2022-12-07services: zabbix: Don't write user to configuration file.Marius Bakke
The service already runs with the specified user and group, so there is no use in writing it to the configuration files. This change is mainly done for compatibility with 'zabbix-agent2' which does not understand the User= setting, but also to document the correct data type for the "group" setting. * gnu/services/monitoring.scm (serialize-string): Filter USER and GROUP fields. (group?, serialize-group): Remove variables. (zabbix-server-configuration, zabbix-agent-configuration): Document the GROUP field as 'string'. * doc/guix.texi (Monitoring Services): Adjust accordingly.

2022-12-01gnu: bootloader: Rework chaining, add grub-efi-netboot-removable-bootloader.Stefan
This rework allows to use an (efi-bootloader-chain) like this, which is able to boot over network or local storage, depending on whether the bootloader target has support for symbolic links: (operating-system (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader (efi-bootloader-chain grub-efi-netboot-removable-bootloader #:packages (list my-firmware-package my-u-boot-package) #:files (list (plain-file "config.txt" "kernel=u-boot.bin")) #:hooks my-special-bootloader-profile-manipulator)) (targets '("/booti/efi")) …)) …) * doc/guix.texi (Bootloader Configuration): Describe the new ‘grub-efi-netboot-removable-bootloader’. Mention the file names used and that the UEFI Boot Manager is not modified. Advise to disable write-access over TFTP. * gnu/bootloader.scm (efi-bootloader-profile): Allow a list of packages and collect everything directly in the profile, avoiding a separate collection directory. Renamed the profile from "bootloader-profile" to "efi-bootloader-profile". [bootloader-collection]: Rename to... [efi-bootloader-profile-hook]: ... this and remove unused modules. Do not create the now extraneous collection directory. (efi-bootloader-chain): Add PACKAGES and DISK-IMAGE-INSTALLER arguments. Remove handling of the collection directory, now only calling the given installer procedure. * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (make-grub-efi-netboot-installer): New helper. (make-grub-configuration): New helper based on (grub-configuration-file). Add a GRUB argument, fix indentation, remove previous code retrieving GRUB from CONFIG. (grub-configuration-file): Make use of make-grub-configuration. (grub-efi-configuration-file): New procedure. (grub-cfg): New variable to replace "/boot/grub/grub.cfg". (install-grub-efi-netboot): Remove, splitting logic to... (make-grub-efi-netboot-installer): ... this new helper procedure, as well as to make-grub-efi-netboot, added below. (grub-bootloader): Adjust to use the GRUB-CFG. (grub-efi-bootloader): Likewise. Removed inheritance and declare all fields explicitly. (make-grub-efi-netboot-bootloader): New procedure. (grub-efi-netboot-bootloader): Use it. (grub-efi-netboot-removable-bootloader): New variable. * gnu/packages/bootloaders.scm (make-grub-efi-netboot): New procedure.

2022-11-29doc: Remove unimplemented 'herd rules udev'.Maxim Cournoyer
Since this text was added, the rules.d directory is now exposed straightforwardly via the standard /etc/udev/rules.d directory, so there's no need for a special 'rules' service action to print that directory. * doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Remove the paragraph documenting the nonexistent 'herd rules udev' command.

2022-11-23offload: Increase default 'overload-threshold' value.Ludovic Courtès
When offloading to a single machine, the previous default value would lead 'guix offload' to wait possibly for several minutes between subsequent builds until normalized load would finally go below 0.6.
