* gnu/services/base.scm (<static-networking>)[interface, ip, netmask]
[gateway]: Remove.
[addresses, links, routes]: New fields.
[requirement]: Default to '(udev).
(<network-address>, <network-link>, <network-route>): New record types.
(ensure-no-separate-netmask, %ensure-no-separate-netmask): Remove.
(ipv6-address?, cidr->netmask, ip+netmask->cidr)
(network-set-up/hurd, network-tear-down/hurd)
(network-set-up/linux, network-tear-down/linux)
(static-networking->hurd-pfinet-options): New procedures.
(static-networking-shepherd-service): New procedure.
(static-networking-shepherd-services): Rewrite in terms of the above.
(static-networking-service): Deprecate. Adjust to new
'static-networking' API.
(%base-services): Likewise.
* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services): Likewise.
* gnu/system/hurd.scm (%base-services/hurd): Likewise, and separate
'loopback' from 'networking'.
* gnu/build/hurd-boot.scm (set-hurd-device-translators): Remove
"servers/socket/2".
* gnu/tests/networking.scm (run-openvswitch-test)["networking has
started on ovs0"]: Check for 'networking instead of 'networking-ovs0,
which is no longer provided.
* doc/guix.texi (Networking Setup): Document the new interface. Remove
documentation of 'static-networking-service'.
(Virtualization Services): Change Ganeti example to use the new
interface.
Note: Using `getxattr' on the Hurd instead of running showtrans does not
work (yet?).
* gnu/build/hurd-boot.scm (setup-translator): Use 'setxattr' instead of
invoking settrans.
* gnu/system.scm (hurd-multiboot-modules): Add --x-xattr-translator-records to
enable xattr-embedding of translators.
* gnu/build/hurd-boot.scm (make-hurd-device-nodes): Do not create
dev/{null,zero,full,random,urandom} mount points.
(passive-translator-xattr?, passive-translator-installed?, translated?,
set-translator, set-hurd-device-translators): New procedures.
(false-if-EEXIST): New macro.
(boot-hurd-system): Use them instead of running MAKEDEV.
This decouples startup of the Hurd from the "hurd" package, moving the RC
script into SYSTEM.
* gnu/packages/hurd.scm (hurd)[inputs]: Remove hurd-rc-script.
[arguments]: Do not substitute it. Update "runsystem.sh" to parse kernel
arguments and exec into --system=SYSTEM/rc.
(hurd-rc-script): Move to...
* gnu/services.scm (%hurd-rc-file): ...this new variable.
(hurd-rc-entry): New procedure.
(%hurd-startup-service): Use it in new variable.
