2020-09-10installer: final: Introduce call-with-mnt-container....* gnu/installer/final.scm (call-with-mnt-container): New procedure, (install-system): use it instead of call-with-container, to make sure that the container is not jailed. Mathieu Othacehe
2020-09-02installer: Run the installation inside a container....When the store overlay is mounted, other processes such as kmscon, udev and guix-daemon may open files from the store, preventing the underlying install support from being umounted. See: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-12/msg00161.html. To avoid this situation, mount the store overlay inside a container, and run the installation from within that container. * gnu/build/shepherd.scm (fork+exec-command/container): New procedure. * gnu/services/base.scm (guix-shepherd-service): Support an optional PID argument passed to the "start" method. If that argument is passed, ensure that guix-daemon enters the given PID MNT namespace by using fork+exec-command/container procedure. * gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): Remove it, (install-system): run the installation from within a container. * gnu/installer/newt/final.scm (run-install-shell): Remove the display hack. Mathieu Othacehe
2020-06-16installer: final: Remove restart-service procedure....* gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): Remove "restart-service" that is now provided by (gnu services herd). Mathieu Othacehe
2020-06-13install: final: Add some logging....* gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): Add some logging. Mathieu Othacehe
2020-06-09installer: final: Dump "guix system init" command output when testing....When debugging the installation tests, it can be very handy to be able to read "guix system init" command output. * gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Dump installation command output to the console when running the installation tests. Mathieu Othacehe
2020-06-09installer: final: Remove left-over pk call....* gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): Remove pk call. Mathieu Othacehe
2020-06-05installer: final: Add some extra logging....* gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): Log the killed process name, (umount-cow-store): inform that we are umounting the cow-store. Mathieu Othacehe
2020-03-23installer: Fix cow-store umount issue....* gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): Ignore exception that could be raised if a process disappears between reading its pid and its maps file. Mathieu Othacehe
2020-03-05installer: Fix cow-store umount....This fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/39712>. The guix-daemon was preventing the cow-store umount, so restart it. Some udevd workers, using cow-store files might also still be around, so have some umount retries. * gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): New procedure, (umount-cow-store): restart guix-daemon and kill all processes started from within the cow-store before trying to umount the store overlay. Also try 5 times to umount the overlay in case it is still busy. Mathieu Othacehe

2020-03-05installer: Run commands without hopping through the shell....* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-shell-command): Rename to... (run-command): Remove call to 'call-with-temporary-output-file' and hop through Bash. Expect COMMAND to be a list of strings rather than a string. * gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Turn INSTALL-COMMAND into a list of strings and pass it to 'run-command'. * gnu/installer/newt/page.scm (edit-file): Likewise. Ludovic Courtès
2020-02-12installer: Remove the cow-store overlay after system installation....Fixes <https://issues.guix.info/issue/39217>. Fixes <https://issues.guix.info/issue/38447>. * gnu/installer/final.scm (umount-cow-store): New procedure ..., (install-system): ... used here, to remove the store overlay so that the target device is not seen as busy during further umount calls.

Ludovic Courtès
2019-04-26installer: Take 'guix system init' exit code into account....This allows the installer to distinguish success from failure, and also ensures the shell that runs 'guix system init' exits upon completion. * gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-shell-command)[pause]: New procedure. Add "exec" before COMMAND in the script. Guard 'invoke' call and handle 'invoke-error?'. Add call to 'pause' on completion. * gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Remove 'false-if-exception'. Ludovic Courtès
