* services: Make 'nscd-service' configurable; cache hosts/services by default.Ludovic Courtès2014-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before that, as it was given an empty configuration file, nscd would actually have all its caches disabled. * gnu/services/base.scm (<nscd-configuration>, <nscd-cache>): New record types. (%nscd-default-caches, %nscd-default-configuration): New variables. (nscd.conf-file): New procedure. (nscd-service): Add 'config' parameter. Use 'nscd.conf-file', and pass its result as the '-f' parameter of nscd. * doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Update 'nscd-service' documentation accordingly. Document 'nscd-configuration', 'nscd-cache', '%nscd-default-configuration', and '%nscd-default-caches'.
* doc: Explain how to set the ownership and permissions of /gnu/store.Ludovic Courtès2014-12-09
| | | | | | | | Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/19316>. Reported by rekado <rekado@elephly.net>. * doc/guix.texi (Build Environment Setup): Show commands to set the ownership and permissions of /gnu/store.
* doc: Give example uses of 'deco'.Ludovic Courtès2014-12-07

* guix: scripts: Parse $GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS separately.nebuli2014-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Appending to "raw" args broke optional parameters in 'guix package -I' and 'guix package -A', and possibly other places. Therefore, switch to parsing each set of options on its own and append resulting alists together afterwards. * guix/scripts/archive.scm (parse-options-from): Rename from (parse-options) and add explicit argument. New form of (parse-options) using its old algorithm via -from function. * guix/scripts/build.scm: Ditto. * guix/scripts/environment.scm: Ditto. * guix/scripts/package.scm: Ditto. * guix/scripts/system.scm: Ditto. * tests/guix-package.sh: Add test. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix build): Make it clear that the options are parsed independently.
