linux-boot: Load modules and their dependencies, à la 'modprobe'. * gnu/build/linux-boot.scm: Use (gnu build linux-modules). (load-linux-module*): Remove. (boot-system): Add #:linux-module-directory parameter. [lookup-module]: New procedure. Call 'current-module-debugging-port'. Pass #:lookup-module to 'load-linux-module*'. Map LOOKUP-MODULE on LINUX-MODULES. * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (base-initrd): Adjust 'boot-system' call accordingly. Adjust #:modules argument as well. * gnu/system.scm (operating-system-activation-script)[%modules]: Likewise. * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Likewise.
linux-initrd: Copy modules and their dependencies to the initrd. * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (flat-linux-module-directory)[build-exp]: Add 'lookup' procedure. Use 'recursive-module-dependencies' to compute the list of modules to copy. Adjust #:modules parameter.

doc: Update stale references in "Bootstrapping". * doc/guix.texi (Bootstrapping): Final definitions are in (gnu packages commencement). Change gnu-build-system xref to "Build Systems".
substitute-binary: Change "unresponsive" to "slow". * guix/scripts/substitute-binary.scm (fetch): Change "unresponsive" to "somewhat slow". I'm being told that the former is often misunderstood as "broken".
gnu: gcl: Drop 'strip phase. * gnu/packages/lisp.scm (gcl): Drop 'strip phase to make maxima build.
gnu: Add numpydoc. * gnu/packages/python.scm (python-numpydoc, python2-numpydoc): New variables.

(operating-system-locale-directory): New procecure. (operating-system-derivation): Use it. * doc/guix.texi (Using the Configuration System): Change example locale to "fr_FR.utf8". (operating-system Reference): Add xref to "Locales". Document 'locale-definitions'. (Locales): New section. * po/guix/POTFILES.in: Add gnu/system.scm.
gnu: ccrtp: Update to 2.1.1. * gnu/packages/telephony.scm (ccrtp): Update to 2.1.1.

gnu: ucommon: Update to 6.2.2. * gnu/packages/telephony.scm (ucommon): Update to 6.2.2.
gnu: sipwitch: Update to 1.9.3. * gnu/packages/telephony.scm (sipwitch): Update to 1.9.3.
linux-boot: Call 'pre-mount' before 'mount-root-file-system'. Partly fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/19190>. Reported by Nikita Karetnikov <nikita@karetnikov.org>. * gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Move PRE-MOUNT call before 'mount-root-file-system' is called.
linux-boot: Error out when 'pre-mount' returns #f. * gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Call 'error' when PRE-MOUNT returns #f.
gnu: emms: Enable the 'mp3info' back-end for MP3 meta-data. * gnu/packages/emacs.scm (emms)[arguments]: Properly initialize 'emms-info-mp3info-program-name'. This allows the 'emms-info-mp3info' back-end to be enabled by default, even when 'mp3info' is not in $PATH.
gnu: pkg-config: Add pkg.m4 to the cross pkg-config. Suggested by John Darrington. * gnu/packages/pkg-config.scm (cross-pkg-config): Make $out/share/aclocal a symlink to %PKG-CONFIG/share/aclocal.
emacs: Disable build traces produced by the daemon. * emacs/guix-main.scm (process-package-actions, package-source-build-derivation): Pass #:print-build-trace #f to 'set-build-options', to reduce verbosity.
