2023-10-14pack: Allow setting a custom image tag for Docker images...Previously, the image repository name was automatically computed from the packages in the manifest without allowing the user to set a custom one. As such, changing the packages in the manifest would result in a new image name. Thereby requiring updating documentation et cetera when using `docker load` directory on the resulting image. Inspired by `docker build -t`, this commit adds a new Docker-specific option to `guix pack` which allows setting a custom repository name for the resulting image. If this option is not specified, pack falls back to computing the name from the manifest. Therefore, this change is entirely backwards compatible. * guix/scripts/pack.scm (guix-pack): Add --image-tag option. (%docker-format-options): New constant. (show-docker-format-options): New procedure. (show-docker-format-options/detailed): New procedure. (docker-image): Allow setting a custom repository name for the created docker image via extra-options. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix pack)[docker]: Document --image-tag option.

2023-09-20image: Introduce the mbr-hybrid-raw image type....Until 209204e23b39af09e0ea92540b6fa00a60e6a0ae and d57cab764122af69d52d8cc9c843456044e5d7bc, the default image type used by "guix system image" was an MBR image with an ESP partition. Having both an MBR image and an ESP partition is handy because the image will boot on most x86 based systems using legacy BIOS and/or UEFI. We now have a distinction between MBR images and EFI images. Introduce a new MBR hybrid image type and default to it to restore the default behaviour. This also fixes the images section of (gnu ci) that was trying to install a BIOS bootloader on an EFI, GPT image and failing to do so.
