uuid: 'uuid' macro supports more UUID types. * gnu/system/uuid.scm (string->uuid): Turn 'type' into an optional argument. (uuid): Add clauses to allow for an optional 'type' parameter.
system: Introduce a disjoint UUID type. Conceptually a UUID is just a bytevector. However, there's software out there such as GRUB that relies on the string representation of different UUID types (e.g., the string representation of DCE UUIDs differs from that of ISO-9660 UUIDs, even if they are actually bytevectors of the same length). This new <uuid> record type allows us to preserve information about the type of UUID so we can eventually convert it to a string using the right representation. * gnu/system/uuid.scm (<uuid>): New record type. (bytevector->uuid): New procedure. (uuid): Return calls to 'make-uuid'. (uuid->string): Rewrite using 'match-lambda*' to accept a single 'uuid?' argument. * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (grub-root-search): Check for 'uuid?' instead of 'bytevector?'. * gnu/system.scm (bootable-kernel-arguments): Check whether ROOT-DEVICE is 'uuid?'. (read-boot-parameters): Use 'bytevector->uuid' when the store device is a bytevector. (read-boot-parameters-file): Check for 'uuid?' instead of 'bytevector?'. (device->sexp): New procedure. (operating-system-boot-parameters-file): Use it for 'root-device' and 'store'. (operating-system-bootcfg): Remove conditional in definition of 'root-device'. * gnu/system/file-systems.scm (file-system->spec): Check for 'uuid?' on DEVICE and take its bytevector. * gnu/system/mapped-devices.scm (open-luks-device): Likewise. * gnu/system/vm.scm (iso9660-image): Call 'uuid-bytevector' for the #:volume-uuid argument.
file-systems: Introduce (gnu system uuid). * gnu/build/file-systems.scm (sub-bytevector) (latin1->string, %fat32-endianness, fat32-uuid->string) (%iso9660-uuid-rx, string->iso9660-uuid) (iso9660-uuid->string, %network-byte-order) (dce-uuid->string, %uuid-rx, string->dce-uuid) (string->ext2-uuid, string->ext3-uuid, string->ext4-uuid) (vhashq, %uuid-parsers, %uuid-printers, string->uuid) (uuid->string): Move to... * gnu/system/uuid.scm: ... here. New file. * gnu/system/file-systems.scm (uuid): Move to the above file. * gnu/system/vm.scm: Adjust accordingly. * gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add uuid.scm.
install: Add OpenSSH to the global profile. Suggested by Jan Nieuwenhuizen. * gnu/system/install.scm (installation-os)[packages]: Add OPENSSH.
install: Add 'passwd' to $PATH. Suggested by Jan Nieuwenhuizen. * gnu/system/install.scm (installation-os)[setuid-programs]: Add 'passwd'.
vm: Call iso9660-image with #:register-closures? as #t. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image): Call iso9660-image with #:register-closures? as #t.
vm: Add support for registering closures to iso9660-image. * gnu/system/vm.scm (iso9660-image): Add support for registering closures.
vm: Remove redundant conditional in system-disk-image. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image): Remove redundant conditional for #:file-system-type when calling qemu-image.
gnu: bootloader: Deprecate "device" field in favor of "target". * 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.
Merge branch 'master' into core-updates
gnu: grub-efi-bootloader: Specialize grub-install invocation. * 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.
Merge branch 'master' into core-updates
vm: Use grub-hybrid's grub-mkrescue. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image): Use grub-hybrid's grub-mkrescue. * gnu/bootlader/grub.scm (grub-mkrescue-bootloader): New variable.
Merge branch 'master' into core-updates
system: Add 'grep --color' alias in '.bash_profile' skeleton. * gnu/system/shadow.scm (default-skeletons)[profile]: Add 'grep' alias.
system: Add a default '.guile' skeleton. * gnu/system/shadow.scm (default-skeletons): Add ".guile".
Merge branch 'master' into core-updates
vm: Add a <virtual-machine> type and associated gexp compiler. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Add #:options parameter and honor it. (<virtual-machine>): New record type. (virtual-machine): New macro. (port-forwardings->qemu-options, virtual-machine-compiler): New procedures.
vm: 'iso9660-image' produces a single-file output. * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Add #:single-file-output? and pass it to 'load-in-linux-vm'. (iso9660-image): Pass #:single-file-output? to 'expression->derivation-in-linux-vm'. * gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Add #:single-file-output? and honor it.
locale: Demonadify the locale creation API. * gnu/system/locale.scm (single-locale-directory): Use 'computed-file' instead of 'gexp->derivation'. (locale-directory): Adjust accordingly and do the same. * gnu/system.scm (operating-system-directory-base-entries): Adjust accordingly.
