[guix-commits]

civodul pushed a commit to branch master
in repository guix.

commit 6505f727e1824391b888dd0c2c60cf64ec66955a
Author: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
AuthorDate: Sat Jun 18 22:59:22 2022 +0200

    services: configuration: Remove 'validate-configuration'.
    
    Now that configuration records use the 'sanitize' property for each
    field, 'validate-configuration' has become useless because it's
    impossible to construct an invalid configuration record.
    
    * gnu/services/configuration.scm (validate-configuration): Remove.
    * gnu/services/mail.scm (dovecot-service): Remove call.
    * gnu/services/vpn.scm (openvpn-client-service)
    (openvpn-server-service): Likewise.
    * doc/guix.texi (Complex Configurations): Remove documentation.
