Subject: [bug#28452] [PATCH 0/6] On-line doc and search for services
Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2017 23:17:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170913211756.4843-1-ludo@gnu.org> (raw)
Hello!
This patch series adds a new ‘guix system search’ command to search
through the available services types:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix system search anony network
name: tor
location: gnu/services/networking.scm:670:2
extends: shepherd-root account activate
description: Run the Tor (https://torproject.org) anonymous networking daemon.
relevance: 9
name: static-networking
location: gnu/services/networking.scm:248:2
extends: shepherd-root etc
description: Turn up the specified network interfaces upon startup, with the given IP
+ address, gateway, netmask, and so on. The value for services of this type is a list of
+ `static-networking' objects, one per network interface.
relevance: 6
name: network-manager
location: gnu/services/networking.scm:947:4
extends: shepherd-root dbus polkit activate profile
description: Run NetworkManager (https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/NetworkManager), a
+ network management daemon that aims to simplify wired and wireless networking.
relevance: 6
[...]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I think this can be pretty useful. It also works with service types
that have #f as their ‘description’ field, which is the vast majority of
them (help welcome!).
Possible improvements and related things:
• Display each field and value of the default value of services.
• Add ‘guix system edit’ or ‘guix edit --service’?
• Add a web UI to browse services.
Comments welcome!
Ludo’.
