Some minor adjustments to the WIP version, mostly cleanup and removing some
TODOs that snuck in. Thinking on it there's no need to worry about marking
this as WIP. If it winds up merged earlier than expected I can just submit
another patch series.

Richard Sent (5):
  services: backup: Support bootstrapping an initial restic backup
  services: backup: Add password-command support to restic-service
  services: backup: Add extra-packages field to restic-backup-job
  services: backup: Move restic package to restic-configuration
  tests: Add restic system test.

Hi all!

This is the previously promised [1] patch series relating to
restic-backup-service. The highlights:

1. init? was added that bootstraps a new backup.

2. RESTIC_PASSWORD_COMMAND support.

3. Add extra-packages field for jobs.

4. Move restic from restic-backup-job to restic-backup-configuration.

5. Add a basic system-level test suite.

Regarding 4, the previous way felt a bit orthogonal to how services of a
similar nature work. (For example, you don't specify an mcron package for
every job.) I can't think of a use case for mixing-and-matching restic
packages with different jobs. If there is a reason, I think a good compromise
would be a "restic-override" job field.

I'm marking this as WIP because there are a couple more things I want to
investigate, but it feels complete enough to submit for feedback. My main
point of interest is what can be done to improve support for Restic's other
backends, see [2]. I imagine 0.9.6 only supports a subset of those, but still.

In my dream world we could combine this patch with an upgrade to the restic
package itself (which, among other things, supports compression). I asked the
developers about (re)including a vendor directory in their tarball but haven't
heard back [3]. Perhaps this service can spark some action on an old Guix
tracking issue [4].
