* 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.
Source /etc/environment just before starting the installer. The login program
is supposed to load the environment variables of this file through PAM, but as
we replace it by the installer, they are no longer available. This is mostly
useful for the LANG environment variable.
* gnu/installer/build-installer.scm (installer-program-launcher): New exported
procedure.
* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services): Restore most of the origin
code. kmscon is only started on TTY1, and the graphical installer is the
login-program.
