2015-08-08build: container: Add #:host-uids argument to call-with-container.David Thompson
It's not always possible to map 65536 uids when creating a container as the root user within another user namespace. This is true when building Guix within the build daemon's container. By using a uid range of 1 by default, even as the root user, the tests now pass. * gnu/build/linux-container.scm (initialize-user-namespace, run-container): Add 'host-uids' argument. (call-with-container): Add #:host-uids keyword argument. * tests/containers.scm ("container-excursion"): Update 'run-container' call.

Add #:partitions. Rewrite to use 'initialize-partition' for each item of PARTITIONS. * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Add (guix records) to #:modules default value. (qemu-image): Adjust accordingly.

2014-11-20linux-boot: Don't catch exceptions thrown by 'mount-root-file-system'.Ludovic Courtès
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (mount-root-file-system): Remove 'catch #t' around body. This was unneeded and even inconvenient because this procedure is called from within 'call-with-error-handling' already.
2014-11-20file-systems: Always write the options field in /etc/mtab.Ludovic Courtès
* gnu/build/file-systems.scm (mount-file-system): When OPTIONS is false, write "rw" to /etc/mtab. This fixes a bug whereby 'remove-from-mtab' in (guix syscalls) would otherwise raise a 'match-error' because of the missing field. This affected file systems mounted from the initrd, such as devtmpfs, which has options == #f.
2014-11-13vm: Set the boot flag on the root partition.Ludovic Courtès
Reported by nebuli on #guix. * gnu/build/vm.scm (initialize-partition-table): Add #:bootable? parameter and honor it. (initialize-hard-disk): Likewise.

Add 'device-mapping-commands' variable, and use it to build the #:pre-mount argument of 'boot-system'. * gnu/system.scm (mapped-device-user, operating-system-user-mapped-devices, operating-system-boot-mapped-devices): New procedures. (device-mapping-services): Use 'operating-system-user-mapped-devices' instead of 'operating-system-mapped-devices'. (operating-system-initrd-file): Call the initrd with #:mapped-devices.

* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Remove #:guile-modules-in-chroot? and related code. * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (base-initrd): Likewise. * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Remove #:guile-modules-in-chroot? argument in 'base-initrd' call.
2014-09-12activation: Honor $GUIX_NEW_SYSTEM for use by 'guix system reconfigure'.Ludovic Courtès
* gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-current-system): Honor $GUIX_NEW_SYSTEM by default. * guix/scripts/system.scm (switch-to-system): Set $GUIX_NEW_SYSTEM before loading SCRIPT.
2014-09-12activation: Set the permissions of /etc/sudoers to 440.Ludovic Courtès
* gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-etc): Move 'rm-f' to a local 'define'. When TARGET is "sudoers", make it 440.
2014-09-12activation: Make the /bin/sh symlink at activation time.Ludovic Courtès
* gnu/build/install.scm (directives): Remove "/bin/sh". * gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-/bin/sh): New procedure. * gnu/system.scm (operating-system-activation-script): Use it.
2014-09-12activation: Make sure /etc/sudoers & co. are regular files.Ludovic Courtès
Before that, 'sudo' would exit with: sudo: /etc/sudoers is not a regular file sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting * gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-etc): Check if SOURCE matches 'file-is-directory?'. If not, use 'copy-file' instead of 'symlink'.
2014-09-12activation: Remove outdated comment.Ludovic Courtès
* gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-etc): Remove outdated comment.
