gnu, doc, tests: Use ‘bootloader-configuration’ everywhere.
* doc/guix.texi (Proceeding with the Installation): Replace the old-style
‘grub-configuration’ with the newer ‘bootloader-configuration’ syntax.
* gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl: Likewise.
* gnu/system/install.scm (installation-os): Likewise.
* gnu/tests.scm (%simple-os): Likewise.
* gnu/tests/install.scm (%minimal-os, %minimal-os-on-vda, %separate-home-os)
(%separate-store-os, %raid-root-os, %encrypted-root-os, %btrfs-root-os):
Likewise.
* gnu/tests/nfs.scm (%base-os): Likewise.
* tests/guix-system.scm (OS_BASE, make_user_config): Likewise.
* tests/system.scm (%os, %os-with-mapped-device): Likewise.
bootloader: extlinux: Stop using dd binary.
* gnu/bootloader/extlinux.scm (dd): Remove it,
(install-extlinux): replace dd call by Guile I/O procedures.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image): Add (ice-9 binary-ports) to used-modules
list to provide "get-bytevector-n" and "put-bytevector".
* guix/scripts/system.scm (bootloader-installer-derivation): Ditto.
install: Add colors in 'motd' and 'issue'.
* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services)[motd]: Add colors.
[services]: Use the "lat9u-16" font.
(%issue): Add colors.
install: Add the prerequisites of 'profile-derivation' as GC roots.
* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services): Add
GLIBC-UTF8-LOCALES, TEXINFO, and GUILE-FINAL as GC roots.
uuid: Fix typo in comment.
* gnu/system/uuid.scm: Fix typo in comment.
system: vm: Fix typo in comment.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image): Fix typo targetting -> targeting.
system: vm: Do not add EFI partition on ARM system.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-img): Do not add EFI partition if we are targetting
ARM.
UEFI support on u-boot is still experimental, so do not add EFI partition on
ARM for now.
vm: Filter out file systems that refer to UUIDs or labels.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (virtualized-operating-system)[user-file-systems]:
Filter out things that refer to file system UUIDs or labels.
vm: Use os-defined initrd intead of base-initrd.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image, system-qemu-image,
virtualized-operating-system): Replace base-initrd by
(operating-system-initrd os).
The system produced were always using base-initrd even if the user had
defined a custom initrd based on raw-initrd in the os declaration.
install: Fix typo.
* gnu/system/install.scm (installation-os): Fix typo in comment.
install: Use overlayfs instead of unionfs.
I dediced to keep adding /tmp as tmpfs since I was not able to trigger bug
while still using unionfs, so I could not verify whether this mount is still
needed with overlayfs. Mapping /tmp to tmpfs does not harm, so we are on the
save side.
* gnu/system/install.scm (make-cow-store): Mount /gnu/store without additional
read-only bind-mount, since in overlayfs the "lower" level is always
read-only. Add work-dir required by overlayfs. No need to sleep anymore
since now using the mount syscall. [unionfs]: Remove now unused function.
(%installation-services): Update comment.
(installation-os)[file-systems]: Update comment.
build: Use overlayfs instead of unionfs.
Overlayfs is part of the kernel, while unionfs needs FUSE. This also reduces
the size of the initrd by ca. 4.3% (487K).
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (mount-root-file-system): Remove optional parameter
"unionfs"; mount using overlayfs instead of unionfs; new directory layout
requied by overlayfs; update documentation.
[mark-as-not-killable]: Remove now unused function
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (file-system-packages): Remove now unused
packages "unionfs-fuse/static" and thus unused related 'if'.
(linux-modules): Replace "fuse" by "overlay".
system: vm: Use 2^32 - 1 as hash size.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (operating-system-uuid): Use 2^32 - 1 instead of
2^32 as hash size.
On some 32 bit system (ARM for example), 2^32 exceeds hash max
size (ULONG_MAX = 2^32 - 1).
system: Return early in skeleton '.bashrc' when the shell is non-interactive.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (default-skeletons)[bashrc]: Add return statement.
system: Test for interactive shell instead of `cat` in skeleton '.bashrc'.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (default-skeletons)[bashrc]: Wrap $SSH_CLIENT test in
a conditional testing for interactive shell.
doc: Give an example with a FAT UUID.
* gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl <file-systems>: Add a
UUID for the /boot/efi partition.
* doc/guix.texi (Using the Configuration System): Mention it.
uuid: Change "fat32" to "fat".
* gnu/system/uuid.scm (%fat32-endianness): Rename to...
(%fat-endianness): ... this.
(fat32-uuid->string): Rename to...
(fat-uuid->string): ... this.
(%fat32-uuid-rx): Rename to..
(%fat-uuid-rx): ... this.
(string->fat32-uuid): Rename to...
(string->fat-uuid): ... this.
(%uuid-parsers, %uuid-printers): Add 'fat16.
file-systems: Preserve UUID types when serializing.

* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (file-system->spec): When DEVICE is a
UUID, serialize it in a way that preserves its type.
(spec->file-system): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (canonicalize-device-spec): Add case for
when SPEC is 'uuid?'.
file-systems: 'mount-file-system' now takes a <file-system> object.
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (mount-file-system): Rename 'spec' to 'fs'
and assume it's a <file-system>.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Assume MOUNTS is a list of
<file-system> and adjust accordingly.
* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (mount-file-systems): Remove
'file-system->spec' call.
* gnu/services/base.scm (file-system-shepherd-service): Add
'spec->file-system' call. Add (gnu system file-systems) to 'modules'.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (raw-initrd): Use (gnu system
file-systems). Add 'spec->file-system' call for #:mounts.
