'pretty-print-with-comments/splice' instead of 'for-each' and 'pretty-print'.
Parted 3.5 introduces the following regression:
- partition-set-flag sets the BIOS_GRUB flag. The partition type is set to
PARTITION_BIOS_GRUB_GUID.
- partition-set-system resets the partition type to PARTITION_LINUX_DATA_GUID
undoing what's done by partition-set-flag.
To prevent it, reverse the call order.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55549>.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (mkpart): Call partition-set-system before
partition-set-flag.
Forbid root user creation as it could lead to a system without any
non-priviledged user accouts.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54666>.
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (run-user-add-page): Forbid it.
This is to make it less surprising, given the common convention sets forth by
the kernel Linux command-line parameters.

* gnu/installer/parted.scm (installer-root-partition-path): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/system.scm (bootable-kernel-arguments): Add a VERSION argument and
update doc. Use VERSION to conditionally return old style vs new style initrd
arguments.

prepare-dump, which copies the files necessary for the dump, and
make-dump which creates the archive.
* gnu/installer/record.scm (installer): Add report-page field. Change
documented return value of exit-error.
* gnu/installer/newt.scm (exit-error): Change arguments to be a string

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.

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

choose-misc-service? procedure.

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.

(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.
