1270b2e209.
The price to pay is about 5% of a CPU core usage in the guest in the worst
scenario.
* gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl
(auto-update-resolution-crutch): New mcron job.
[services]: Extend the mcron-service with it.
Having 2.29 is most likely no longer justified. Removing it reduces the
closure size returned by:
guix size $(guix system build gnu/system/install.scm)
from 1.6G to 1.5G.
* gnu/system/locale.scm (%default-locale-libcs): Remove GLIBC-2.29.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47225>.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (%default-msize-value): New variable.
(%linux-vm-file-systems): Use it as the value of the msize option.
(mapping->file-system): Likewise.

Some services require networking, I'm looking at the Guix Build Coordinator
agent. Networking seems to work in the childhurd VM, so I think this change
makes sense.
* gnu/system/hurd.scm (%base-services/hurd): Add 'networking to the provision
parameter for the static-networking service.
Remove the 'vm-image' command that has been superseded by the 'image'
command.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image): Remove it.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Mark 'vm-image'
command as deprecated and use the image API to produce the VM image.
(perform-action, show-help): Adapt accordingly.
* tests/guix-system.sh: Ditto.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system,
Running Guix in a VM): Ditto.
* etc/completion/fish/guix.fish: Ditto.
* etc/completion/zsh/_guix: Ditto.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (account-activation): Delete duplicate (eq?) users
and groups before transforming them to specs and asserting, that names are
unique.
The change from formatted message causes the line to no longer automatically
be ended. This will need to be reverted once again, when duplicate names
become hard errors.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (assert-unique-account-names)
(assert-unique-group-names): End format strings in ~%.
This reverts commit a3002104a8, which
breaks certain system configurations like:
$ guix system reconfigure config.scm
guix system: error: the following groups appear more than once: lp
*gnu/system/shadow.scm (find-duplicates): New variable.
(assert-unique-account-names, assert-unique-group-names): New variables.
(account-activation): Use them here.
Until now deduplication was performed as an additional pass after
copying files, which involve re-traversing all the files that had just
been copied.
* guix/store/deduplication.scm (copy-file/deduplicate): New procedure.
* tests/store-deduplication.scm ("copy-file/deduplicate"): New test.
* guix/build/store-copy.scm (populate-store): Add #:deduplicate?
parameter and honor it.
* tests/gexp.scm ("gexp->derivation, store copy"): Pass #:deduplicate? #f
to 'populate-store'.
* gnu/build/image.scm (initialize-root-partition): Pass #:deduplicate?
to 'populate-store'. Pass #:deduplicate? #f to 'register-closure'.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (root-partition-initializer): Likewise.
* gnu/build/install.scm (populate-single-profile-directory): Pass
#:deduplicate? #f to 'populate-store'.
* gnu/build/linux-initrd.scm (build-initrd): Likewise.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (self-contained-tarball)[import-module?]: New
procedure.
[build]: Pass it as an argument to 'source-module-closure'.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (squashfs-image)[build]: Wrap in
'with-extensions'.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd)[import-module?]: New
procedure.
[builder]: Pass it to 'source-module-closure'.
* gnu/system/install.scm (cow-store-service-type)[import-module?]: New
procedure. Pass it to 'source-module-closure'.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (file-system-packages): Add
bcachefs-tools/static.
(file-system-type-modules): Add an entry for the "bcachefs" type and
module.
When the image type is "raw" or derived from it (such as "qcow2"), an ESP
partition and file system is already added by the image generator. If a
conflicting user-provided EFI file system is provided, it causes the boot to
fail, as happens for the lightweight-desktop.tmpl and desktop.tmpl templates
under gnu/system/examples.
* gnu/system/image.scm (operating-system-for-image): Remove file systems whose
mount point is "/boot/efi".
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/44511>.
Reported by Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer@gmail.com>.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image): Add 'bootloader' field to OS.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image)[file-systems-to-keep]: Check
whether SOURCE is a string before calling 'string-prefix?'. Remove
UUIDs and file system labels as well.
This builds are extremely I/O-intensive so they'd rather not run on the
head node of the build farm.
* gnu/system/image.scm (system-disk-image, system-iso9660-image): Pass
#:local-build? #f.
* gnu/system/image.scm (arm32-disk-image, arm32-image-type): New variables.
(arm64-disk-image): Inherit from arm32-disk-image.
(arm64-image-type): Change name to 'arm64-raw.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Rename the RNG.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Likewise.
(system-docker-image): Rename the ROOT-DIRECTORY.
* gnu/packages/crypto.scm (eschalot)[arguments]: Use a different
arbitrary string.
* gnu/packages/wicd.scm (wicd)[arguments]: Remove unused configure flag.
* gnu/packages/xorg.scm (xorg-server): Set a more accurate OS vendor.
