* guix/profiles.scm (generation-number): Add optional 'base-profile'
parameter and use it.

as first argument to 'generation-number'.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system): Clarify that 'guix system
describe' shows the running system.
Suggested by Maxime Devos <maximedevos@telenet.be>
and Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer@gmail.com>.
* doc/guix.texi (package Reference): Clarify 'native-search-paths'
vs. 'search-paths'.
(Search Paths): Link to it. Remove unnecessarily "define libxml2".
Reword 'file-pattern' description that said "When true".
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52766>.
Reported by Michael Rohleder <mike@rohleder.de>.
* gnu/machine/ssh.scm (<machine-ssh-configuration>)[safety-checks?]: New
field.
(machine-check-file-system-availability): Return the empty list when
'safety-checks?' is false.
(machine-check-initrd-modules): Likewise.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix deploy): Document it.
Make sure that the images are created with a non volatile root by default and
the vm are created with a volatile root by default. Break the --volatile
option into --volatile-image and --persistent-vm options.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (perform-action): Turn volatile? argument into
volatile-vm-root?.
(show-help): Introduce --volatile-image and --persistent-vm options instead of
--volatile.
(%default-options): Adapt it.
(%options): Handle those options.
(process-action): Honor them.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system): Adapt it accordingly.
* gnu/services/telephony.scm (jami-configuration)[jamid]: Rename libring to
libjami.

(jami-configuration->command-line-arguments): Adjust daemon file name.
* gnu/services/telephony.scm (jami-service-type): Adjust doc.

'dring'.
* doc/guix.texi (Telephony Services): Adjust doc for the jami-qt to jami and
libring to libjami packages renaming.
This enables profile caching not just when '-m' or '-f' is used, but
also when package specs are passed on the command line, as in:
guix shell -D guix git
It also changes profile cache keys to include the system type, which was
previously ignored.
* guix/scripts/shell.scm (options-with-caching)[single-file-for-caching]:
Remove.
Call 'profile-cached-gc-root' instead; adjust to accept two values.
(profile-cache-primary-key): New procedure.
(profile-cache-key): Remove.
(profile-file-cache-key, profile-spec-cache-key): New procedures.
(profile-cached-gc-root): Rewrite to include functionality formally in
'single-file-for-caching', but extend to handle package specs.
* gnu/packages.scm (cache-is-authoritative?): Export.
* guix/transformations.scm (transformation-option-key?): New procedure.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix shell): Move '--rebuild-cache'
documentation to the bottom, just above '--root'. Explain caching and
how these two options relate to that.
The old output differs greatly from the current one and contains a typo.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix home): Update ‘guix home search’ output
sample.
This is a followup to 05c962594c.
Discussed at <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/51307#24>.
* guix/scripts/hash.scm (%options): Warn about deprecation for
"--recursive", but not for '-r' as it's a convenient shorthand. Mention
'--serializer=nar' in the deprecation message.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix hash): Adjust accordingly.
* guix/build/julia-build-system.scm (link-depot): Create 'Project.toml' file
when missing using data provided by the user.
(julia-create-package-toml): Remove from export.
* doc/guix.texi (Build Systems): Update julia-build-system section.

nmtui does not benefit from being setuid. Oops.
* doc/guix.texi (Setuid Programs): Replace network-manager's /bin/nmtui
with nfs-utils' /sbin/mount.nfs. Change a @code{} to a @command{}.
Based on user feedback, the shadow / passwd example was too obscure for those
who aren't familiar with the shadow collection of tools. And it was also
considered confusing for the two examples to use different packages.
* doc/guix.texi (Setuid Programs): Use 'nmtui' in the examples.
Suggested by Alexander Asteroth <alexander.asteroth@h-brs.de>.
* doc/guix.texi (Defining Package Variants): Document all the supported
clauses of 'modify-inputs'.
This avoids issues where the coordinator component dependencies (like sqitch
and guile-fibers) make it harder to use the agent.
* gnu/packages/package-management.scm (guix-build-coordinator/agent-only): New
variable.
* gnu/services/guix.scm (<guix-build-coordinator-agent-configuration>): Use
the guix-build-coordinator/agent-only package by default.
* doc/guix.texi (Guix Services): Update accordingly.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52539>.
Reported by Jacob First <jacob.first@member.fsf.org>.
* gnu/build/accounts.scm (allocate-passwd): Add comment as to why
'real-name' is taken from PREVIOUS. Add (not system?) to the
condition.
* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-etc-service) <login.defs>: Add
"CHFN_RESTRICT".
* gnu/system.scm (%setuid-programs): Add "chfn".
* gnu/system/pam.scm (base-pam-services): Add "chfn".
* doc/guix.texi (User Accounts): Document it.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Use the image API to
generate the docker images and deprecate the docker-image command.
(process-action): Ditto.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system): Adapt it.
This code duplicates the (gnu system image) and (gnu build image) code. Using
VM for image generation is not needed, not portable and really slow. Remove
all the VM image generation code to make sure that only the image API is used.
* gnu/build/vm.scm: Remove it. Move the qemu-command procedure to ...
* gnu/build/marionette.scm: ... here.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Adapt it.
* tests/modules.scm: Ditto.
* gnu/tests/install.scm: Ditto.
* gnu/system/vm.scm: Adapt it and remove expression->derivation-in-linux-vm,
qemu-img, system-qemu-image/shared-store and system-docker-image procedures.
* doc/guix.texi (G-Expressions): Adapt it.
Until now the rsync service would export a single module, named
"files". This allows users to specify as many modules as they want, in
line with rsyncd.conf(5).
* gnu/services/rsync.scm (warn-share-field-deprecation): New procedure.
(<rsync-configuration>)[modules]: New field.
[share-path, share-comment, read-only?, timeout]: Mark as deprecated.
(<rsync-module>): New record type.
(%default-modules): New variable.
(rsync-configuration-modules): New procedure.
(rsync-activation): Create the directory of each module.
(rsync-config-file): Generate configuration for each module.
(rsync-service-type)[description]: New field.
