Somehow, as of Linux 4.0.2, the interfaces are down by default, which
prevents 'dhclient' from actually using them.
* gnu/services/networking.scm (dhcp-client-service): Call
'set-network-interface-up' on each item of IFACES.
* gnu/services/avahi.scm (avahi-service): Change 'shell' to a gexp
referring to "nologin" in the SHADOW package.
* gnu/services/dbus.scm (dbus-service): Likewise.
* gnu/services/networking.scm (ntp-service, tor-service): Likewise.
Reported by DusXMT on #guix.
* gnu/services/networking.scm (static-networking-service): Add
'requirement' field. Change 'documentation' to be a string literal.
* gnu/services/networking.scm (tor-service): New procedure.
* doc/guix.texi (Networking Services): Document it.
* build-aux/hydra/demo-os.scm: Use it. Add TOR and TORSOCKS to
'packages'.
* gnu/services/networking.scm (static-networking-service): Use -i, -A,
and --up with Inetutils' ifconfig. Do 'route del -net default' only
when GATEWAY is true.
* gnu/services/networking.scm (static-networking-service): Add
#:provision parameter; use it.
* gnu/services/base.scm (%base-services): Call
'static-networking-service' for "lo".
* gnu/services.scm (<service>)[inputs]: Remove.
* gnu/system.scm (links): Remove.
(etc-directory): Add PASSWD and SHADOW to #:inputs.
(operating-system-boot-script): Pass ETC to 'dmd-configuration-file'.
(operating-system-derivation): Remove EXTRAS from the union.
* gnu/system/linux.scm (pam-service->configuration): Rewrite in terms of
'gexp->derivation'. Compute the contents on the build side. Expect
'arguments' to contain a list of gexps.
(pam-services->directory): Rewrite in terms of 'gexp->derivation'.
(unix-pam-service): Change 'arguments' to a list of one gexp.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (<user-account>)[inputs]: Remove.
[shell]: Change default value to a gexp.
(passwd-file): Rewrite in terms of 'gexp->derivation'. Compute
contents on the build side.
* gnu/services/base.scm (host-name-service, mingetty-service,
nscd-service, syslog-service, guix-service): Change 'start' and 'stop'
to gexps; remove 'inputs' field.
(guix-build-accounts): Change 'shell' field to a gexp.
* gnu/services/networking.scm (static-networking-service): Change
'start' and 'stop' to gexps; remove 'inputs' field.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (slim-service): Likewise.
* gnu/services/dmd.scm (dmd-configuration-file): Expect ETC to be a
derivation. Change 'config' to a gexp. Use 'gexp->file' instead of
