Until now, running "guix pack -s i686-linux" on an x86_64-linux machine,
for instance, would use an x86_64 guile for module derivations. This
was OK until now, but would break when passing "--localstatedir" due to
the introduction of guile-sqlite3: we'd be using the i686 guile-sqlite3
along with the x86_64 guile.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (guix-pack): Pass the 'system option from OPTS
to 'package-derivation'.
Partly fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/30312>.
* doc/guix.texi (Preparing for Installation): Add note on how to choose
between UEFI and BIOS.
(Using the Configuration System)[Bootloader]: New subsubsection.
(Bootloader Configuration): Expound on the bootloader type and target.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: Switch to UEFI.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl: Explicitly mention "legacy" and
"BIOS" in the comments.
Reported by Tobias Geerinckx-Rice <me@tobias.gr>
and Björn Höfling <bjoern.hoefling@bjoernhoefling.de>.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (default-skeletons)["bashrc"]: Use
'--color=auto' instead of '--color'.
Previously, entries for 'guix.fr.info' would end up in 'dir', above the
'guix.info' entries; consequently, running 'info guix' would actually
open 'guix.fr.info', which was confusing for non-French readers.
* guix/profiles.scm (info-dir-file)[glibc-utf8-locales]: New variable.
[build](info-file-language): New procedure.
(install-info): Use it, to create 'dir.LANG' files.
Set GUIX_LOCPATH.

This reverts commit 24420f5ffa.
This broke 'package-transitive-supported-systems', which would return
the union of supported systems instead of the intersection.
This fixes a regression introduced in
df2f6400b1: since the new
'register-path' (actually 'reset-timestamps') would make files
read-only, 'delete-file-recursively' would fail to delete them. Thus,
re-running 'guix system init' on an already-populated store would fail
with a 'delete-file' EPERM.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (copy-item): Use 'lstat' instead of
'file-exists?'. Call 'make-file-writable' on each directory below
DEST.
This update is needed because the release tarball from github does not
contain all the files needed for us to build the package.
* gnu/packages/emacs.scm (emacs-use-package): Update to commit da8c9e2.
[source]: change to git.
[arguments]: Enable tests.

* gnu/packages/fontutils.scm (libuninameslist): Update to 20180701.
[source]: Change URI to use release tarball. Remove FILE-NAME.
[native-inputs]: Remove.
Previously they'd always be placed next to TO-REPLACE, which would lead
to EPERM in some cases.
* guix/store/deduplication.scm (replace-with-link): Add #:swap-directory
parameter and honor it. Add call to 'make-file-writable'. Catch
'system-error' around 'rename-file'.
(deduplicate): Pass #:swap-directory and remove uses of
'false-if-system-error'.
* tests/store-deduplication.scm ("deduplicate"): Add 'chmod' call.
This version is 13% faster than the one above when timing:
(fold-packages (lambda (p x)
(package-transitive-supported-systems p))
'())
* guix/packages.scm (package-transitive-supported-systems): Make
'systems' a set instead of calling 'lset-intersection' repeatedly.
