* gnu.scm (%try-use-modules): New procedure.
(package-module-hint, service-module-hint): New procedures.
(try-use-modules): New macro.
(use-package-modules, use-service-modules, use-system-modules): Use it.
* tests/guix-system.sh: Test it.
services: Add 'lookup-service-types'.
* gnu/services.scm (lookup-service-types): New procedure.
* tests/services.scm ("lookup-service-types"): New test.
services: 'fold-service-types' includes (gnu services).
* gnu/services.scm (all-service-modules): New procedure.
(fold-service-types): Use it for the default MODULES value.
services: 'fold-service-types' honors its seed.
* gnu/services.scm (fold-service-types): Use SEED instead of '().
ui: Define and honor '&error-location' and '&fix-hint' conditions.
* guix/utils.scm (&error-location, &fix-hint): New condition types.
* guix/ui.scm (report-load-error): Handle them.
(call-with-error-handling): Honor '&error-location'.
ui: Introduce (guix i18n).
* guix/ui.scm (G_, N_, _P, %gettext-domain, %package-text-domain): Move
to...
* guix/i18n.scm: ... here. New file.
gnu: service: Update comment.
* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-activation): Update 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".
gnu: miso: Use pypi-uri.
* gnu/packages/bioinformatics.scm (miso)[source]: Use pypi-uri.
gnu: Add r-vcd.
* gnu/packages/cran.scm (r-vcd): New variable.
gnu: Add r-laeken.
* gnu/packages/cran.scm (r-laeken): New variable.
doc: Move paragraph about signature verification to the top.
* doc/contributing.texi (Submitting Patches): Remind contributors to verify
cryptographic signatures at the very beginning.
gnu: fastcap: Use texlive-tiny.
* gnu/packages/engineering.scm (fastcap)[native-inputs]: Replace texlive with
texlive-tiny.
[arguments]: Fix indentation; set HOME in "make-pdf" phase to avoid font
errors with texlive-tiny.
