Signed-off-by: Mathieu Othacehe <othacehe@gnu.org> Josselin Poiret 2022-01-14installer: Do not set the locale in run-command....Installing the locale inside the container, once the cow-store is mounted, causes the process to keep opened locale files that can later prevent the cow-store umount. * gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-command): Remove locale argument. * gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Adapt it.

Mathieu Othacehe 2020-11-17installer: Fix device synchronization....Reported by Florian Pelz: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-11/msg00326.html. * gnu/installer/utils.scm (call-with-time): New procedure, (let/time): new macro. * gnu/installer/parted.scm (with-delay-device-in-use?): Increase the retry count to 16. (non-install-devices): Remove the call to with-delay-device-in-use? as it doesn't return the expected result, and would block much longer now. (free-parted): Log the time required to sync each device. Mathieu Othacehe 2020-06-09Revert "installer: utils: Dump command output to syslog when testing."...This reverts commit f73ed5579157a074093bae7a2ffb59a85412be0d. This was pushed by error, as this is not reviewed yet. Mathieu Othacehe 2020-06-09installer: utils: Dump command output to syslog when testing....When debugging the installation tests, it can be very handy to be able to read "run-command" output, for instance when executing "guix system init". Introduce a new "invoke-with-log" procedure that is able to log a command standard and error outputs to the syslog. Use it, only when running the installation tests, to dump "run-command" output. * gnu/installer/utils.scm (open-pipe-with-stderr, invoke-with-log): New procedures, (invoke-log-port): new variable, (run-command): move to the end of the file and use invoke-with-log when running the installation tests. Mathieu Othacehe 2020-04-10gnu: installer: Fix issue with "Esperanto" locale....According to glibc manual, locale are under the following form: language[_territory[.codeset]][@modifier] The esperanto locale "epo" does not have a territory. Modify run-command to take this into account. Reported by Alex Sassmannshausen here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-04/msg00192.html. * gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-command): Handle locale without territory such as "epo".
