* doc/guix.texi (Running Guix in a VM): Remove mentions of 'lsh-server';
mention 'openssh-service-type' and add a cross-reference.
* gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl (services): Add a commented-out line
for 'openssh-service-type'.
Previously 'guix system disk-image' would fail if the OS didn't define a
"/" file system, even though it actually overrides that file system.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image)[root-uuid]: Turn into a
procedure.
Call 'root-uuid' on a variant of OS with a "/" file system and inherit
from that.
This hack worked around a defect in the Shepherd 0.5.0 and is no longer
needed.
* gnu/services/shepherd.scm (%containerized-shepherd-service): Remove.
* gnu/system/linux-container.scm (container-essential-services): Don't
use it.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/33639>.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (%linux-vm-file-systems): Remove "cache=loose" for /xchg.
(system-docker-image): Remove 'sync' call, now unneeded, and which was
probably insufficient.
Suggested by Florian Pelz.
* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-node-names): New variable.
(log-to-info): Expect the chosen locale as an argument. Compute the
language, Info file name, and node name. Install the locale.
(documentation-shepherd-service): Add 'locale' parameter to the 'start'
action and honor it. Set GUIX_LOCPATH and TERM as environment variables
for the process.
* gnu/installer.scm (apply-locale): Use (gnu services herd). Call
'stop-service' and 'start-service' with the chosen locale.
* gnu/system/install.scm (log-to-info): Add 'tty' and 'user'
parameters. Open the tty and change UIDs/GIDs.
(documentation-shepherd-service): New procedure.
(%documentation-users, documentation-service-type): New variables.
(%installation-services): Use it instead of 'mingetty-service'.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (gdm-service-type)[compose, extend]: New fields.
(set-xorg-configuration): New procedure.
* doc/guix.texi (Keyboard Layout): Use it.
(X Window): Document it.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: Add 'keyboard-layout' fields.
* gnu/system.scm (<operating-system>)[essential-services]: New field.
(operating-system-directory-base-entries): Remove #:container? keyword
and keep only the not-container branch.
(essential-services): Likewise.
(operating-system-services): Likewise, and call
'operating-system-essential-services' instead of 'essential-services'.
(operating-system-activation-script): Remove #:container?.
(operating-system-boot-script): Likewise.
(operating-system-derivation): Likewise.
* gnu/system/linux-container.scm (container-essential-services): New procedure.
(containerized-operating-system): Use it and set the
'essential-services' field.
(container-script): Remove call to 'operating-system-derivation'.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-docker-image): Likewise.
* doc/guix.texi (operating-system Reference): Document 'essential-services'.
Partially fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/34276>.
Reported by Tobias Geerinckx-Rice <me@tobias.gr>.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm)[loader]: Call
'exit' when USER-BUILDER exits with a non-zero code.
* gnu/system/accounts.scm (sexp->user-group, sexp->user-account): New
procedures.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (account-activation): Call them in the arguments
to 'activate-users+groups'.
(account-shepherd-service): Likewise.
* gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-users+groups): Expect a list of
<user-account> and a list of <user-group>. Replace uses of 'match' on
tuples with calls to record accessors.
(activate-user-home): Likewise.
The (gnu system accounts) module is meant to be used both on the build-
and on the host-side.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm <top level>: Call 'default-shell'.
(<user-account>, <user-group>): Move to...
* gnu/system/accounts.scm: ... here. New file.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add system/accounts.scm.
In practice the error was not triggered because
'package-transitive-propagated-inputs' currently returns the empty list
for these two packages.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (gcrypt-sqlite3&co): Remove labels from the
result.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (gcrypt-sqlite3&co): Likewise.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl (services): Do it.
* gnu/system/examples/beaglebone.tmpl (packages): Do it.
(services): Do it.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl (packages): Do it.
(services): Do it.
* gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl (file-systems): Do it.
(packages): Do it.
* gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl (packages): Do it.
* gnu/installer.scm: Rename to ...
* gnu/installer/record.scm: ... this.
* gnu/installer/build-installer.scm: Move everything to the build side and
rename to gnu/installer.scm.
* gnu/installer/newt.scm: Remove all the gexps and add depencies to newt
modules as this code will only be used on the build side by now.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Adapt it,
(dist_installer_DATA): New rule to install installer's aux-files.
* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services): Use only
'installer-program' from (gnu installer). The installer is now choosen on the
build side.
* guix/self.scm (*system-modules*): Restore previous behaviour and add all
installer files to #:extra-files field of the scheme-node.
* po/guix/POTFILES.in: Adapt it.
