This improves the installer's ability to detect that all requirements are
present regardless of init system. It also avoids performing the requirement
check twice (printing excessively to the console) and provides a framework for
adding new init system specific requirements if it's needed in the future.
* etc/guix-install.sh (add_init_sys_require): Create.
(SYSV_INIT_REQUIRE): Create.
(main_install): Reorder installer steps so all requirements are checked in one

On my virtual private servers running Alpine, the install script failed to
identify the init system. The virtual server is LXC based, and OpenRC
identifies itself like this:
# openrc --version
openrc (OpenRC [LXC]) 0.52.1
The regular expression failed to match it. After relaxing the check (by
removing the trailing `)' requirement) the installation went fine and I got
functional Guix installation.
* etc/guix-install.sh (chk_init_sys): Drop trailing \) from the regular
expression.

After installing Guix home on my new foreign system, the locale did not
work and GDM did not even let me to log in. After some digging around using
tty3 and tty4, I realized the GUIX_LOCPATH is not being set properly.
I had nothing installed in the ~/.guix-profile (the symlink did not even
exist) and I had glibc-locales installed in ~/.guix-home, yet GUIX_LOCPATH
contained "$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale:".
I believe when the code was modified from the original "home or profile" to
the current "home and profile" the || was used by accident instead of &&.
I also remove the trailing :, since it is taken care of by the ${...:+:}.

This improves compatibility with (at least) Gnome based systems. On my new

The aim here is to improve the user experience. There's anecdotal evidence
that the network performance for bordeaux is better compared to ci at least
for some users, and I don't know of any issues with rate limiting or access
restriction for bordeaux compared to ci. It also has IPv6 support.
Additionally, bordeaux generally had more substitutes than ci, particularly
for aarch64-linux and armhf-linux. This change will offer a very slight
speedup for those substitutes that only bordeaux has.
Bordeaux has been a default substitute server for nearly 3 years now and I
think this change is overdue. I'm also hopeful that we'll be able to build on
the testing regarding mirrors for bordeaux, and that'll allow potentially
improving the hosting setup (through providing more redundancy) and further
improving substitute fetching for users who currently have issues with
substitute access.

Before this change, the "Overwriting existing installation!" would be
displayed erroneously.
* etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_store): Fix overwrite conditional.
The need for this use case appeared when attempting to install Guix on a truly
minimal image made with Buildroot, which lacked enough GNU components that I
had to extract a guix pack to /gnu before attempting installation, which would
then refuse to proceed because of the existing /gnu.

checks and output a warning. Extract the tarball directly to /.

the minimum required by Busybox's mktemp (which matches glibc's mktemp
behavior).

This started out as a bug-fix for a GUI login loop that was resulting from XDG_DATA_DIRS
not including any of the host distro's directories. The solution was to export the vari-
able (with fail-safe defaults) before source-ing GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile. It turns out
changes have already been made to ensure that XDG_DATA_DIRS, etc. are always exported
before anything guix-specific. So, this export is no longer necessary.
For reference, the aforementioned bug was found on a Debian 11 machine and it's guix.sh
init profile for guix version 1.2.
* etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_init_profile): Remove unnecessary

* etc/guix-install.sh: Rename /etc/profile.d/guix.sh to zzz-guix.sh.
This script refers to environment variables set by the host distribution.
They may be set in other scripts in /etc/profile.d, which must therefore
be run first.
Example: in Ubuntu 20.04, XDG_DATA_DIRS is set in
/etc/profile.d/xdg_dirs_desktop_session.sh

Avoid printing

when the return itself wasn't echoed on the console.
* etc/guix-install.sh (welcome): Add a carriage return to the prompt,
so that the next line of output may overwrite it.
This doesn't affect the installation (yet), but reserves the right to
default to safe values other than ‘y’ in future.
* etc/guix-install.sh (welcome): Warn if the ‘return’ wasn't.
Commit 6a2e303d3a had modified prompt_yes_no to only read a single character,
aiming to ease the user experience. This was, in retrospect, a bad idea, as
it makes user input error more likely and introduces complexity.
This commit reverts to line-oriented input, while preserving the default yes
value so that a user can simply hit 'Enter' at the prompt in place of typing
"yes".
* etc/guix-install.sh (_flush): Delete function.
(prompt_yes_no): Restore line-oriented read. Remove loop. Make anything else
than yes means no. Use Bash features to streamline definition.
Reported-by: Lars-Dominik Braun <lars@6xq.net> and others.
* etc/guix-install.sh (_flush): New function.
(prompt_yes_no): Clear input, then only read the first character, silently.
Add the [Yes/no] string to the message. When a newline is entered by the
user, treat it as the default value, which is "yes".
(chk_gpg_keyring): Remove "(yes/no)" from the prompt message.
(configure_substitute_discovery): Likewise.
(sys_authorize_build_farms): Likewise.
If "$HOME/.guix-home/profile" exists, use it for GUIX_PROFILE instead of

The default values from the XDG base directory specification make little
sense for Guix System, and some scripts in Guix assume that they are not
"empty or unset": for example, see <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/56050>.
On foreign distros, however, omitting the default values is likely to
break software from the distro, perhaps even preventing the desktop
environment from starting. To smooth over the difference, use the
system-wide configuration to ensure the environment variables are always
explicitly set on foreign distros.
* etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_init_profile): Explicitly initialize
XDG base directory variables.

After initial installation on a foreign distro, the guix pull profile
won't be present in path. This means that the first guix pull won't take
effect until the shell is restarted.
~/.guix-profile cannot be pre-loaded like this as the relevant paths are
stored in ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile, which simply won't exist.
However, guix package will output a relevant hint that instructs the
user to reload the profile, so this isn't a problem.
