Fixes a regression introduced in
commit 075681d350.
* gnu/system.scm (read-boot-parameters): For 'root-device', use
'device-sexp->device', not 'device->sexp'.
This makes collisions less likely than when using a label to look up the
partition. See <https://bugs.gnu.org/27735>.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (operating-system-uuid): New procedure.
(system-disk-image): Define 'root-uuid' and use it for the root file
system. Pass it to 'iso9660-image' and 'qemu-image'.
* gnu/system.scm (read-boot-parameters)[device->sexp]: New procedure.
Use it for 'root-device' and 'store-device'.
(device->sexp): Serialize the UUID type in addition to its bytevector.
Conceptually a UUID is just a bytevector. However, there's software out
there such as GRUB that relies on the string representation of different
UUID types (e.g., the string representation of DCE UUIDs differs from
that of ISO-9660 UUIDs, even if they are actually bytevectors of the
same length). This new <uuid> record type allows us to preserve
information about the type of UUID so we can eventually convert it to a
string using the right representation.
* gnu/system/uuid.scm (<uuid>): New record type.
(bytevector->uuid): New procedure.
(uuid): Return calls to 'make-uuid'.
(uuid->string): Rewrite using 'match-lambda*' to accept a single 'uuid?'
argument.
* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (grub-root-search): Check for 'uuid?' instead
of 'bytevector?'.
* gnu/system.scm (bootable-kernel-arguments): Check whether ROOT-DEVICE
is 'uuid?'.
(read-boot-parameters): Use 'bytevector->uuid' when the
store device is a bytevector.
(read-boot-parameters-file): Check for 'uuid?' instead of 'bytevector?'.
(device->sexp): New procedure.
(operating-system-boot-parameters-file): Use it for 'root-device' and
'store'.
(operating-system-bootcfg): Remove conditional in definition of
'root-device'.
* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (file-system->spec): Check for 'uuid?' on
DEVICE and take its bytevector.
* gnu/system/mapped-devices.scm (open-luks-device): Likewise.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (iso9660-image): Call 'uuid-bytevector' for the
#:volume-uuid argument.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (<partition>)[uuid]: New field.
(create-ext-file-system): Add #:uuid and honor it.
(create-fat-file-system): Add #:uuid.
(format-partition): Add #:uuid and honor it.
(initialize-partition): Honor the 'uuid' field of PARTITION.
* gnu/packages/patches/emacs-unsafe-enriched-mode-translations.patch:
New file.
* gnu/packages/emacs.scm (emacs)[source](patches): Add it.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
Before this, accessing HTTPS will throw an exception about 'nss.cfg' could not
be found.
* gnu/packages/java.scm (icedtea-8)[arguments]: Copy 'nss.cfg' from JDK into
JRE in the install phase.
* gnu/packages/python.scm (python-apsw)[phases]: Replace build phase; add flag
to build all extensions. Add build-test-helper to allow testing of
extensions.
This is a followup to commit d02aabaf1b.
* gnu/packages/patches/foomatic-filters-CVE-2015-8327.patch: New file.
* gnu/packages/patches/foomatic-filters-CVE-2015-8560.patch: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add them.
This package has not built successfully for a long time. Since it
appears to have no users, we remove it for now.
* gnu/packages/tls.scm (python2-acme): Remove variable.
