This new procedure uses BLKRRPART to determine whether or not a device is
busy. It is useful when a device does not appear as mounted but is maybe used
by the kernel. This is the case with overlayfs lowerdir backend device for
example.
* guix/build/syscalls.scm (device-in-use?): New exported procedure.
For some mysterious reason, calling 'setlocale' as first instruction of
installer-builder does not install unicode support correctly. So set LANG env
variable and start the installer until this is understood.
* gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Wrap installer-builder to have the
opportunity to set LANG environment variable before starting the installer.
* gnu/installer.scm: Rename to ...
* gnu/installer/record.scm: ... this.
* gnu/installer/build-installer.scm: Move everything to the build side and
rename to gnu/installer.scm.
* gnu/installer/newt.scm: Remove all the gexps and add depencies to newt
modules as this code will only be used on the build side by now.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Adapt it,
(dist_installer_DATA): New rule to install installer's aux-files.
* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services): Use only
'installer-program' from (gnu installer). The installer is now choosen on the
build side.
* guix/self.scm (*system-modules*): Restore previous behaviour and add all
installer files to #:extra-files field of the scheme-node.
* po/guix/POTFILES.in: Adapt it.
The welcome page is the only page using absolute positioning for the newt
components, so that the page occupies all the screen space. This is becoming
too hard to manage, so switch to grid management like elsewhere, even if the
result is less appealing.
Also add an info text to the page with a mention on how to switch back to the
original installer.
* gnu/installer/newt/welcome.scm (run-menu-page): Use a vertically stacked
grid instead of hard window placement.
Source /etc/environment just before starting the installer. The login program
is supposed to load the environment variables of this file through PAM, but as
we replace it by the installer, they are no longer available. This is mostly
useful for the LANG environment variable.
* gnu/installer/build-installer.scm (installer-program-launcher): New exported
procedure.
* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services): Restore most of the origin
code. kmscon is only started on TTY1, and the graphical installer is the
login-program.
As we do not want to add a dependency to newt and the graphical installer
in (guix self), do not install (gnu system install).
* guix/self.scm (*system-modules*): Remove (gnu system install) from
"guix-system" scheme-node.
Only build installer if "--enable-installer" is passed. In that case only, the
support for Guile-newt becomes mandatory.
* configure.ac: Add --enable-installer argument. Export ENABLE_INSTALLER
conditional according to the argument value.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Remove installer modules and build them
only if ENABLE_INSTALLER is set.
* configure.ac: Require that guile-newt is available.
* gnu/installer.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/aux-files/logo.txt: New file.
* gnu/installer/build-installer.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/connman.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/keymap.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/locale.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/ethernet.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/hostname.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/keymap.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/locale.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/menu.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/network.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/page.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/timezone.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/utils.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/welcome.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/wifi.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/steps.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/timezone.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add previous files.
* gnu/system.scm: Export %root-account.
* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services): Use kmscon instead of linux
VT for all tty.
(installation-os)[users]: Add the graphical installer as shell of the root
account.
[packages]: Add font related packages.
* po/guix/POTFILES.in: Add installer files.
kmscon does not require that virtual terminals run in UTF-8 mode.
* gnu/services/base.scm (kmscon-service-type): Remove virtual-terminal from
requirement list.
The error which inhibited running the tests no longer occurs
in 5.49.0, although now no tests are found at all. Since no tests
are found now, the phase 'check-setup can be removed, too,
and thus the 'arguments' at all.
* gnu/packages/kde-frameworks.scm(kirigami)[arguments]: Remove.
Enable running the tests and blacklist the one failing test.
* gnu/package/kde-frameworks.scm(kcoreaddons)[arguments]
<#:tests?>: Remove. <#:phases>: Add phase 'blacklist-failing-test.
