2024-11-11 | installer: Add dry-run?...This allows running the installer without root privileges. Do something like
./pre-inst-env guix repl
,use (guix)
,use (gnu installer)
(installer-program #:dry-run? #t)
,build $1
=>
"/gnu/store/...-installer-program"
and run
/gnu/store/...-installer-program
* gnu/installer/newt.scm (locale-page): Add #:dry-run? parameter.
(keymap-page): Likewise.
* gnu/installer/newt/keymap.scm (run-keymap-page): Likewise.
* gnu/installer/steps.scm (run-installer-steps): Likewise. Use it to skip
writing to socket.

(run-final-page-install): ...this.
(dry-run-final-page, run-final-page): New procedures.

partitions.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (dry-run-command): New procedure.
* gnu/installer.scm (compute-locale-step): Add #:dry-run? parameter. Use it
to avoid actually applying locale.
(compute-keymap-step): Add dry-run? parameter. Pass it to

skip network, substitutes, partitioning pages, and pass it to...
compute-locale-step, compute-keymap-step, and final-page.
