* gnu/installer/dump.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/dump.scm: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (INSTALLER_MODULES): Add them.
* gnu/installer/record.scm (<installer>)[dump-page]: New field.
* gnu/installer/steps.scm (%current-result): New variable.
(run-installer-steps): Update it.
* gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Add tar and gip to the installer
path. Add guile-webutils and gnutls to the Guile extensions. Generate and send
the crash dump report.

report id.
(dump-page): New procedure.
(newt-installer): Update it.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52831>.
Make sure to install the en_US.utf8 fallback locale if the selected locale is
not supported.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-locale): New procedure.
(install-system): Call it.
Installing the locale inside the container, once the cow-store is mounted,
causes the process to keep opened locale files that can later prevent the
cow-store umount.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-command): Remove locale argument.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Adapt it.
* gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Add gnutls extension.
* gnu/installer/newt/network.scm (wait-service-online): Check if the CI server
can be reached.
Filter the devices that are smaller than 2GiB in the device selection list.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (%min-device-size): New variable.
(non-install-devices): Rename it ...
(eligible-devices): ... this way. Filter the install device as well as the
small devices.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-partitioning-page): Adapt it.
We had several bug reports with a root cause of "the clock was
incorrect" from users who used the installer to install a non-graphical
Guix System.
* gnu/installer/services.scm (%system-services): Add the ntp-service-type.
* gnu/installer/newt/services.scm (run-system-administration-cbt-page): New
variable.
(run-services-page): Use run-system-administration-cbt-page when not
installing a desktop.
* gnu/installer/tests.scm (choose-services): Add and use a
choose-misc-service? procedure.
* gnu/tests/install.scm (installation-target-os-for-gui-tests)<services>: Add
ntp-service-type.
Currently, the installer page RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE offers to the user all
installer services that are not of the types 'desktop', 'network-management', or
'networking'. Concretely, this means that it offers the CUPS printing service,
because that is the only service of a different type defined in the installer.
In later commits, we will add some services of a new type, and we only want them
to be offered when the user is installing a non-graphical system.
At least one of these new services (NTP) is part of %DESKTOP-SERVICES. If it
was also offered on RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE, and the user had configured a
system using %DESKTOP-SERVICES, the user could accidentally add NTP to their
services twice, which is an error and would break installation.
So, this commit makes the RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE be more specific about
what services to offer. This makes it easier to discriminate between desktop and
non-desktop installations, in terms of when a given service is offered.
* gnu/installer/newt/services.scm (RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE): Rename to ...
(RUN-PRINTING-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE): ... new variable, and select only 'document' services.
(RUN-SERVICES-PAGE): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/installer/tests.scm (CHOOSE-SERVICES): Adjust accordingly.
Recommending ext4 over btrfs is probably ill-advised nowadays. See the
regular bug reports about running out of /gnu/store directory entries,
for which the documented fix then breaks booting with GRUB.
Instead, just list regular file systems alphabetically. We can bikeshed
bcachefs later ;-)
Move second-class file systems like NTFS to their own section at the end
of the list.
* gnu/packages/package-management.scm (run-fs-type-page): Reorder the
LISTBOX-ITEMS.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-fs-type-page): Add ‘xfs’ to the
list box.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (user-fs-type-name, user-fs-type->mount-type)
(partition-filesystem-user-type): Add ‘xfs’ mapping.
(create-xfs-file-system): New procedure.
(format-user-partitions): Use it.
* gnu/installer.scm (set-installer-path): Add xfsprogs.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50723>.
The keymap xml contains optional shortDescription and description fields. The
assoc-ref call on those fields can return false, handle it correctly.
* gnu/installer/keymap.scm (xkb-rules->models+layouts): Introduce a new
"maybe-empty" helper to deal with optional fields. Use it for shortDescription
and description fields.
* gnu/installer/tests.scm (choose-services): Accept a new
choose-other-service? keyword argument, defaulting to false.
Expect an "Other services" checkbox-list. Update docstring.
* gnu/installer/services.scm (%system-services): Add CUPS.
* gnu/installer/newt/services.scm (run-other-services-cbt-page):
New procedure.
(run-services-page): Call it last.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/49126>.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-disk-page): Fix the return value when
removing a free space partition.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47780>.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (installation-device): New method.
(non-install-devices): Remove devices which are reported as read-only by
parted or which path is identical to the installation device path returned by
the above method.
The "fat" file-system mount type doesn't exist in Linux. Trying to mount a
FAT16 partition with "fat" file-system type returns -ENODEV.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48419>.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (user-fs-type->mount-type): Use the "vfat"
file-system for FAT16 partitions.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (&cannot-read-uuid): New condition.
(cannot-read-uuid?, cannot-read-uuid-partition): New procedures.
(check-user-partitions): Check that all user-partitions have a valid UUID,
raide the above condition otherwise.
* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-disk-page): Run an error page if the
&cannot-read-uuid condition is raised.
* gnu/installer/tests.scm (conclude-installation): Rename it into ...
(start-installation): ... this new procedure.
(complete-installation): New procedure.
(choose-partitioning): Add an uefi-support? argument.
* gnu/tests/install.scm (uefi-firmware): New procedure.
(run-install, qemu-command/writable-image, gui-test-program,
installation-target-os-for-gui-tests): Add an uefi-support? argument.
(%extra-packages): Add grub-efi, fatfsck/static and dosfstools.
(%test-gui-installed-os): New variable.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47889>.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (esp-partition?): Remove the MSDOS check.
(auto-partition!): On MSDOS disks, check if an ESP partition is present. If
that's the case, do not remove it. Otherwise, if UEFI is supported, create
one.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/45378>.
* gnu/installer/newt/keymap.scm (run-layout-page): Return false when
"Continue" button is pressed.
(run-keymap-page): Do not try to compute variants if layout is false. Also do
not try to format the result if layout is false.
* gnu/installer.scm (compute-keymap-step): Do not apply keymap if
"run-keymap-page" returns false.
This reverts commit aecd2a13cb for two
reasons:
1. The warning would fire every time (gnu services ssh) is loaded;
2. There's still no clear consensus on the approach to follow as
discussed in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/44808>.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/44808>.
Reported by Christopher Lemmer Webber <cwebber@dustycloud.org>.
* gnu/services/ssh.scm (true-but-soon-false): New procedure.
(<openssh-configuration>)[password-authentication?]: Change default to
'true-but-soon-false'.
* gnu/installer/services.scm (%system-services): Explicitly set
'password-authentication?' to #f.

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-11/msg00326.html.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (call-with-time): New procedure,
(let/time): new macro.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (with-delay-device-in-use?): Increase the retry
count to 16.
(non-install-devices): Remove the call to with-delay-device-in-use? as it
doesn't return the expected result, and would block much longer now.
(free-parted): Log the time required to sync each device.
