Fixes a bug whereby GuixSD would create the /nonexistent directory, from
user 'nobody', even though it has 'create-home-directory?' set to #f.
* gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-users+groups): Add comment for
\#:create-home?.
(activate-user-home)[ensure-user-home]: Skip when CREATE-HOME? is #f or
SYSTEM? is #t.
* gnu/tests/base.scm (run-basic-test)["no extra home directories"]: New
tests.
This fixes a regression introduced in
ae763b5b0b whereby home directories and
skeletons would be root-owned.
* gnu/build/activation.scm (copy-account-skeletons): Make 'directory' a
keyword parameter. Add #:uid and #:gid and honor them.
[set-owner]: New procedure.
(activate-user-home): Add call to 'getpw' and 'chown'. Pass UID and GID
to 'copy-account-skeletons'.
* gnu/tests/base.scm (run-basic-test)["skeletons in home directories"]:
Test file ownership under HOME.
