Partially fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55821>. Partially because our
git package doesn't yet include the documentation. This change will need to
go to core-updates.
* doc/contributing.texi (Submitting Patches): Adjust the node name.
* doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Tweak so that all the
commands appear in @example boxes. Show --localstatedir=/var instead of
--localstatedir=@var{directory}.
* doc/contributing.texi (Running Guix Before It Is Installed): Mention
how to remedy "source file ... newer than compiled" error by running
`make -j`.

* doc/contributing.texi (Running Guix Before It Is Installed): Writing "Do
<this>. But it won't work unless ..." is a bad practice.
Signed-off-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
* doc/contributing.texi (Contributing): Update the short description of the
"Tracking Bugs and Patches" chapter in the menu.
(Tracking Bugs and Patches): Split this section into three new subsections,
titled "The Issue Tracker", "Debbugs User Interfaces", and "Debbugs Usertags".
Of these, only the "Debbugs Usertags" is actually new.
In addition to substitutes from ci.guix.gnu.org. There are more changes that
can be made in the future, but these changes seem like a good start.
* config-daemon.ac (guix_substitute_urls): Add https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org.
* guix/scripts/substitute.scm (%default-substitute-urls): Add
http://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org.
* guix/store.scm (%default-substitute-urls): Add bordeaux.guix.gnu.org.
* doc/guix.texi: Adjust accordingly.
* doc/contributing.texi: Adjust accordingly.
The previous instructions were correct, but we got too many bug reports
with a root cause of "did not build Guix yet".
Other parts of the manual already instruct `make && make check`, so this
makes the treatment of building Guix more consistent, too.
* doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): Instruct the user to run
`make` when building Guix.

For more context, see the discussion in <https://bugs.gnu.org/47111>.
* doc/contributing.texi (Commit Access): Add paragraph about removing
inactive committers.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/36117>.
Before this change, the 'binfmt_misc' entries registered for QEMU would not be
usable in container contexts outside of guix-daemon (without manually bind
mounting file names).
For example:
$ docker run --rm arm32v7/debian true
standard_init_linux.go:207: exec user process caused "no such file or directory"
After this change, any container can make use of the QEMU binfmt_misc
registrations, as their corresponding QEMU static binaries are fully
pre-loaded by the kernel.
* gnu/services/virtualization.scm (<qemu-platform>): Define using
'define-record-type*'.
[flags]: New field, which defaults to "F" (fix binary).
(%i386, %i486, %alpha, %arm, %armeb, %sparc, %sparc32plus, %ppc, %ppc64)
(%ppc64le, %m68k, %mips, %mipsel, %mipsn32, %mipsn32el, %mips64, %mips64el)
(%riscv32, %riscv64, %sh4, %sh4eb, %s390x, %aarch64, %hppa): Adjust.
(qemu-binfmt-guix-chroot): Remove variable.
(qemu-binfmt-service-type): Remove the qemu-binfmt-guix-chroot extension.
* gnu/services/qemu-binfmt (qemu-platform->binfmt): Use the static output of
QEMU.
* doc/contributing.texi (Submitting Patches): Update doc.
* doc/guix.texi (Virtualization Services): Update doc.
* doc/contributing.texi: Replace link to TP with a link to Weblate.
* doc/guix.texi: Replace link to TP with a link to Weblate.
* doc/guix-cookbook.texi: Replace link to TP with a link to Weblate.
* doc/contributing.texi (Running Guix Before It Is Installed): Instruct
user to run ./bootstrap before ./configure.
