`make -j`.

* doc/contributing.texi (Running Guix Before It Is Installed): Writing "Do
<this>. But it won't work unless ..." is a bad practice.
Signed-off-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
* doc/contributing.texi (Contributing): Update the short description of the
"Tracking Bugs and Patches" chapter in the menu.
(Tracking Bugs and Patches): Split this section into three new subsections,
titled "The Issue Tracker", "Debbugs User Interfaces", and "Debbugs Usertags".
Of these, only the "Debbugs Usertags" is actually new.
In addition to substitutes from ci.guix.gnu.org. There are more changes that
can be made in the future, but these changes seem like a good start.
* config-daemon.ac (guix_substitute_urls): Add https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org.
* guix/scripts/substitute.scm (%default-substitute-urls): Add
http://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org.
* guix/store.scm (%default-substitute-urls): Add bordeaux.guix.gnu.org.
* doc/guix.texi: Adjust accordingly.
* doc/contributing.texi: Adjust accordingly.
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.

For more context, see the discussion in <https://bugs.gnu.org/47111>.
* doc/contributing.texi (Commit Access): Add paragraph about removing
inactive committers.
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).

QEMU.

Following discussions in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43893>, keeping a copy
of the updated package source is desirable when generating a release.
* build-aux/update-guix-package.scm (version-controlled?): Remove variable.
(call-with-temporary-git-worktree): Renamed from
'with-temporary-git-worktree'. Update doc. Do not change directory
implicitly. Define as a procedure, not a syntax.
(keep-source-in-store): New procedure.
(main): Adjust to use with call-with-temporary-git-worktree. Add the sources
to the store when GUIX_ALLOW_ME_TO_USE_PRIVATE_COMMIT is set. Exit gracefully
when FIND-ORIGIN-REMOTE returns #f.
(%savannah-guix-git-repo-push-url-regexp): Adjust match for a potential colon
separator.
* Makefile.am (GUIX_ALLOW_ME_TO_USE_PRIVATE_COMMIT): Adjust.
* .dir-locals.el (scheme-mode): Remove entry for with-temporary-git-worktree.
* doc/contributing.texi (Updating the Guix Package): Update doc.
Co-authored-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
* Makefile.am (GUIX_GIT_KEYRING): New variable.
(authenticate): Use GUIX_GIT_KEYRING to select the keyring branch
reference.
* doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Add an example about the
use of GUIX_GIT_KEYRING.
* doc/guix.texi (G-Expressions): Use @lisp for 'let-system' example.
* doc/contributing.texi (Synopses and Descriptions): Use @lisp for
second example.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43893>.
This changes the 'update-guix-package' tool so that it:
1. Always uses a clean checkout to compute the hash of the updated 'guix'
package.
2. Ensures the commit used in the updated 'guix' package definition has already
been pushed upstream.
* build-aux/update-guix-package.scm (%savannah-guix-git-repo-push-url): New
variable.
(with-input-pipe-to-string, with-temporary-git-worktree): New syntaxes.
(find-origin-remote, git-add-worktree): New procedures.
(commit-already-pushed?): New predicate.
(main): Check the commit used has already been pushed upstream and compute the
hash from a clean checkout.
* doc/contributing.texi (Updating the Guix Package): Document it.
* .dir-locals.el (scheme-mode): Fix indentation of with-temporary-git-worktree.
Suggested by Emmanuel Agullo.
* doc/contributing.texi (Running Guix Before It Is Installed): Move the
"./pre-inst-env guix-daemon" snippet at the bottom. Make it clear that
it's necessary only when hacking on guix-daemon or when guix-daemon is
not already running.
