[bug#56075] [PATCH 0/2] Report location of invalid configuration field values

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Guix!

This change has ‘define-configuration’ use the ‘sanitize’ property to
type-check fields instead of a custom mechanism.  More importantly, it
improves error reporting of invalid field value such that instead of:

  guix home: error: Invalid value for field latitude: "44.81"

you get the location of the faulty field value:

  home-config.scm:391:23: error: invalid value "44.81" for field 'latitude'

Additionally the message is now internationalized.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.

  services: configuration: Report the location of field type errors.
  services: configuration: Remove 'validate-configuration'.
