Raw disk-images and ISO9660 images are created in a Qemu virtual machine. This
is quite fragile, very slow, and almost unusable without KVM.
For all these reasons, add support for host image generation. This implies the
use new image generation mechanisms.
- Raw disk images: images of partitions are created using tools such as mke2fs
and mkdosfs depending on the partition file-system type. The partition
images are then assembled into a final image using genimage.
- ISO9660 images: the ISO root directory is populated within the store. GNU
xorriso is then called on that directory, in the exact same way as this is
done in (gnu build vm) module.
Those mechanisms are built upon the new (gnu image) module.
* gnu/image.scm: New file.
* gnu/system/image.scm: New file.
* gnu/build/image: New file.
* gnu/local.mk: Add them.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image): Rename to system-disk-image-in-vm.
* gnu/ci.scm (qemu-jobs): Adapt to new API.
* gnu/tests/install.scm (run-install): Ditto.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Ditto.
Fixes an evaluation error introduced in
dd1ee160be: when invoked via
'build-aux/cuirass/gnu-system.scm', SOURCE is a store file name, not a
<local-file> as it is when invoked via 'etc/system-tests.scm'.
* gnu/ci.scm (channel-build-system)[build]: Call 'lower-object' only
when SOURCE is not a string.
* gnu/ci.scm (channel-build-system)[build, lower]: Honor #:source.
(channel-source->package): New procedure.
(system-test-jobs): Remove 'instance' and call to
'checkout->channel-instance'. Use 'channel-source->package'.
* build-aux/run-system-tests.scm (tests-for-channel-instance): Rename to...
(tests-for-current-guix): ... this. Change 'instance' to 'source'.
(run-system-tests): Use 'local-file' instead of 'interned-file' for
SOURCE.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/36378>.
Reported by Reza Alizadeh Majd <r.majd@pantherx.org>.
* build-aux/hydra/gnu-system.scm (find-current-checkout): New procedure.
(hydra-jobs): Use FIND-CURRENT-CHECKOUT to define CHECKOUT. Pass it to the
inferior Guix as an extra argument whose key is 'superior-guix-checkout'.
* gnu/ci.scm (find-current-checkout): New procedure.
(hydra-jobs): Use FIND-CURRENT-CHECKOUT to define CHECKOUT. This will return
'#f' if the current Guix is an inferior. In that case, use the
'superior-guix-checkout' argument provided by the superior Guix.
This is a followup to 7e6d8d366a.
It means that "make check-system" can run tests from (gnu tests install)
much faster because it does not need to build a full 'guix' package.
* gnu/ci.scm (channel-instance->package): Export.
* build-aux/run-system-tests.scm (tests-for-channel-instance): New
procedure, with code formerly in 'run-system-tests'.
(run-system-tests): Call 'interned-file' for SOURCE, and add call to
'tests-for-channel-instance'.
The "ghostscript" replacements introduced in
0b859092a7 would not be built because they
have the same name as the original packages.
* gnu/ci.scm (all-packages): Return the replacement of PACKAGE before
PACKAGE.
This patch parameterizes previously hard-coded instances of
i686-w64-mingw32, adding support for x86_64-w64-mingw32.
* gnu/packages/mingw.scm (make-mingw-w64): New procedure.
(mingw-w64-i686, mingw-w64-x86_64): New variables.
(%mingw-triplet): Remove.
(mingw-w64): Update to point to 'mingw-w64-i686'.
* gnu/packages/cross-base.scm (cross-gcc): Use 'libc' keyword argument
if specified, instead of treating it as a boolean.
(native-libc): Return the correct mingw-w64 depending on machine
specified in target.
* gnu/packages/bootstrap.scm (glibc-dynamic-linker): Add "x86_64-mingw".
* gnu/build/cross-toolchain.scm (set-cross-path/mingw): Replace
hardcoded 'i686-w64-mingw32' instances with 'target' keyword argument.
(cross-gcc-build-phases): Update accordingly; use 'target-mingw?'
implementation of target checking and add commentary.
* gnu/ci.scm (%cross-targets): Add "x86_64-w64-mingw32".
Fixes a bug made evident e79281be10: the
x86_64-linux derivation of 'current-guix' would be cached and reused for
i686-linux, leading to test
failures.
Namely, /run/current-system/profile/bin/guix would have an x86_64
binary in its shebang, and thus it would end up being interpreted by
/bin/sh, which would fail like this:
+ guix --version
/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix: line 2: !#: command not found
/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `set!'
/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix: line 3: `(begin (set! %load-path …
See <https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1431119/details>.
* gnu/ci.scm (channel-build-system)[build]: Pass #:system to
'run-with-store'.
This fixes a regression introduced in
b5f8c2c885 whereby 'current-guix' (needed
by some of the system tests) would fail to build.
Reported by Ricardo Wurmus <rekado@elephly.net>.
It also speeds up compilation of 'current-guix' since the channel
instance is already compiled or can be built quickly compared to the
default 'current-guix'.
* gnu/packages/package-management.scm (current-guix-package): New
variable.
(current-guix): Honor it.
* gnu/ci.scm (channel-build-system): New variable.
(channel-instances->derivation): New procedure.
(system-test-jobs): Add #:source and #:commit parameters.
Define 'instance' and parameterize CURRENT-GUIX-PACKAGE.
(hydra-jobs)[checkout, commit, source]: New variables.
Pass #:source and #:commit to 'system-test-jobs'.
Previously we would rely on auto-compilation of all the Guix modules.
The complete evaluation would take ~15mn on berlin.guixsd.org and
require lots of RAM. This approach should be faster since potentially
only part of the modules are rebuilt. Furthermore, as a side-effect, it
builds the derivations that 'guix pull' uses.
* build-aux/hydra/gnu-system.scm: Remove 'eval-when' form.
(hydra-jobs): New procedure.
* gnu/ci.scm (package->alist, qemu-jobs, system-test-jobs)
(tarball-jobs): Return strings for the 'license' field.
* guix/self.scm (compiled-guix)[*cli-modules*]: Add (gnu ci).
