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/installer/newt/page.scm (run-input-page)[input-hide-checkbox?]: New
parameter adding a checkbox to toggle password hiding. By default, the
checkbox is active and the password is hence hided.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (prompt-luks-passwords): Enable the
previous parameter on both password input pages.
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (run-root-password-page): Enable the previous
parameter,
(confirm-password): ditto,
(run-user-add-page): add a checkbox to toggle password hiding.
Previously, for a machine that only has wired networking, and only one
such network, we'd have to go through two selection boxes. Now we just
skip both.
* gnu/installer/newt/ethernet.scm (run-ethernet-page): When
'ethernet-services' returns one element, return it directly without
opening a listbox selection.
* gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (run-technology-page): Likewise.
Until now, step descriptions in the menu that shows up when hitting
"Exit" would not be translated. That's because the 'G_' procedure was
called once and for all when the installer was started.
* gnu/installer/steps.scm (<installer-step>)[description]: Add the
'thunked' attribute.
Previously, the "Everything is one partition" entry would come first in
English but it would be second in French. This change keeps it the
first choice regardless of the language.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-scheme-page): Pass
#:sort-listbox-items? to 'run-scheme-page'.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/35541>.
Reported by Florian Pelz <pelzflorian@pelzflorian.de>.
* gnu/installer/services.scm (system-services->configuration): Generate
a snippet that appends PACKAGES to %BASE-PACKAGES.
Previously, if we had a password mismatch, the 'password' field would
end up containing a <user> record instead of the actual password.
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (confirm-password): Make TRY-AGAIN
optional and adjust docstring.
(run-user-add-page): Move 'confirm-password' call one level higher.
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (run-user-add-page): Add #:real-name. Add
a label and entry for the real name and initialize the 'real-name' field
of the <user> record.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (create-user-database): Set the 'comment'
field of the <user-account> record.
Previously the "listbox" would be unnecessarily high, leaving too little
space for the German translation of the text above.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-disk-page): Increase
#:info-textbox-width and pass #:listbox-height.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/35469>.
Reported by Florian Pelz <pelzflorian@pelzflorian.de>.
* gnu/installer/services.scm (%system-services): Add service for
'nss-certs', with 'recommended?' set to #t.
* gnu/installer/services.scm (<system-service>)[recommended?]: New
field.
* gnu/installer/newt/services.scm (run-desktop-environments-cbt-page):
Pass #:selection to 'run-checkbox-tree-page', computed from the
'recommended?' field of each service.
(run-networking-cbt-page): Likewise.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-success-page): Return
'success.
* gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Check the result of the 'final
step and reboot upon success.
This allows the installer to distinguish success from failure, and also
ensures the shell that runs 'guix system init' exits upon completion.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-shell-command)[pause]: New procedure.
Add "exec" before COMMAND in the script. Guard 'invoke' call and handle
'invoke-error?'. Add call to 'pause' on completion.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Remove 'false-if-exception'.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/35399>.
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (run-root-password-page): New procedure.
* gnu/installer/user.scm (users->configuration): Filter out the "root"
account.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (create-user-database): Set 'uid' field in
'user-account' form.
Partly fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/35399>.
* gnu/installer/user.scm (<user>)[password]: New field.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (%seed): New variable.
(integer->alphanumeric-char, random-string)
(create-user-database): New procedures.
(install-system): Call 'create-user-database'.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-shell): Add #:users and pass
it to 'install-system'.
(run-final-page): Pass #:users to 'run-install-shell'.
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (run-user-add-page): Add password entry.
Pass its result as the 'password' field of <user>.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-shell-command): Add #:locale and honor it.
* gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-shell): Add 'locale'
parameter; pass it to 'install-system'.
(run-final-page): Obtain locale from RESULT; pass it to 'run-install-shell'.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Add 'locale' parameter; pass
it to 'run-shell-command'.
When trying to jump to the first step, DONE-STEPS ends-up being null, which
fails the matching condition.
* gnu/installer/steps.scm (skip-to-step): Split matching conditions to handle
the empty DONE-STEPS case properly.
Previously, we would always (1) put English first, and (2) sort the
other layouts based on their English description. This fixes both
issues.
* gnu/installer/newt/keymap.scm (sort-layouts)[layout<?]: New procedure.
[preferred]: New variable.
Partition according to both the 'name' and 'synopsis' fields. Sort both
the main layouts and the other layouts according to 'layout<?'.
That way "Österreich" comes before "Schweiz" in a German locale (or
pretty much any sane locale.)
* gnu/installer/newt/page.scm (run-listbox-selection-page)[sort-listbox-items]:
Use 'string-locale<?' instead of 'string<=?'.
Previously we'd call 'setlocale' only after the complete 'locale' step
had finished.
* gnu/installer/newt/locale.scm (run-language-page): Set the 'LANGUAGE'
environment variable before returning.
* gnu/installer/services.scm (<system-service>)[snippet]: Change to be a
list of sexps and add default value.
[packages]: New field.
(%system-services): Adjust 'snippet' fields to be lists of sexps.
Add Openbox, awesome, i3, and ratpoison.
(system-services->configuration): Adjust 'snippet' handling. Honor
'packages' field.
Previously, for non-desktop configs, users could choose any number of
network management methods, including 0, 2, or more.
* gnu/installer/newt/services.scm (run-networking-cbt-page): Remove
'network-management?' parameter and select only 'networking services.
(run-network-management-page): New procedure.
(run-services-page): Call it when DESKTOP is the empty list.
