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".

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. Add "zstd". * doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Mention zstd.

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.

2021-02-23services: cuirass: Improve simple-cuirass-services.Mathieu Othacehe
Instead of returning multiple services in simple-cuirass-services, rely on the instantiate-missing-services procedure to instantiate postgresql and postgresql-role-service-type when missing. Turn simple-cuirass-services procedure into simple-cuirass-configuration->specs, that takes a simple-cuirass-configuration record and returns a Cuirass specification. Suggested-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org> * gnu/services/cuirass.scm (%default-cuirass-config): Remove it. (simple-cuirass-services): Rename it to ...
