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
Ubuntu 22.04 install the mouse cursor was broken (after I installed Guix)
until I set this.
* etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_init_profile): Set default value for
XCURSOR_PATH.

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.

Don't clobber /dev/null permissions if units are masked.
* etc/guix-install.sh (sys_enable_guix_daemon): Factor out unit
installation. Unconditionally remove any old units. Install and enable
gnu-store.mount after guix-daemon.service.
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.
* etc/guix-install.sh: Document environment variables.
(sys_create_store) [GUIX_ALLOW_OVERWRITE]: Skip pre-existing installation
checks and output a warning. Extract the tarball directly to /.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58858>.
* etc/guix-install.sh (main): Use 6 'X' characters in the template, as this is
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
XDG_DATA_DIRS export.

* 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
Press return to continue...[1666352494.051]: Starting installation…
[1666352648.869]: …
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 "$HOME/.guix-home/profile" exists, use it for GUIX_PROFILE instead of
"$HOME/.guix-profile".
* etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_init_profile): Check for 'guix home'
profile.

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.

Also ensure prompt_yes_no always print the message with a trailing space,
which is more pleasing to the eye.

should be enabled. Set the '--discover' argument accordingly.
(prompt_yes_no): Add a trailing space to the message.
(sys_authorize_build_farms): Remove trailing space from the message argument.
* NEWS (Distribution): Add news.
If GUIX_PROFILE is exported here, any subsequent
"source /some/other/profile/etc/profile" will set variables pointing to
"$HOME/.guix-profile" instead of pointing to the sourced profile.
* etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_init_profile): No longer export GUIX_PROFILE.
* etc/guix-install.sh <FUNCNAME>: Explicitly refer to the first item of the
FUNCNAME array.
(ROOT_HOME): Replace variable by ~root directly; manually expanding it via
echo was not necessary.
(chk_gpg_keyring): Use an if branch for the exit to avoid a warning about
expression precedence.
(chk_term) <ansi_term>: Remove unused variable.
(guix_get_bin) <wget, gpg>: Test the commands directly. Use an array for the
wget arguments, which can then be properly expanded.
(sys_create_store): Disable SC1090 for the source command, as we don't care
about following the sourced script.
<_msg>: Reuse the GUIX_PROFILE variable in the message.
(sys_create_build_user) <getent>: Test the command directly.
The forthcoming 1.3.0 release will be signed with my personal GnuPG key; the
installation script need to tell users how fetch it.
* etc/guix-install.sh (OPENPGP_SIGNING_KEY_ID): Remove variable.
(GPG_SIGNING_KEYS): New associative array.
(chk_gpg_keyring): Process all the keys contained in the above array.
(main) <GUIX_BINARY_FILE_NAME>: Double quote variable.
This is necessary as the directory context is changed in the script, breaking
the use of a relative path.
* etc/guix-install.sh (main) <GUIX_BINARY_FILE_NAME>: Resolve its absolute
path via the 'realpath' command.
This is useful for example for testing release candidates not yet uploaded to
the FTP, or for testing manually downloaded images from the CI.
* etc/guix-install.sh (main)[GUIX_BINARY_FILE_NAME]: When this variable is
defined, use it as the file name of a Guix binary, instead of automatically
retrieving the latest archive from the FTP.

* etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_build_user): If a 'kvm' group exists,
add it to the guixbuilders' lists of supplementary groups.
This makes powerpc64le-linux a supported architecture for Guix, but not for
Guix System.
* Makefile.am (SUPPORTED_SYSTEMS): Add an entry for powerpc64le-linux.
* etc/guix-install.sh (chk_sys_arch): Same.
* guix/packages.scm (%supported-systems): Same.
* m4/guix.m4 (GUIX_ASSERT_SUPPORTED_SYSTEM): Same.
* tests/guix-build.sh (all_systems): Same.
* etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_init_profile): Set PATH and INFOPATH
even when $_GUIX_PROFILE does not exist.
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.
