Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2023 21:08:49 +0200
The "rules" field in the udev-configuration record can now hold both rules and
hwdb files.
The udev-rules-union has been made generic, and renamed to
udev-configuration-union, so that it works with either rules or hwdb files.
Some udev-related auxiliary functions in (gnu services base) had non-texinfo
variable references in their docstrings ("FILE-NAME" instead of
"@var{file-name}").
The contents of the /etc directory now includes hwdb.d and hwdb.bin, which is
computed immediately.
The documentation has been reworked so as to explain why creating udev rules
or hwdb needs helper functions for configuration or extension.
The hwdb.bin file is conditionally computed by a native version of eudev, that
may be configured in the udev-service-type configuration. The condition is
that both target and native eudev have the same version. If so, we can
reasonably expect that the hwdb.bin file created by native eudev can later be
read by target eudev.
* gnu/services/base.scm (udev-configuration-union): Make udev-rules-union generic.
(udev-hwdb): New function.
(file->udev-rule): Fix docstring.
(file->udev-hwdb): New function.
(udev-rules-service): Fix docstring.
(udev-hwdb-service): New function.
(udev-etc): Add hwdb.d and hwdb.bin.
(module): Export udev-hwdb, file->udev-hwdb, and udev-hwdb-service.
(<udev-configuration>): Add the native-udev field.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services)[udev-service-type]: Explain configuration and
extension values.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services)[udev-hwdb]: Document it.
[udev-hwdb-service]: Same.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services)[udev-configuration]: Document the native-udev
field.

-This service type can be @emph{extended} using procedures
-@code{udev-rules-service} along with @code{file->udev-rule} or
-@code{udev-rule} which simplify the process of writing udev rules.
+Since the file names for udev rules and hwdb files matters, the
+configuration items for rules and hwdb cannot simply be plain file-like
+objects with the rules content, because the name would be
+ignored. Instead, they are directory file-like objects that contain
+optional rules in @code{lib/udev/rules.d} and optional hwdb files in
+@code{lib/udev/hwdb.d}. This way, the service can be configured with
+whole packages from which to take rules and hwdb files.
+
+The @code{udev-service-type} can be @emph{extended} with file-like
+directories that respect this hierarchy. However, to generate a
+configuration or an extension, it is advised to use @code{udev-rule} and
+@code{file->udev-rule} for rules, and @code{udev-hwdb} and
+@code{file->udev-hwdb} for hwdb files.
