2014-11-06vm: Factorize common QEMU options.Ludovic Courtès
* gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): New procedure. (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Use it.
2014-11-06vm: Remove unused procedure.Ludovic Courtès
* gnu/system/vm.scm (input->name+output): Remove. Its last user disappeared in commit b53833b.
2014-11-05vm: Disable swap devices in virtualized OSes.Ludovic Courtès
* gnu/system/vm.scm (virtualized-operating-system): Add 'swap-devices' field.
2014-09-22linux-initrd: Adjust VM code and doc to new 'base-initrd' signature.Ludovic Courtès
This fixes regressions introduced in de1c158 ("system: Add support for boot-time mapped devices."). * doc/guix.texi (Initial RAM Disk): Adjust example with custom use of 'base-initrd'. Document #:mapped-devices parameter of 'base-initrd'. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image, system-qemu-image, virtualized-operating-system): Adjust call to 'base-initrd' to new signature.

* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd): Remove calls to 'imported-modules' and 'compiled-modules'. Use 'gexp->script' with EXP. Add the result to TO-COPY.
