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.
* guix/scripts/edit.scm: Make nano the default editor.
Nano is sensible default, as it is installed by base system.
For development, user can set custom value for $EDITOR.

Previously, we'd just print an ugly backtrace when running on Guile 3
because the '%exception throw would not be caught anywhere.
Reported by Arne Babenhauserheide <arne_bab@web.de>
in <https://bugs.gnu.org/40496>.
* guix/scripts/system/reconfigure.scm (install-bootloader-program): In
'catch' handler, match '%exception and use 'raise-exception' instead of
'throw' to rethrow in that case.
This ensures '%current-target-system' is correctly bound upfront, which
some packages rely on.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (guix-pack): Pass #:target to 'run-with-store'.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (with-shepherd-error-handling): Use 'mbegin'
instead of 'begin'.
(perform-action): Print a message after 'upgrade-shepherd-services'.
That message had disappeared in commit
5c8c8c455420af27189d6045b3599fe6e27ad012.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/39301>.
Reported by strypsteen@posteo.net.
* guix/scripts/system/reconfigure.scm (switch-to-system)
(upgrade-shepherd-services, install-bootloader): Use 'system*' instead
of 'primitive-load'.
Previously, 'switch-to-system.drv' and 'install-bootloader.drv' would
depend on the user's (guix config) module. This is no longer the case.
* guix/scripts/system/reconfigure.scm (not-config?): New procedure.
(switch-system-program): Do not import the user's (guix config). Use
'make-config.scm' instead.
(install-bootloader-program): Likewise.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/35872>.
Reported by Andy Tai <atai@atai.org>.
* guix/profiles.scm (list=?, manifest-entry=?): New procedures.
* guix/scripts/package.scm (transaction-upgrade-entry): In the '=' case,
use 'manifest-entry=?' to determine whether it's an upgrade.
* tests/packages.scm ("transaction-upgrade-entry, zero upgrades,
propagated inputs"): New test.
Fixes a regression introduced in
131f50cdc9dbb7183023f4dae759876a9e700bef whereby the install/upgrade
message would not be displayed:
$ guix upgrade -n
2.1 MB would be downloaded:
/gnu/store/…-something-1.2
/gnu/store/…-its-dependency-2.3
This is because we'd directly abort from 'transaction-upgrade-entry' to
the build handler of 'build-notifier'.
* guix/scripts/package.scm (transaction-upgrade-entry): Call 'string=?'
expression in 'with-build-handler'.
* tests/packages.scm ("transaction-upgrade-entry, grafts"): New test.
* guix/profiles.scm (lower-manifest-entry): Export.
* guix/scripts/package.scm (transaction-upgrade-entry)[lower-manifest-entry*]
[upgrade]: New procedures.
Use 'lower-manifest-entry*' instead of 'package-derivation' to compute
the output file name of PKG.
* guix/scripts/archive.scm (export-from-store): Remove call to
'show-what-to-build' and dry-run? condition.
(guix-archive): Wrap 'cond' in 'with-build-handler'.
Rather than individual checkers opening up a connection to the store for each
package to check, if any checker requires a store connection, open a
connection and pass it to all checkers that would use it. This makes running
the derivation checker much faster for multiple packages.
* guix/scripts/lint.scm (run-checkers): Add a #:store argument, and pass the
store to checkers if they require a store connection.
(guix-lint): Establish a store connection if any checker requires one, and
pass it through to run-checkers.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/38196>.
Reported by Florian Pelz <pelzflorian@pelzflorian.de>.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (maybe-suggest-running-guix-pull): Check
whether 'current-profile' returns true instead of checking for the
existence of ~root/.config/guix/current. That way, "sudo guix system
reconfigure" no longer emits a warning in that case.
* guix/scripts/pull.scm (display-news-entry): Remove extra space in
format string for 'indented-string'.
(indented-string): Remove.
(display-new/upgraded-packages)[pretty]: Pass #:initial-indent? to
'indented-string'.
* guix/ui.scm (indented-string): New procedure.
* guix/scripts/package.scm (build-and-use-profile): Remove #:dry-run?
and #:use-substitutes?. Remove call to 'show-what-to-build' and
'dry-run?' special case.
(process-actions): Adjust accordingly.
(guix-package*): Wrap 'parameterize' in 'with-build-handler'.
* guix/scripts/pull.scm (build-and-install): Remove #:use-substitutes?
and #:dry-run? and adjust 'update-profile' call accordingly. Remove
'dry-run?' conditional.
(guix-pull): Wrap body in 'with-build-handler'.
