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.
It was discussed on guix-devel that the manual only needs to have correct
instructions for the latest release.
* doc/guix.texi (OPENPGP-SIGNING-KEY-ID): Update to my public OpenPGP key.
(OPENPGP-SIGNING-KEY-URL): Adjust URL.
The upcoming 1.3.0 release will be signed with my OpenPGP key; subsequent
releases may also be.
* doc/guix.texi (OPENPGP-SIGNING-KEY-ID, OPENPGP-SIGNING-KEY-URL): Rename to...
(OPENPGP-SIGNING-KEY-ID-1, OPENPGP-SIGNING-KEY-URL-1): ... these,
respectively.
(OPENPGP-SIGNING-KEY-ID-2, OPENPGP-SIGNING-KEY-URL-2): New variables.
(Binary Installation): Adjust to cover for the new key.
(USB Stick and DVD Installation): Likewise.
(Invoking guix refresh): Adjust accordingly.
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.
(Copying to a USB Stick, Burning on a DVD): Remove introductory words,
@enumerate, and first item.

This change is so that the list of translated Texinfo files remain in sync
with the list of supported (translated) languages.
* doc/local.mk (MANUAL_LANGUAGES, COOKBOOK_LANGUAGES): New variables.
(lang_to_texinfos): New function.
(TRANSLATED_INFO): Use it to construct the list of files.

This is a follow up to commit ebf5d77eab, which added the qcow2 file extension
to the VM image file name.
* doc/guix.texi (Running Guix in a VM): Update URL.
This importer has suffered from bitrot and no longer works with current
Nix and Nixpkgs. See <https://bugs.gnu.org/32339> and
<https://bugs.gnu.org/36255>.
* guix/import/snix.scm, guix/scripts/import/nix.scm,
tests/snix.scm: Remove.
* Makefile.am (MODULES, SCM_TESTS): Remove them.
* guix/scripts/import.scm (importers): Remove "nix".
* build-aux/test-env.in: Remove NIXPKGS variable.
* configure.ac: Remove '--with-nixpkgs' option.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix import): Remove bit about "guix import
nix".
* etc/completion/fish/guix.fish: Likewise.
* gnu/services/databases.scm (mysql-configuration): Add extra-environment
(mysql-service): Use #:log-file and #:environment-variables
* doc/guix.texi: Document it.

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.

Before this change, the 'gnu-build-system' phases were listed in the
"Build Systems" section, and then summarized in the "Build Phases"
section. This moves everything to "Build Phases".
* doc/guix.texi (Build Systems): Move phase table to...
(Build Phases): ... here. Rearrange surrounding text.
This allows importing packages with complicated version specific dependency
chains without the package symbol names colliding.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix import): Document the --pin-versions option.
Mention that a specific version can be imported. Remove the experimental
warning.
* guix/import/go.scm (go-module->guix-package-name)[version]: Add optional
argument. Rewrite the character translation in terms of string-map.
(go-module->guix-package): Conditionally use dependencies whose symbol include
their version, based no the value of the PIN-VERSIONS? argument.
* guix/import/utils.scm (package->definition): Add a new case where the full
version string is appended to the package symbol.
* guix/scripts/import.scm (guix-import): Correctly print forms starting
with '(define-public [...]'.
* guix/scripts/import/go.scm (guix-import-go): Conditionally include the
version in the package symbols defined.
Otherwise, the shell tries to perform pattern-matching based on the "?"
character.
Reported by nij in #guix.
* doc/guix.texi (Binary Installation): Add quotes around OPENPGP-SIGNING-KEY-URL.
This updater currently covers 2.4% of the packages.
* guix/gnu-maintenance.scm (latest-sourceforge-release): New procedure.
(%sourceforge-updater): New variable.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix refresh): Document it.
The previous instructions were correct, but we got too many bug reports
with a root cause of "did not build Guix yet".
Other parts of the manual already instruct `make && make check`, so this
makes the treatment of building Guix more consistent, too.
* doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Instruct the user to run
`make` when building Guix.
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.
With this change, each substitute occupies a single line of
output (instead of two) when using '-v1', the default for 'guix package'
& co.
* guix/status.scm (print-build-event): Add #:print-urls? and honor it.
(print-build-event/quiet): Pass #:print-urls? #f.
(print-build-event/quiet-with-urls): New procedure.
(logger-for-level): Add case for LEVEL 2.
* doc/guix.texi (Common Build Options): Adjust '--verbosity'
documentation.
This is no longer needed as the Cuirass specification mechanism has been
rewritten.
* doc/guix.texi (Continuous Integration): Remove Simple Cuirass section.
* gnu/packages/julia-xyz.scm (julia-jllwrappers): New variable.
* doc/guix.texi (julia-build-system): Document how to use jllwrappers to use
to guix binary packages.
