2020-10-20services: databases: Don't specify a default postgresql version.Christopher Baines
Currently, if the postgresql package major version changes, this is going to break the service upon upgrade, because PostgreSQL will reject the data files from the differing major version of the service. Because it's important to either keep running a particular major version, or intentionally upgrade, I think the configuration would be better with no default. I think this is also going to be helpful when trying to assist users upgrading PostgreSQL. * gnu/services/databases.scm (<postgresql-configuration>): Remove default for postgresql. (postgresql-service-type): Remove the default value. * gnu/tests/databases.scm (%postgresql-os): Update accordingly. * gnu/tests/guix.scm (%guix-data-service-os): Update accordingly. * gnu/tests/monitoring.scm (%zabbix-os): Update accordingly. * gnu/tests/web.scm (patchwork-os): Update accordingly. * doc/guix.texi (PostgreSQL): Update accordingly.

2020-10-08offload: Improve load normalization and configurability.Maxim Cournoyer
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43773>. The computed normalized load was previously obtained by dividing the load average as found in /proc/loadavg by the number of parallel builds defined for a build machine. This normalized load didn't allow to compare machines with different number of cores, as the load average reported by /proc/loadavg can be as high as the number of cores; thus comparing that value to a fixed threshold of 2.0 would mean machines with multiple cores were more likely to be flagged as overloaded compared to single core machines. This can be fixed by normalizing using the available number of cores instead of the number of parallel jobs. * guix/scripts/offload.scm (<build-machine>)[overload-threshold]: New field. (node-load): Modify to return a normalized load value between 0 and 1, taking into account the number of cores available. (normalized-load): Remove procedure. (report-load): New procedure. (choose-build-machine): Adjust to use the modified 'node-load' and the new 'report-load' and 'build-machine-overload-threshold' procedures. (check-machine-status): Adjust. * doc/guix.texi (Daemon Offload Setup): Document the offload scheduler and the new 'overload-threshold' field.
