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.

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

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.

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

This brings total updater coverage, as reported by 'guix refresh

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 feff80cec3 was right since while
the main license file wasnt altered to SSPL, some files in the tree contain
SSPL headers.

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).
