* gnu/packages/base.scm (coreutils)[arguments] <patch-shell-references>:
Leave src/split.c unpatched. Set $SHELL. Use .../bin/sh and not
.../bin/bash in tests.
This fixes a top-level circular dependency between linux.scm and
base.scm introduced in 2e92375.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc-final): Remove call to
'package-with-restricted-references', and use an 'arguments' field
instead.
This fixes a bug whereby the bootstrap-glibc headers could be picked up
when building libc.so, which could be noticed by the fact that the
.debug files contained references to bootstrap-glibc.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc-final-with-bootstrap-bash)[arguments]:
Add 'pre-configure' phase.
[inputs]: Remove 'alist-delete' call.
This fixes a bug whereby Findutils' 'updatedb' script would retain a
reference to the bootstrap binaries ('sort', etc.)
* gnu/packages/base.scm (coreutils-final, %boot5-inputs): New variables.
(%final-inputs): Use them.
* gnu/packages/gettext.scm (gnu-gettext): Upgrade to 0.19.
[arguments] <phases>: Remove now unneeded 'link-expat' phase. Patch
lang-sh and msgfilter test scripts; patch msginit.c and project-id.
Add #:make-flags.
* guix/derivations.scm (build-expression->derivation): Add
#:allowed-references and pass it to 'derivation.
* doc/guix.texi (Derivations): Adjust accordingly.
This partly reverts commit 185f669 ("services: Make sure the store's
group is the build group.")
* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-service)[activate]: Remove 'chown' call.
Add 'id' field to 'user-group' form.
* guix/build/install.scm (directives): Set the store's GID to 30000.
Before that the effect would be to re-create groups at each boot, and
thus remove any members of the groups.
* guix/build/activation.scm (activate-users+groups): Call 'add-group'
only when (getgrname name) fails.
* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-service)[activate]: New variable. Add
'chown' call for (%store-prefix). Set the 'activate' field to
ACTIVATE.
* guix/build/install.scm (directives): Add comment about STORE's group.
* tests/gexp.scm (shebang): New variable.
Skip "gexp->script" when SHEBANG is longer than 127 chars.
* guix/gexp.scm (gexp->script): Add comment on the issue.
* gnu/packages/linux.scm (module-init-tools)[source](patches): New
field.
* gnu/packages/patches/module-init-tools-moduledir.patch: New file.
* gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/system.scm (etc-directory): Add #:kernel parameter. Set
'LINUX_MODULE_DIRECTORY' in bashrc.
(operating-system-etc-directory): Pass #:kernel to 'etc-directory'.
* gnu/system.scm (<operating-system>)[packages]: Change default value to
%BASE-PACKAGES.
(%base-packages): New variable.
* gnu/system/install.scm (installation-os): Use it when defining the
'packages' field.
* doc/guix.texi (Using the Configuration System): Use %BASE-PACKAGES in
example. Remove now unneeded module imports. Explain this.
* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (<file-system>)[title]: New field.
* gnu/services/base.scm (file-system-service): Add #:title parameter.
In 'start' gexp, use 'canonicalize-device-spec' and honor TITLE.
* gnu/system.scm (other-file-system-services,
operating-system-root-file-system, operating-system-initrd-file):
Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (file-system->spec): Likewise.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image): Add 'title' field for the root
file system.
* guix/build/linux-initrd.scm (mount-file-system): Expect the second
element of SPEC to be the title.
(boot-system)[root-mount-point?, root-fs-type]: Likewise.
* gnu/services/dmd.scm (dmd-configuration-file): Select
'canonicalize-device-spec'.
* guix/build/linux-initrd.scm (canonicalize-device-spec): Add #:title
parameter. When resolving a label, wait a little and try several
times before bailing out.
* gnu/packages/linux.scm (util-linux)[source](patches): New field.
* gnu/packages/patches/util-linux-perl.patch: New file.
* gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
