[bug#74508] [PATCH 0/2] Improvements for mingetty-service-type

[Tomas Volf]

Some configuration options were missing and some accessors where misnamed.
Ability to depend on arbitrary shepherd service is also added.

Tomas Volf (2):
  services: mingetty: Add additional configuration options.
  services: mingetty: Support waiting on shepherd services.

[bug#74508] [PATCH 1/2] services: mingetty: Add additional configuration options.

[Tomas Volf]

Not all aspects of mingetty were configurable, so this commit adds the
additional configuration fields to support that.

It also renames the accessors for all fields except `tty'.  They were named
just `mingetty-$FIELD', instead of `mingetty-configuration-$FIELD'.  However
the renaming *is* backwards compatible, since in the define-module's #:export
argument the correct (`mingetty-configuration-$FIELD') were used already.
Hence, until now, there was no way to access anything except the `tty' field.

* gnu/services/base.scm (<mingetty-configuration>): Add delay, print-issue,
print-hostname, nice, chdir, chroot fields.  Rename accessors for auto-login,
login-program, login-pause?, clear-on-logout?.
(mingetty-shepherd-service): Use the new fields.
(define-module)<#:export>: Export the new accessors.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services)<mingetty-configuration>: Document the
additional field.

Fun, good catch!  I find it odd that Guile doesn't warn or error when
exporting a symbol that isn't defined; I was bit by that recently
myself.  Personally I'd have effected that correction in a distinct
commit, to keep your new functionality diff to its bare minimum
(clearer/easier to review).

Are all these expected to be functional on Guix, e.g., the 'chroot' option?

This sounds useful.  Could it be used in place of a 'motd', such as in
our hydra/berlin.scm conf (from the Guix maintenance repo), which is
currently relying on PAM to work (and doesn't currently seem to do
anything, at least on berlin, for unknown reason).

Why is the above accessor removed?

Neatly crafted.  Could you please send a v2 with my small comments above
addressed, such as splitting in two commits, and not removing the
'mingetty-configuration-mingetty' accessor?  Other than that, LGTM.

I assume there might be historical and/or technical reasons for that,
but that is probably topic for guile-devel. :) I personally am bit torn,
while I can imagine situations when some symbol is by design left
unbound, I had no need for that yet.

Yeah, I agree, will split it.

Sure, why not?  I can for example imagine having Alpine Linux installed
in chroot in /opt/alpine, and tty2 would login you into Alpine instead
of GuixSD.

Do I expect the `chroot' to be used often?  No.  But it *is* a valid
argument to mingetty, so I think it makes sense to add them all and
leave it to the user creativity whether it will be used or not.

I do not think so.  Notice the default value (#t).  The issue is printed
by default.  When you see a tty login prompt, it looks (by default) like
this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ISSUE

$HOST login: $USER
Password: $PASSWORD

$MOTD
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So in my QEMU test system the "logging screen" looks (roughly) like
this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
GNU/Linux test-system x86_64                 <--- /etc/issue

login: tester (automatic login)

GuixSD test VM.  Welcome.                    <--- /gnu/store/...-motd

$
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

>  (and doesn't currently seem to do anything, at least on berlin, for
> unknown reason).

I think this is expected no?  I would assume that most people log via
SSH (only Ricardo has physical access?) and there is no `/etc/motd' file
created by `frontend-services'.  Consider adding something like this to
the list of services returned by the `frontend-services' procedure:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(extra-special-file "/etc/motd" motd)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That should make the message of the day visible even for SSH logins.

Good catch, that was not intentional.

[bug#74508] [PATCH 2/2] services: mingetty: Support waiting on shepherd services.

[Tomas Volf]

For auto-login on systems with elogind, dbus-system needs to be started.  This
commit adds ability to express that ordering.

* gnu/services/base.scm (<mingetty-configuration>): Add shepherd-requirement
field.
(mingetty-shepherd-service): Use it.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services)<mingetty-configuration>: Document it.

[bug#74508] [PATCH v2 1/3] services: mingetty: Add additional configuration options.

[Tomas Volf]

Not all aspects of mingetty were configurable, so this commit adds the
additional configuration fields to support that.

* gnu/services/base.scm (<mingetty-configuration>): Add delay, print-issue,
print-hostname, nice, chdir, chroot fields.
(mingetty-shepherd-service): Use the new fields.
(define-module)<#:export>: Export the new accessors.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services)<mingetty-configuration>: Document the
additional field.

Change-Id: I4557a82498805ade0b341feda9d33eccc305690f
---
v2: Split the renaming into separate commit (2/3).  Do not delete the
    mingetty-configuration-mingetty accessor.

[bug#74508] [PATCH v2 2/3] services: mingetty: Rename misnamed accessors.

[Tomas Volf]

Rename the accessors to ensure all start with `mingetty-configuration-'
prefix.  Some were named just `mingetty-$FIELD', instead of
`mingetty-configuration-$FIELD'.

The renaming *is* backwards compatible, since in the define-module's #:export
argument the correct (`mingetty-configuration-$FIELD') were used already and
thus the accessors were not accessible.

* gnu/services/base.scm (<mingetty-configuration>): Rename accessors for
auto-login, login-program, login-pause?, clear-on-logout?.

[bug#74508] [PATCH v2 3/3] services: mingetty: Support waiting on shepherd services.

[Tomas Volf]

For auto-login on systems with elogind, dbus-system needs to be started.  This
commit adds ability to express that ordering.

* gnu/services/base.scm (<mingetty-configuration>): Add shepherd-requirement
field.
(mingetty-shepherd-service): Use it.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services)<mingetty-configuration>: Document it.

How about ‘working-directory’ and ‘root-directory’ for these two, in
line with widespread naming convention?

And instead of “call chroot”, I’d write “use this directory as the
process's root (``chroot'' into it).” (again in an effort to avoid
jargon and abbreviations).

Other than that LGTM!

I cannot say I particularly agree with that.  I would consider both
`chdir' and `chroot' being terms familiar to anyone who would actually
want to configure them, and the terms map cleanly to the mingetty(8).

In any case, I do appreciate the review and I have sent a v3 with the
requested changes.

Have a nice day,
Tomas

[bug#74508] [PATCH v3 1/3] services: mingetty: Add additional configuration options.

[Tomas Volf]

Not all aspects of mingetty were configurable, so this commit adds the
additional configuration fields to support that.

* gnu/services/base.scm (<mingetty-configuration>): Add delay, print-issue,
print-hostname, nice, chdir, chroot fields.
(mingetty-shepherd-service): Use the new fields.
(define-module)<#:export>: Export the new accessors.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services)<mingetty-configuration>: Document the
additional field.

Change-Id: I4557a82498805ade0b341feda9d33eccc305690f
---
v2: Split the renaming into separate commit (2/3).  Do not delete the
    mingetty-configuration-mingetty accessor.
v3: Use working-directory and root-directory instead of chdir and chroot.

[bug#74508] [PATCH v3 2/3] services: mingetty: Rename misnamed accessors.

[Tomas Volf]

Rename the accessors to ensure all start with `mingetty-configuration-'
prefix.  Some were named just `mingetty-$FIELD', instead of
`mingetty-configuration-$FIELD'.

The renaming *is* backwards compatible, since in the define-module's #:export
argument the correct (`mingetty-configuration-$FIELD') were used already and
thus the accessors were not accessible.

* gnu/services/base.scm (<mingetty-configuration>): Rename accessors for
auto-login, login-program, login-pause?, clear-on-logout?.

[bug#74508] [PATCH v3 3/3] services: mingetty: Support waiting on shepherd services.

[Tomas Volf]

For auto-login on systems with elogind, dbus-system needs to be started.  This
commit adds ability to express that ordering.

* gnu/services/base.scm (<mingetty-configuration>): Add shepherd-requirement
field.
(mingetty-shepherd-service): Use it.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services)<mingetty-configuration>: Document it.

These have been renamed now :-).

Otherwise, LGTM.
