Sometimes two configurations might have the same types for their field values,
but the values might be serialized in two completely different
ways (e.g. because the two programs have different configuration languages).
An example of this would be the ‘serialize-boolean’ procedure in (gnu services
mail) and (gnu services getmail). They both serialize a boolean value, but
because the Dovecot’s configuration language has a different syntax to the
configuration language for Getmail, two different procedures have to be
defined.
One way to workaround this would be to specify custom serializers for many
fields in order to separate the serialization of the values that have the same
type but serialize in different ways. This could get very tedious, especially
if there are many configurations in the same module.
Another way would be to move one of the configurations to its own module, like
what was done with (gnu services getmail). However, this would mean that
there would be multiple modules containing configurations for related
programs, e.g. we have (gnu services mail) and (gnu services getmail), it
doesn’t make much sense to keep the Getmail configuration in its own module.
This patch will allow one to write something like this:
(define-configuration foo-configuration
(bar
(string "bob")
"Option bar.")
(prefix bar-))
and the value of the ‘bar’ field would be serialized using a procedure named
‘bar-serialize-string’ instead of just ‘serialize-string’.
* gnu/services/configuration.scm (define-maybe-helper): Accept ‘prefix’
argument for using serializer with custom prefix.
(define-maybe): Pattern match on ‘prefix’ literal.
(define-configuration-helper): Accept ‘prefix’ argument for using serializer
with custom prefix.
(define-configuration): Pattern match on ‘prefix’ literal.
* tests/services/configuration.scm ("serialize-configuration with prefix"):
New test.

This reverts commit fd62b4cf88, which
would lead 'GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH' to be ignored for instance when using
'guix build -f file.scm', as shown by 'tests/guix-build.sh'.
This reduces the number of syscalls for:
env -i $(type -P strace) -c $(type -P guix) help
from 4.3K to 2.2K, thereby reducing startup time.
Reported by Julien Lepiller.
* guix/ui.scm (run-guix-command): Move %FILE-PORT-NAME-CANONICALIZATION
to...
(run-guix): ... here.
It has been reported in IRC, that directories may show up multiple times in
subdirs.el, probably a result of propagation. This can for instance be seen
by ‘guix environment --ad-hoc emacs emacs-guix’, which will generate multiple
references to dash. With this patch only one reference per package is
generated.
* guix/profiles.scm (emacs-subdirs): wrap subdirs added to
‘normal-top-level-add-to-load-path’ in ‘delete-duplictes’.
Add go@1.16 as a non-default go. Changes from 1.14: Use now-supported GO_LDSO
configuration option for setting the interpreter. Bootstrap with gccgo on
platforms which do not support go-1.4. Fix and re-enable cmd/go script tests.
Fix typo in cgoldflags patch. Break out tests into "check" phase. Remove
references to perl to reduce closure size by ~10%. Set GOCACHE so go doesn't
attempt to access $HOME.
* gnu/packages/patches/go-fix-script-tests.patch: New file.
* local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Register it.
* gnu/packages/golang.scm (go-1.16): New variable. Use the patch.
