The 'stop' method of Shepherd services is supposed to return #f on
success.
* gnu/services/base.scm (console-font-shepherd-services): 'stop' method
returns #f.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Replace rngd-service with rngd-service-type.
Document <rngd-configuration>.
* gnu/services/base.scm (<rngd-configuration>): Set default values from
the values in the now deprecated 'rngd-service' procedure.
(rngd-service): Deprecate procedure.
(rngd-service-type): Set default value.

Fixes a regression introduce in 01334a61c7
that would prevent system cross-compilation (with "guix system image
--target=...") due to 'font-gnu-unifont' depending on 'perl-gd', which
currently cannot be cross-compiled.
* gnu/services/base.scm (%default-console-font, kmscon-service-type):
Refer to 'font-gnu-unifont' with 'ungexp-native'.
It has even better language support than LatGrkCyr-8x16 and can show
fancy progress bars.
* gnu/services/base.scm (%default-console-font): Use unifont.
* gnu/services/base.scm (<host>): New record type.
(host): New procedure.
(hosts-service-type): New variable.
* doc/guix.texi (Service Reference): Document it.

* gnu/services/base.scm (<greetd-terminal-configuration>)[source-profile?]:
New field.
(make-greetd-terminal-configuration-file): Serialize new field to
configuration file.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Document it.
This provides glyphs for additional fonts such as Amharic that were
otherwise missing.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/60164>.
Reported by Wolf <wolf@wolfsden.cz>.
* gnu/services/base.scm (kmscon-service-type): In 'start' method,
pass #:environment-variables to set 'XDG_DATA_DIRS'.
This reduces the closure size of systems by removing one glibc
copy--namely (@ (gnu packages base) glibc) in addition to (@ (gnu
packages commencement) glibc-final).
* gnu/services/base.scm (<nscd-configuration>)[glibc]: Change default
value to use 'let-system' and 'canonical-package' as appropriate.
* gnu/services/base.scm (<greetd-configuration>)
[greeter-supplementary-groups]: New field.
(%greetd-accounts): Rename to...
(greetd-accounts): ... this. Convert to a function that takes a config
argument. Use greeter-supplementary-groups.
(greetd-service-type): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/tests/desktop.scm (%minimal-services): Add test for
greeter-supplementary-groups.
* doc/guix.texi ("Base Services")[greetd-service-type]: Document
greeter-supplementary-groups.
* gnu/services/base.scm (greetd-service-type): New variable
* gnu/services/base.scm (greetd-configuration): New data type
* gnu/services/base.scm (greetd-terminal-configuration): New data type
* gnu/services/base.scm (greetd-agreety-session): New data type
* gnu/services/base.scm (pam-limits-service-type): Should be aware of
greetd PAM service
* gnu/services/pam-mount.scm (pam-mount-pam-service): Should be aware
of greetd PAM service

Previously Inetutils' syslogd would call 'fsync' after each line written
to a file. This would significantly increase boot times on machines
with slow-ish spinning HDDs, where each 'fsync' call would take between
0.1s and 0.4s (and we'd do two of them for each line, one for
/var/log/messages and one for /var/log/debug).
* gnu/services/base.scm (%default-syslog.conf): Add a '-' before each
file name, except /var/log/secure. Change what goes to /var/log/debug.
This is a followup to b06ecc5751,
211fe3f66e, and
fd57ce267c.
* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-publish-shepherd-service): Change 'stop'
method to use 'make-systemd-destructor' when 'make-systemd-constructor'
is used.
* gnu/services/dict.scm (dicod-shepherd-service): Change 'stop' method
to use 'make-inetd-destructor' when 'make-inetd-constructor' is used.
* gnu/services/messaging.scm (bitlbee-shepherd-service): Likewise.
* gnu/services/base.scm (<guix-configuration>)[generate-substitute-key?]:
New field.
(guix-activation): Honor it.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Document it.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47681>.
This change adjusts the location of the udev configuration file and rules
directory to a fixed location. Since udev relies on inotify to discover
change to its rules directory (/etc/udev/rules.d), by using a fixed directory
layout, new udev rules can be automatically picked up without restarting the
service.
* gnu/services/base.scm (udev-rules-union): Build rules output directly
in #$output.
(udev-shepherd-service)[start]: Adjust the UDEV_CONFIG_FILE and
EUDEV_RULES_DIRECTORY environment variables.
[actions]: Remove field. The 'rules' action is no longer useful.
(udev.conf): New variable.
(udev-etc): New procedure.
(udev-service-type): Extend the etc-service-type with it.
