>)[sanitizer]: New field. * doc/guix.texi (Complex Configurations): Document the newly added literals. * tests/services/configuration.scm: Add tests for the new literals.

2023-03-13packages: 'package-input-rewriting/spec' ignores hidden packages.Ludovic Courtès
The primary motivation is to support things like: guix build guix --with-input=guile=guile-next without triggering a rebuild of (@@ (gnu packages commencement) guile-final) and similar things.
