2020-09-10	installer: final: Introduce call-with-mnt-container.	Mathieu Othacehe
	* gnu/installer/final.scm (call-with-mnt-container): New procedure, (install-system): use it instead of call-with-container, to make sure that the container is not jailed.
2020-09-02	installer: Run the installation inside a container.	Mathieu Othacehe
	When the store overlay is mounted, other processes such as kmscon, udev and guix-daemon may open files from the store, preventing the underlying install support from being umounted. See: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-12/msg00161.html. To avoid this situation, mount the store overlay inside a container, and run the installation from within that container. * gnu/build/shepherd.scm (fork+exec-command/container): New procedure. * gnu/services/base.scm (guix-shepherd-service): Support an optional PID argument passed to the "start" method. If that argument is passed, ensure that guix-daemon enters the given PID MNT namespace by using fork+exec-command/container procedure. * gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): Remove it, (install-system): run the installation from within a container. * gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-shell): Remove the display hack.
2020-06-16	installer: final: Remove restart-service procedure.	Mathieu Othacehe
	* gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): Remove "restart-service" that is now provided by (gnu services herd).
2020-06-13	install: final: Add some logging.	Mathieu Othacehe
	* gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): Add some logging.
2020-06-09	installer: final: Dump "guix system init" command output when testing.	Mathieu Othacehe
	When debugging the installation tests, it can be very handy to be able to read "guix system init" command output. * gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Dump installation command output to the console when running the installation tests.
2020-06-09	installer: final: Remove left-over pk call.	Mathieu Othacehe
	* gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): Remove pk call.
2020-06-05	installer: final: Add some extra logging.	Mathieu Othacehe
	* gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): Log the killed process name, (umount-cow-store): inform that we are umounting the cow-store.
2020-03-23	installer: Fix cow-store umount issue.	Mathieu Othacehe
	* gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): Ignore exception that could be raised if a process disappears between reading its pid and its maps file.
2020-03-05	installer: Fix cow-store umount.	Mathieu Othacehe
	This fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/39712>. The guix-daemon was preventing the cow-store umount, so restart it. Some udevd workers, using cow-store files might also still be around, so have some umount retries. * gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): New procedure, (umount-cow-store): restart guix-daemon and kill all processes started from within the cow-store before trying to umount the store overlay. Also try 5 times to umount the overlay in case it is still busy.
2020-03-05	installer: Honor /tmp/installer-system-init-options.	Ludovic Courtès
	* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Honor "/tmp/installer-system-init-options".
2020-03-05	installer: Run commands without hopping through the shell.	Ludovic Courtès
	* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-shell-command): Rename to... (run-command): Remove call to 'call-with-temporary-output-file' and hop through Bash. Expect COMMAND to be a list of strings rather than a string. * gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Turn INSTALL-COMMAND into a list of strings and pass it to 'run-command'. * gnu/installer/newt/page.scm (edit-file): Likewise.
2020-02-12	installer: Remove the cow-store overlay after system installation.	Mathieu Othacehe
	Fixes <https://issues.guix.info/issue/39217>. Fixes <https://issues.guix.info/issue/38447>. * gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): New procedure ..., (install-system): ... used here, to remove the store overlay so that the target device is not seen as busy during further umount calls.
2019-12-29	installer: Pass '--fallback' to 'guix system init'.	Ludovic Courtès
	Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/38608>. Reported by Nathan Dehnel <ncdehnel@gmail.com>. * gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Pass '--fallback' to 'guix system init'.
2019-04-28	installer: User accounts can now have a "real name."	Ludovic Courtès
	* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm (run-user-add-page): Add #:real-name. Add a label and entry for the real name and initialize the 'real-name' field of the <user> record. * gnu/installer/final.scm (create-user-database): Set the 'comment' field of the <user-account> record.
2019-04-26	installer: Take 'guix system init' exit code into account.	Ludovic Courtès
	This allows the installer to distinguish success from failure, and also ensures the shell that runs 'guix system init' exits upon completion. * gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-shell-command)[pause]: New procedure. Add "exec" before COMMAND in the script. Guard 'invoke' call and handle 'invoke-error?'. Add call to 'pause' on completion. * gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Remove 'false-if-exception'.
2019-04-25	installer: Ask for the root account password.	Ludovic Courtès

2019-04-25	installer: Ask for user password and initialize /etc/shadow.	Ludovic Courtès
	Partly fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/35399>. * gnu/installer/user.scm (<user>)[password]: New field. * gnu/installer/final.scm (%seed): New variable. (integer->alphanumeric-char, random-string) (create-user-database): New procedures.

(run-final-page): Obtain locale from RESULT; pass it to 'run-install-shell'. * gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Add 'locale' parameter; pass it to 'run-shell-command'.
