Now that installing Grub on raw disk-images is supported, we do not need to
rely on (gnu system vm) module.
* gnu/system/image.scm (make-system-image): Rename to ...
(system-image): ... this, and remove the compatibility wrapper.
(find-image): Turn to a monadic procedure. This will become useful when
introducing Hurd support, to be able to detect the target system.
* gnu/ci.scm (qemu-jobs): Use lower-object now that system-image returns a
file-like object.
* gnu/tests/install.scm (run-install): Ditto.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Add a 'base-image'
argument,
(perform-action): adapt accordingly.
The generic 'efi-disk-image' needs to be bootable on systems without EFI. To
do that, GRUB is installed in the post-MBR gap. Make sure that the first
partition starts with an offset, to make this gap large enough for GRUB.
* gnu/system/image.scm (root-offset, root-label): New variables,
(esp-partition): use 'root-offset' as the partition offset,
(root-partition): use 'root-label' as the partition label.
* gnu/build/image.scm (initialize-root-partition): Add bootloader-package and
bootloader-installer arguments. Run the bootloader-installer if defined.
* gnu/system/image.scm (system-disk-image): Adapt the partition initializer
call accordingly.
* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub): When creating a disk-image,
grub-install will fail because it lacks root permissions. In that case, do not
run grub-install and only copy Grub modules to the /boot directory.
* gnu/bootloader.scm (<bootloader>)[disk-image-installer]: New field,
(bootloader-disk-image-installer): export it.
* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub-disk-image): New procedure ...
(grub-bootloader): ... used as "disk-image-installer" here.
(grub-efi-bootloader): set "disk-image-installer" to #f.
* gnu/system/image.scm (root-partition?, find-root-partition): Move to
"Helpers" section.
(root-partition-index): New procedure.
(system-disk-image): Honor disk-image-installer, and
use it to install the bootloader directly on the disk-image, if supported.
* gnu/packages/shells.scm (oil): Update to 0.8.pre5.
[arguments]: Perform ‘patch-compiler-invocation’ phase as part of
'configure. Remove ‘make-destination’ phase. Run a basic smoke test.
[synopsis, description]: Update.
Signed-off-by: Tobias Geerinckx-Rice <me@tobias.gr>
* gnu/packages/patches/transmission-CVE-2018-10756.patch: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/bittorrent.scm (transmission)[source]: Use it.
* gnu/packages/llvm.scm (clang-from-llvm): Add #:tools-extra.
Add 'output' field. In 'inputs', add TOOLS-EXTRA when it's given.
In 'arguments', add 'add-tools-extra' and 'move-extra-tools' phases when
TOOLS-EXTRA is given.
It's been a good run, but no one is maintaining the architecture.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
* doc/guix.texi (GNU Distribution): Change text for mips64el-linux
to denote it is deprecated.
(Daemon Offload Setup): Change occurrences of mips64el-linux to
aarch64-linux and adjust local code snippets.
(Guix Environment)[cross-compilation]: Change mips64el-linux-gnu to
aarch64-linux-gnu.
(GNU Build System)(package-cross-derivation]: Same.
(G-Expressions)[cross compilation]: Same.
(Additional Build Options)[cross-compilation, build logs]: Same.
(qemu-binfmt-service-type): Remove mips64el.
* doc/contributing.texi (Submitting Patches): Same.
* m4/guix.m4: (GUIX_ASSERT_SUPPORTED_SYSTEM): Remove mips64el-linux.
Suggested by Danny Milosavljevic <dannym@scratchpost.org>
in <https://bugs.gnu.org/41494>.
* m4/guix.m4 (GUIX_CHECK_GUILE_GCRYPT): New macro.
* configure.ac: Use it.
This is superseded by <profile>, which was added in
ef674a24c5.
* gnu/system/hurd.scm (compile-manifest): Remove.
(cross-hurd-image)[system-profile]: Define using 'profile'.
