Hi Julien
thanks for these patches. I applied them to current master, but I did
not work out how to use the new features. I'd appreciate a more complete
example.

> +@deffn {Scheme Variable} nginx-service-type +This is the type for the

I do not understand this. Why would I want to to this? Why not just add
the vhost declaration when defining the service in the system
declaration? Is this for vhost-types which have preset values for some
configuration files? Then a different example might be useful, and/or
some more explanation.
It's a bit more obvious with patch 3, but even that example is not that
obvious to me and could use some more explanation.
I've build a simple service like the gtk-doc-vhost in your second
example, but it not manage to make it work: First I got "error: no
target of type 'nginx'", so I re-added "(nginx-service)" to the system
declaration. Then I got
gnu/services/web.scm:118:34: In procedure default-nginx-vhost-config:
gnu/services/web.scm:118:34: In procedure struct_vtable: Wrong type
argument in position 1 (expecting struct):
(nginx-vhost-configuration (root taler-landing-page))
Si I'd really appreciate seeing a more complete example either in the
documentation of in gn/systems/examples/
> (system* (string-append #$nginx "/sbin/nginx") - "-c" #$config-file
> "-t"))))) + "-c" #$(or config-file + (default-nginx-config
> log-directory + run-directory vhosts)) + "-t")))))
Nitpicking: I'd mode the "-t" to the front, since this is the important
difference.

> #$nginx-binary "-c" #$(or config-file + (default-nginx-config +
> log-directory + run-directory + vhosts))+ #$@args))))))
To avoid duplicate code I suggest moving the "#$(or …)" part into a
private function - if this is possible.

Could you please (maybe in another patch) add a way to include
additional config lines? Both for the main server and each vhost.I'm
gioing to need this for adding locations, backends and such.
