x system. * tests/guix-system.sh: Invoke guix system build with '--system=aarch64-linux' to build the Raspberry Pi systems. Maxim Cournoyer 2022-10-07tests: Attempt to build 'desktop.tmpl' on all major architectures....Partly fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58352>. * tests/guix-system.sh: Try to build 'desktop.tmpl' for x86_64, i686, and aarch64. Ludovic Courtès 2022-09-04guix system: Do not use 'vm-image.tmpl' in tests....This is a followup to 95a03aa5c507d48e2cde19ea007b8f90a4e0108a. Since that commit, merely evaluating 'vm-image.tmpl' would trigger the build of 'current-guix' so skip it. * tests/guix-system.sh: Do not try to build 'vm-image.tmpl'. Ludovic Courtès 2022-02-18profiles: 'profile-derivation' rejects unsupported packages....Previously user-facing commands would happily start building packages even if they do not support that system. With this change, all the user-facing commands reject unsupported packages without going further. * guix/profiles.scm (profile-derivation): Add #:allow-unsupported-packages?. Define 'check-supported-packages' and honor #:allow-unsupported-packages?. * tests/guix-pack.sh, tests/guix-package.sh, tests/guix-shell.sh: Ensure that unsupported packages are rejected. * tests/guix-system.sh: Pass "--system=armhf-linux" when attempting to build gnu/system/examples/asus-c201.tmpl. Ludovic Courtès 2021-08-29gnu: bootloader: Support multiple targets....Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/40997>. * gnu/bootloader.scm (<bootloader-configuration>): New 'targets' field. (%bootloader-configuration-target): New procedure. (bootloader-configuration-target): Add deprecation warning. (bootloader-configuration-targets): New procedure. * guix/scripts/system.scm (install): Access targets via bootloader-configuration-targets. (perform-action)[bootloader-target]: Remove unused argument and update doc. Access targets via bootloader-configuration-targets and fix indentation. (process-action): Access targets via bootloader-configuration-targets. Do not provide the unused BOOTLOADER-TARGET argument when applying `perform-action'. * guix/scripts/system/reconfigure.scm (install-bootloader-program): Rename DEVICE argument to DEVICES. Adjust doc and comment. Apply `installer' and `disk-installer' for every DEVICES. (install-bootloader): Access targets via bootloader-configuration-targets and rename variable from DEVICE to DEVICES. * gnu/tests/install.scm: Adjust accordingly. * tests/guix-system.sh: Likewise. * gnu/tests/reconfigure.scm (run-install-bootloader-test): Adjust the DEVICES argument so that it is a list. * doc/guix.texi: Update doc. Maxim Cournoyer 2021-04-29diagnostics, ui: Adjust to 'read-error' and 'syntax-error' in Guile 3.0.6....* guix/diagnostics.scm (source-properties->location): Add clause for vectors. * guix/ui.scm (report-load-error): Tweak 'read-error' handling for 3.0.6. * tests/guix-package.sh: Relax regexp for the "unbound variable" diagnostic check. * tests/guix-system.sh: Adjust "missing closing paren" check for 3.0.6. * tests/records.scm (location-alist): New procedure. ("define-record-type* & wrong field specifier") ("define-record-type* & wrong field specifier, identifier") ("define-record-type* & duplicate initializers"): Use it. Ludovic Courtès 2021-02-17scripts: system: Accept <image> records as input....* guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Replace "os" argument by "image". Remove "image-size", "image-type", "label" and "volatile-root?" arguments. (perform-action): Ditto. (process-action): Construct the <image> record and pass it to "perform-action" procedure. * tests/guix-system.sh: Adapt accordingly. * gnu/system/images/hurd.scm: Return the default image. * gnu/system/images/novena.scm: Ditto. * gnu/system/images/pine64.scm: Ditto. * gnu/system/images/pinebook-pro.scm Ditto. Mathieu Othacehe 2021-02-17scripts: system: Remove 'vm-image' command....Remove the 'vm-image' command that has been superseded by the 'image' command. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image): Remove it. * guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Mark 'vm-image' command as deprecated and use the image API to produce the VM image. (perform-action, show-help): Adapt accordingly. * tests/guix-system.sh: Ditto. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system, Running Guix in a VM): Ditto. * etc/completion/fish/guix.fish: Ditto. * etc/completion/zsh/_guix: Ditto. Mathieu Othacehe 2021-01-30guix system: Test 'extension-graph' and 'shepherd-graph'....* tests/guix-system.sh: Test 'guix system extension-graph' and 'guix system shepherd-graph'. Ludovic Courtès 2021-01-19system: Rename 'disk-image' command 'image'....* guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Rename 'disk-image' command 'image'. Warn when using the now deprecated 'disk-image' command. (show-help): Adapt accordingly. (guix-system): Ditto. * tests/guix-system.sh: Ditto. * gnu/system/examples/bare-hurd.tmpl: Ditto. * doc/guix.texi (Building the Installation Image, Building the Installation Image for ARM Boards, Invoking guix pack, Invoking guix system): Adapt documentation. Mathieu Othacehe 2021-01-13services: shepherd: 'shepherd-service-type' requires documentation....* gnu/services/shepherd.scm (shepherd-service-type): Require a 'description' form. * gnu/services/base.scm (root-file-system-service-type) (rngd-service-type, host-name-service-type): (virtual-terminal-service-type, console-keymap-service-type) (syslog-service-type, swap-service-type) (kmscon-service-type): Add description. * gnu/services/networking.scm (dhcp-client-service-type): Likewise. * gnu/system/install.scm (cow-store-service-type): Likewise. * gnu/system/linux-container.scm (dummy-networking-service-type): Likewise. * gnu/system/mapped-devices.scm (device-mapping-service-type): Likewise. * tests/guix-system.sh: Likewise. Ludovic Courtès 2020-11-06tests: Test "guix system search ."....This is a followup to 0c5d0c57d370b34f3ba677838deaa8baf7bca58a. * tests/guix-system.sh: Run "guix system search .". Ludovic Courtès
