Partly fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/30312>.
* doc/guix.texi (Preparing for Installation): Add note on how to choose
between UEFI and BIOS.
(Using the Configuration System)[Bootloader]: New subsubsection.
(Bootloader Configuration): Expound on the bootloader type and target.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: Switch to UEFI.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl: Explicitly mention "legacy" and
"BIOS" in the comments.
The 'title' field was easily overlooked and was an endless source of
confusion. Now, the value of the 'device' field is self-contained.
* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (<file-system>): Change constructor name
to '%file-system'.
[title]: Remove.
(<file-system-label>): New record type with printer.
(report-deprecation, device-expression)
(process-file-system-declaration, file-system): New macros.
(file-system-title): New procedure.
(file-system->spec, spec->file-system): Adjust to handle
<file-system-label>.
* gnu/system.scm (bootable-kernel-arguments): Add case for
'file-system-label?'.
(read-boot-parameters): Likewise.
(mapped-device-user): Avoid 'file-system-title'.
(fs->boot-device): Remove.
(operating-system-boot-parameters): Use 'file-system-device' instead of
'fs->boot-device'.
(device->sexp): Add case for 'file-system-label?'.
* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (grub-root-search): Add case for
'file-system-label?'.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl,
gnu/system/examples/beaglebone-black.tmpl,
gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl,
gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl: Remove uses of 'title'.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (virtualized-operating-system): Remove uses of
'file-system-title'.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (check-file-system-availability): Likewise,
and adjust fix-it hint.
(check-initrd-modules)[file-system-/dev]: Likewise.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (canonicalize-device-spec): Remove 'title'
parameter.
[canonical-title]: Remove.
Match on SPEC's type rather than on CANONICAL-TITLE.
(mount-file-system): Adjust caller.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Interpret ROOT here.
* gnu/services/base.scm (file-system->fstab-entry): Remove use of
'file-system-title'.
* doc/guix.texi (File Systems): Remove documentation of the 'title'
field. Rewrite documentation of 'device' and document
'file-system-label'.
* gnu/bootloader.scm (<bootloader-configuration>): Deprecate "device" field in
favor of "target" field. This is mostly a renaming but also a generalization
to support UEFI targets being paths to a mounted partition instead of a device
name.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl:
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl:
* gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl:
* gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl:
* gnu/system/install.scm:
* gnu/tests.scm:
* gnu/tests/install.scm:
* gnu/tests/nfs.scm:
* tests/system.scm: Adapt all invocations of bootloader-configuration.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (perform-action): Rename device argument to
bootloader-target.
(process-action): Adapt caller.
* doc/guix.texi (Proceeding with the Installation):
* doc/guix.texi (Bootloader Configuration): Update documentation.
* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub-efi): Fix grub-install invocation for
EFI systems.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl: Use the newer
"bootloader-configuration" syntax.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: Use bootloader-configuration sytax. Also,
use the same label for the LUKS-mapped device and the root partition. Remove
unneeded "title" field for the file-system based on LUKS; as noted in the
manual, the "title" field is ignored for mapped devices.
* gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl: Use bootloader-configuration,
and use grub-efi-bootloader.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (%base-user-accounts): New variable.
* gnu/system.scm (<operating-system>)[users]: Use it as the default value.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl (users): Use it.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl (users): Likewise.
* doc/guix.texi (operating-system Reference, User Accounts): Adjust
accordingly.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl: Change 'packages' and
'host-name'. Remove D-Bus, Avahi, and SLiM services, and add lsh
instead.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: New file.
* Makefile.am (EXAMPLES): Add it.
