* 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>.

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.

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.

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.

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.

'loopback' from 'networking'.
* gnu/build/hurd-boot.scm (set-hurd-device-translators): Remove
"servers/socket/2".

which is no longer provided.

It configures QEMU to use the tty it was started in for IO (as opposed to
opening a separate graphical window). This enables copy-pasting and
scrollback. Exit QEMU with C-a x.

various options into separate paragraphs. Add a paragraph to describe
--no-graphic.

Upstream raised these back in 2019 with CUPS 2.3.0.
* gnu/services/cups.scm (<cups-configuration>): Raise default
‘multiple-operation-timeout’ and ‘timeout’ from 300 to 900 seconds.

The meaning changed by accident when guix environment was replaced
by guix shell in 80edb7df65.
* doc/guix.texi (Debugging Build Failures): Add missing -D option.
This change is motivated by the need to disable the default 30 seconds timeout
that Meson uses (see: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2522), and
also by desire to specify extra options to run the check phase without having
to override it.
* guix/build-system/meson.scm (meson-build) <test-target>: Replace argument
with...
<test-options>: ... this one.
* guix/build/meson-build-system.scm (check): Invoke 'meson test' instead of
'ninja test-target', as the former is configurable via options.
* doc/guix.texi (Build Systems) <meson-build-system>: Update doc.
* guix/import/cran.scm (download): Handle the case where URL is a list.
(fetch-description-from-tarball): New procedure.
