This package is severely out of date compared to its Python 3 counterpart and
difficult to upgrade. Since it has no dependents in Guix and Python 2 is
officially deprecated by the end of this year, just remove it.
* gnu/packages/web.scm (python2-httpretty): Remove variable.
* gnu/packages/ocaml.scm (ocaml-base64): Update to 3.2.0.
[origin]: Use git-fetch.
(ocaml-piqilib)[origin]: Add a patch to fix building with new
versions of ocaml-base64.
* gnu/packages/patches/ocaml-piqilib-Update-base64.patch: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (user-fs-type-name): Add fat16.
(user-fs-type->mount-type): Add fat16.
(create-fat16-file-system): New procedure.
(format-user-partitions): Use it.
Previously, Munge users such as Slurm would fail with:
squeue: error: Munge encode failed: Failed to access "/gnu/store/…-munge-0.5.13/var/run/munge/munge.socket.2": No such file or directory
squeue: error: authentication: Socket communication error
* gnu/packages/admin.scm (munge)[source](modules, snippet): New fields.
[arguments]: New field.
The default value of the argument REGISTER-CLOSURE? of the ISO9660-IMAGE,
QEMU-IMAGE and SYSTEM-DOCKER-IMAGE procedures can be computed automatically,
since the operating-system definition is available in its context. When the
operating-system definition does not contain the GUIX-SERVICE-TYPE, do not
register the closure in the database of Guix, as it takes time and doesn't
serve a purpose.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (has-guix-service-type): Add predicate.
(iso9660-image)[register-closures?]: Use it to compute the argument's default
value.
(qemu-image)[register-closures?]: Likewise, and update docstring.
(system-docker-image)[register-closures?]: Likewise.
(system-disk-image): Do not explicit a value for the REGISTER-CLOSURES?
argument of the ISO9660-IMAGE and QEMU-IMAGE procedure calls, so that its
default value is used instead.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Do not explicit a
value for the REGISTER-CLOSURES? argument of the SYSTEM-DOCKER-IMAGE
procedure call, so that its default value is used instead.
The list of locales supported by glibc is now built from source.
* gnu/installer/locale.scm (locale-string->locale): Add optional
'codeset' parameter and honor it.
(supported-locales->locales): Rewrite to 'read' from SUPPORTED-LOCALES.
* gnu/installer.scm (compute-locale-step): Pass the result of
'glibc-supported-locales' instead of the "aux-files/SUPPORTED" file.
* gnu/installer/aux-files/SUPPORTED: Remove.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_installer_DATA): Remove it.
* gnu/system/linux-container.scm (container-essential-services): If network is
to be shared with the host, remove network configuration files from etc
service.
(containerized-operating-system): If network is to be shared with the host,
remove nscd service and map host's /var/run/nscd if it exists.
(container-script): If network is to be shared with the host, do not create
network namespace.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Add
#:container-shared-network? argument.
(perform-action): Add #:container-shared-network? argument.
(show-help): Add "-N, --network" help information.
(%options): Add network option.
(process-action): Call perform-action with #container-shared-network? argument.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system): Document the "-N, --network" option.
