system: examples: Add a template for BeagleBone Black.
* gnu/system/examples/beaglebone-black.tmpl: New file.
* Makefile.am (EXAMPLES): Add it.
* gnu/system/install.scm (/etc/configuration-files): Add it.
vm: Pass the host's /dev/urandom to the guest at /dev/hwrng.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Use QEMU's virtio-rng-pci.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Likewise.
gnu: system: vm: Use loose cache for 9p file system.
This improves the performance of the shared store for operations involving
lots of files, e.g. searching through the store.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (mapping->file-system): Add cache=loose to options.
system: Add BeagleBone Black installer.
* gnu/bootloader/u-boot.scm (u-boot-beaglebone-black-bootloader): New exported
bootloader.
* gnu/system/install.scm (beaglebone-black-installation-os): New exported variable.
bootloader: Factorize write-file-on-device.
* gnu/bootloader/extlinux.scm (install-extlinux): Factorize bootloader
writing in a new procedure write-file-on-device defined in (gnu build
bootloader).
* gnu/build/bootloader.scm: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add new file.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-img): Adapt to import and use (gnu build bootloader)
module during derivation building.
* gnu/scripts/system.scm (bootloader-installer-derivation): Ditto.
vm: Adapt qemu command to ARM.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): New argument #:target-arm32.
Use it to adapt command for qemu-system-arm. This implies to choose a
machine ("virt"), use the correct console port "ttyAMA0", disable KVM use
that is buggy on some ARM boards (Odroid XU4 for example) and use user mode
network stack instead of NIC. Gather all those options in a new variable
"arch-specific-flags".
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Pass
to load-in-linux-vm "#:target-arm32?" argument.
Merge branch 'version-0.14.0'
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".
