It is now up to the caller to deduplicate store contents.
* guix/store/database.scm (register-items): Remove #:deduplicate?
parameter and call to 'deduplicate'.
(register-path): Call 'deduplicate' when #:deduplicate? is true.
* gnu/build/image.scm (register-closure): Adjust call accordingly.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (register-closure): Likewise.
* guix/nar.scm (finalize-store-file): Likewise.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (store-database): Likewise.
Until now deduplication was performed as an additional pass after
copying files, which involve re-traversing all the files that had just
been copied.
* guix/store/deduplication.scm (copy-file/deduplicate): New procedure.
* tests/store-deduplication.scm ("copy-file/deduplicate"): New test.
* guix/build/store-copy.scm (populate-store): Add #:deduplicate?
parameter and honor it.
* tests/gexp.scm ("gexp->derivation, store copy"): Pass #:deduplicate? #f
to 'populate-store'.
* gnu/build/image.scm (initialize-root-partition): Pass #:deduplicate?
to 'populate-store'. Pass #:deduplicate? #f to 'register-closure'.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (root-partition-initializer): Likewise.
* gnu/build/install.scm (populate-single-profile-directory): Pass
#:deduplicate? #f to 'populate-store'.
* gnu/build/linux-initrd.scm (build-initrd): Likewise.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (self-contained-tarball)[import-module?]: New
procedure.
[build]: Pass it as an argument to 'source-module-closure'.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (squashfs-image)[build]: Wrap in
'with-extensions'.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd)[import-module?]: New
procedure.
[builder]: Pass it to 'source-module-closure'.
* gnu/system/install.scm (cow-store-service-type)[import-module?]: New
procedure. Pass it to 'source-module-closure'.
The assumption now is that the caller took care of resetting timestamps
and permissions.
* guix/store/database.scm (register-items): Remove #:reset-timestamps?
parameter and the call to 'reset-timestamps'.
(register-path): Adjust accordingly and add call to 'reset-timestamps'.
* gnu/build/image.scm (register-closure): Remove #:reset-timestamps?
parameter to 'register-items'.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (register-closure): Likewise.
* guix/nar.scm (finalize-store-file): Adjust accordingly.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (store-database)[build]: Likewise.
Until now, 'populate-store' would reset permissions but not timestamps,
so callers would resort to going through an extra directory traversal to
reset timestamps.
* guix/build/store-copy.scm (reset-permissions): Remove.
(copy-recursively): New procedure.
(populate-store): Pass #:keep-permissions? to 'copy-recursively'.
Remove call to 'reset-permissions'.
* tests/gexp.scm ("gexp->derivation, store copy"): In BUILD-DRV, check
whether 'populate-store' canonicalizes permissions and timestamps.
* gnu/build/image.scm (initialize-root-partition): Pass #:reset-timestamps? #f
to 'register-closure'.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (root-partition-initializer): Likewise.
* gnu/build/image.scm (make-partition-image): Use 'raise' instead of
'format' when TYPE is not supported.
(convert-disk-image): Remove unneeded 'begin'.
* gnu/build/image.scm (convert-disk-image): New procedure.
(genimage): Remove target argument.
* gnu/system/image.scm (system-disk-image): Add support for 'compressed-qcow2
image format. Call "convert-disk-image" to apply image conversions on the
final image. Add "qemu-minimal" to the build inputs.
(system-image): Also add support for 'compressed-qcow2.
This fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/42151>.
* gnu/system/images/hurd.scm (hurd-initialize-root-partition): Use #:wal-mode #f
in call to ...
* gnu/build/image.scm (initialize-root-partition): ... this, add #:wal-mode?
parameter, pass it to ...
(register-closure): ... this, add #:wal-mode? parameter, pass it to ...
* guix/store/database.scm (with-database): ... this, add #:wal-mode?
parameter, pass it to ...
(call-with-database): ... this, add #:wal-mode? parameter; when
set to #f, do not set journal_model=WAL.
The "image-root" derivation output is used as a temporary directory that is
passed to mke2fs and mkdosfs later on. By merging the creation of this
directory and the production of partition images, we can get rid of the
derivation.
As mke2fs and mkdosfs are not able to override file permissions, call those
commands with fakeroot. This way, all the image files will be owned by root,
even if image generation is done in an unprivilegded context.
* gnu/system/image.scm (system-disk-image): Merge "image-root" and
"iso9660-image" derivations so that we spare an extra derivation. Also add
"fakeroot" and its runtime dependencies to the inputs.
* gnu/build/image.scm (make-ext-image, make-vfat-image): Make sure that mke2fs
and mkdosfs are respectively called by fakeroot.
Calling "mknod" without root permissions fails. Plus those device nodes do not
appear to be needed to boot.
* gnu/build/image.scm (initialize-root-partition): Do not use
make-essential-device-nodes as default make-device-nodes procedure.
* gnu/build/image.scm (initialize-root-partition): Add bootloader-package and
bootloader-installer arguments. Run the bootloader-installer if defined.
* gnu/system/image.scm (system-disk-image): Adapt the partition initializer
call accordingly.
* gnu/build/image.scm (make-ext4-image): Rename to ...
(make-ext-image): ... it, and pass the file-system type to mke2fs,
(make-partition-image): Adapt to call "make-ext-image" if the partition
file-system is prefixed by "ext".
Raw disk-images and ISO9660 images are created in a Qemu virtual machine. This
is quite fragile, very slow, and almost unusable without KVM.
For all these reasons, add support for host image generation. This implies the
use new image generation mechanisms.
- Raw disk images: images of partitions are created using tools such as mke2fs
and mkdosfs depending on the partition file-system type. The partition
images are then assembled into a final image using genimage.
- ISO9660 images: the ISO root directory is populated within the store. GNU
xorriso is then called on that directory, in the exact same way as this is
done in (gnu build vm) module.
Those mechanisms are built upon the new (gnu image) module.
* gnu/image.scm: New file.
* gnu/system/image.scm: New file.
* gnu/build/image: New file.
* gnu/local.mk: Add them.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image): Rename to system-disk-image-in-vm.
* gnu/ci.scm (qemu-jobs): Adapt to new API.
* gnu/tests/install.scm (run-install): Ditto.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Ditto.
