This feedback should help us improve updaters.
* guix/lint.scm (check-for-updates): Return a warning when PACKAGE lacks
an updater or when the updater returns #f.
* guix/upstream.scm (package-latest-release): Try UPDATERS until one of
them returns an upstream source. This is useful for packages with
several matching updaters, such a zlib ('sourceforge' and
'generic-html').
This updater currently covers 2.4% of the packages.
* guix/gnu-maintenance.scm (latest-sourceforge-release): New procedure.
(%sourceforge-updater): New variable.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix refresh): Document it.
The makeinfo command splits the generated info output in multiple files (in
300 KiB chunks) by default; this meant the build system would have had to
install the multiple QEMU.info-1, QEMU.info-2, etc. files for the info manual
to work as intended. Instead, keep the info manual as one single file by
specifying the --no-split option to makeinfo.
* gnu/packages/patches/qemu-build-info-manual.patch (sphinxinfo)
<makeinfo>: Invoke with the --no-split argument.
* gnu/packages/virtualization.scm (virt-manager): Update to 3.2.0.
[arguments]: Remove #:test-target. Remove fix-qemu-img-reference phase.
Adapt check phase to use pytest, although they still do not run.
[native-inputs]: Add python-docutils. Suggest adding python-pytest to enable
tests.
* gnu/packages/virtualization.scm (libvirt): Update to 7.2.0.
[arguemnts]: Switch to meson, only build system supported by upstream.
[inputs]: Add libssh2 and readline.
[native-inputs]: Add bash-completion, gettext, python-docutils and
rpcsvc-proto.
* gnu/packages/patches/libvirt-add-install-prefix.patch: New file...
* gnu/local.mk: ...add it.
* gnu/packages/patches/libvirt-create-machine-cgroup.patch: Delete file,
merged by upstream.

Take advantage of patches that have been accepted upstream.
These changes lay a foundation for reusing more of Chez's
build process for Racket.
* gnu/packages/patches/chez-scheme-build-util-paths-backport.patch:
New file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/chez.scm (chez-scheme)[source](patches): Use it.
[source](snippet): Remove bundled libraries here, not in configure phase.
[inputs]: Organize. Move "nanopass", "stex", and "xorg-rgb" to ...
[native-inputs]: ... this field.
[arguments]: Add (ice-9 ftw) to #:modules. Remove unneeded
'patch-processor-detection' phase. Add 'unpack-nanopass+stex' phase
(refactored from 'configure'). Simplify 'configure' phase by removing
patches that have been upstreamed. Add "--nogzip-man-pages" flag so we can
remove 'make-manpages-writable' phase. Stop ignoring #:configure-flags,
move "--threads" there, and remove unneeded workaround. Add 'prepare-stex'
phase (refactored from 'install-doc'). Use it to streamline 'install-doc'
phase, installing all of the right files into the right places.
