Services should not expect for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to be set.
Inferring from the past comment, this seemed to resolve an issue when
the service was launched with an _interactive_ user-account,
which tends to have this variable set by the login-manager.
This is not the case for system accounts and setting this variable
results in PulseAudio (launched by the same system user) failing to start
since it attempts to use a nonexistent directory.
Ideally, this service should have a home-service counterpart but the old
behavior can be emulated by setting the environment-variables field to:
(environment-variables
(list
(string-append "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/"
(number->string (passwd:uid (getpwnam "myuser"))))))

Add more examples of when it can be appropriate to push changes without
review, as I think this can be appropriate in the case of trivial changes (as
mentioned before), but also non-trivial fixes.
No longer suggest pushing simple new packages or package upgrades (that don't
cause lots of rebuilds) without sending to guix-patches. Now there's some
automation for testing changes sent to guix-patches, sending changes there
before pushing can mean that more rigorous testing takes place and help speed
up substitutes becoming available. This is true, even if no human review takes
place.
Only suggest waiting one week for review for simpler changes, wait two weeks
for more significant changes.
Also, reorder some of the information in this section so it's grouped together
better.

The service already runs with the specified user and group, so there is no use
in writing it to the configuration files. This change is mainly done for
compatibility with 'zabbix-agent2' which does not understand the User=
setting, but also to document the correct data type for the "group" setting.
* gnu/services/monitoring.scm (serialize-string): Filter USER and GROUP
fields.

This rework allows to use an (efi-bootloader-chain) like this, which is able
to boot over network or local storage, depending on whether the bootloader
target has support for symbolic links:
(operating-system
(bootloader
(bootloader-configuration
(bootloader

#:packages (list my-firmware-package
my-u-boot-package)

"kernel=u-boot.bin"))
#:hooks my-special-bootloader-profile-manipulator))
(targets '("/booti/efi"))
…))
…)
* doc/guix.texi (Bootloader Configuration): Describe the new
‘grub-efi-netboot-removable-bootloader’. Mention the file names used and that
the UEFI Boot Manager is not modified. Advise to disable write-access over
TFTP.
* gnu/bootloader.scm (efi-bootloader-profile): Allow a list of packages and
collect everything directly in the profile, avoiding a separate collection
directory. Renamed the profile from "bootloader-profile" to
"efi-bootloader-profile".
[bootloader-collection]: Rename to...

installer procedure.

When offloading to a single machine, the previous default value would
lead 'guix offload' to wait possibly for several minutes between
subsequent builds until normalized load would finally go below 0.6.

This reverts commit 39e4e00f75, with fixes for
the guix home issues reported and another one found while reconfiguring berlin
in the subsequent commit.
This reverts commit 543d971ed2, and
its dependent commit 9b21cd2e9a, which
appear to have triggered a recent wave of ‘guix home’ regressions
involving (services (list (service home-bash-service-type))):
In gnu/home/services/shells.scm:
504:7 3 (home-bash-extensions #<<home-bash-configuration> package: #<package bash@5.1.8 gnu/packages/ba…> …)
In unknown file:
2 (append #<<location> file: "…" line: 14 column: 12> ())
In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
1685:16 1 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _)
1685:16 0 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _)
ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:
In procedure append: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting empty list): #<<location> file: "…" line: 14 column: 12>
I should love to dive in & fix this rather than revert, but urgently
need sleep.
