Add more examples of when it can be appropriate to push changes without
review, as I think this can be appropriate in the case of trivial changes (as
mentioned before), but also non-trivial fixes.
No longer suggest pushing simple new packages or package upgrades (that don't
cause lots of rebuilds) without sending to guix-patches. Now there's some
automation for testing changes sent to guix-patches, sending changes there
before pushing can mean that more rigorous testing takes place and help speed
up substitutes becoming available. This is true, even if no human review takes
place.
Only suggest waiting one week for review for simpler changes, wait two weeks
for more significant changes.
Also, reorder some of the information in this section so it's grouped together
better.
* doc/contributing.texi (Commit Policy): Tweak.

* doc/guix.texi (Swap Space): Add a concise introduction to hibernation and
specifying a swap space to the kernel to make resume work. Mention space
requirements and the need of an offset for swap files. Include a trivial
example on how to set up a mapped swap volume for hibernation and another one
for a swap file, including how to compute the file offset.

'udev-configuration' example to avoid 'match'.

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.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59463>.

* doc/guix-cookbook.texi (Reproducible profiles): Make it work.
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/services/networking.scm (network-manager-configuration)[iwd?]: New
field.
(network-manager-shepherd-service): Add iwd to requirements if needed.
* doc/guix.texi: Add information about iwd? option.
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.
* doc/guix.texi (Package Management)[Invoking guix package]:
Mention support for operating on store file names.

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.
Increasing it mitigates that.
* guix/scripts/offload.scm (<build-machine>)[overload-threshold]: Bump
to 0.8.
* doc/guix.texi (Daemon Offload Setup): Likewise.
* doc/guix.texi (Defining Package Variants): Document the "prepend" clause of
modify-inputs first.
* guix/packages.scm (modify-inputs): use "prepend" in the docstring.

This reverts commit 39e4e00f75, with fixes for
the guix home issues reported and another one found while reconfiguring berlin
in the subsequent commit.
This reverts commit 543d971ed2, and
its dependent commit 9b21cd2e9a, which
appear to have triggered a recent wave of ‘guix home’ regressions
involving (services (list (service home-bash-service-type))):
In gnu/home/services/shells.scm:
504:7 3 (home-bash-extensions #<<home-bash-configuration> package: #<package bash@5.1.8 gnu/packages/ba…> …)
In unknown file:
2 (append #<<location> file: "…" line: 14 column: 12> ())
In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
1685:16 1 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _)
1685:16 0 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _)
ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:
In procedure append: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting empty list): #<<location> file: "…" line: 14 column: 12>
I should love to dive in & fix this rather than revert, but urgently
need sleep.
