(operating-system-directory-base-entries): Remove #:container? keyword
and keep only the not-container branch.
(essential-services): Likewise.

'operating-system-essential-services' instead of 'essential-services'.

* doc/guix.texi (operating-system Reference): Document 'essential-services'.
Partially fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/34276>.
Reported by Tobias Geerinckx-Rice <me@tobias.gr>.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm)[loader]: Call
'exit' when USER-BUILDER exits with a non-zero code.
* gnu/system/accounts.scm (sexp->user-group, sexp->user-account): New
procedures.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (account-activation): Call them in the arguments
to 'activate-users+groups'.
(account-shepherd-service): Likewise.
* gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-users+groups): Expect a list of
<user-account> and a list of <user-group>. Replace uses of 'match' on
tuples with calls to record accessors.
(activate-user-home): Likewise.
The (gnu system accounts) module is meant to be used both on the build-
and on the host-side.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm <top level>: Call 'default-shell'.
(<user-account>, <user-group>): Move to...
* gnu/system/accounts.scm: ... here. New file.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add system/accounts.scm.
In practice the error was not triggered because
'package-transitive-propagated-inputs' currently returns the empty list
for these two packages.
* guix/scripts/pack.scm (gcrypt-sqlite3&co): Remove labels from the
result.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (gcrypt-sqlite3&co): Likewise.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl (services): Do it.
* gnu/system/examples/beaglebone.tmpl (packages): Do it.
(services): Do it.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl (packages): Do it.
(services): Do it.
* gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl (file-systems): Do it.
(packages): Do it.
* gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl (packages): Do it.
* gnu/installer.scm: Rename to ...
* gnu/installer/record.scm: ... this.
* gnu/installer/build-installer.scm: Move everything to the build side and
rename to gnu/installer.scm.
* gnu/installer/newt.scm: Remove all the gexps and add depencies to newt
modules as this code will only be used on the build side by now.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Adapt it,
(dist_installer_DATA): New rule to install installer's aux-files.
* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services): Use only
'installer-program' from (gnu installer). The installer is now choosen on the
build side.
* guix/self.scm (*system-modules*): Restore previous behaviour and add all
installer files to #:extra-files field of the scheme-node.
* po/guix/POTFILES.in: Adapt it.
Source /etc/environment just before starting the installer. The login program
is supposed to load the environment variables of this file through PAM, but as
we replace it by the installer, they are no longer available. This is mostly
useful for the LANG environment variable.
* gnu/installer/build-installer.scm (installer-program-launcher): New exported
procedure.
* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services): Restore most of the origin
code. kmscon is only started on TTY1, and the graphical installer is the
login-program.
* configure.ac: Require that guile-newt is available.
* gnu/installer.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/aux-files/logo.txt: New file.
* gnu/installer/build-installer.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/connman.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/keymap.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/locale.scm: New file.

* gnu/installer/newt/ethernet.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/hostname.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/keymap.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/locale.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/menu.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/network.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/page.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/timezone.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/user.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/utils.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/welcome.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/newt/wifi.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/steps.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/timezone.scm: New file.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add previous files.
* gnu/system.scm: Export %root-account.
* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-services): Use kmscon instead of linux
VT for all tty.
(installation-os)[users]: Add the graphical installer as shell of the root
account.
[packages]: Add font related packages.
* po/guix/POTFILES.in: Add installer files.
These procedures were already either undocumented (and de facto
deprecated) or documented as deprecated or redundant.
* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-service, guix-publish-service): Mark as
deprecated.
* gnu/services/mcron.scm (mcron-service): Likewise.
* gnu/services/networking.scm (tor-service): Likewise.
* doc/guix.texi (Scheduled Job Execution): Remove 'mcron-service' and
adjust example.
(Networking Services): Remove 'tor-service'.
* gnu/tests/base.scm (%mcron-os): Use 'mcron-service-type' instead of
'mcron-service'.
* gnu/tests/networking.scm (%tor-os): Use 'tor-service-type' instead of
'tor-service'.
* tests/guix-system.sh: Likewise.
This ensures one can scp to or from the GuixSD machine that uses the
service.
* gnu/services/ssh.scm (openssh-service-type)[extensions]: Add
PROFILE-SERVICE-TYPE extension.
* gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl <packages>: Remove OPENSSH.
* doc/guix.texi (Using the Configuration System): Adjust accordingly.
Previously 'expression->initrd' would return the directory that contains
the 'initrd' file; now it returns the complete file name for that file.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd)[builder]: Change
output file name to "initrd.cpio.gz". Tail-call 'file-append' to return
the complete file name.
* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-initrd-file): Remove 'file-append'
call.
* gnu/build/linux-initrd.scm (write-cpio-archive): Check whether OUTPUT
already has the ".gz" suffix; rename if before invoking GZIP if it does,
and otherwise after.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm)[builder]: Do
not append "/initrd" to #$initrd.
This is an incompatible change visible to users via the 'initrd' field
of 'operating-system'. However, assuming the user's 'initrd' value
tail-calls to 'raw-initrd' or 'base-initrd', the switch to non-monadic
style is invisible.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd): Use 'computed-file'
instead of 'gexp->derivation'.
(raw-initrd, base-initrd): Adjust docstring to mention non-monadic
return.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Adjust
accordingly.
* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-directory-base-entries)
(operating-system-initrd-file)
(operating-system-boot-parameters): Adjust accordingly.
* doc/guix.texi (operating-system Reference)
(Initial RAM Disk): Update.
* gnu/system.scm (bootable-kernel-arguments): Remove 'kernel-arguments'
parameter and return only the base list of kernel arguments. Rename
'system.drv' to 'system'.
(operating-system-kernel-arguments): Adjust accordingly and remove
'system.drv' parameter.
(read-boot-parameters-file): Adjust accordingly. Remove 'if params'
since dominating code assumed PARAMS is always true.
(operating-system-boot-parameters): Remove 'system.drv' parameter; add
#:system-kernel-arguments? instead and honor it.
(operating-system-bootcfg): Adjust accordingly.
(operating-system-boot-parameters-file): Likewise.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Remove
'os-drv' variable. Adjust call to 'operating-system-kernel-arguments'.
This significantly improves read throughput when running things like
"guix hash -r ...".
* gnu/system/vm.scm (%linux-vm-file-systems): Add 'flags' for "store".
Add "cache=loose" to every file system.
