2022-01-14 | installer: Install the locale before mounting the cow-store....Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52831>.
Make sure to install the en_US.utf8 fallback locale if the selected locale is
not supported.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-locale): New procedure.
(install-system): Call it.
| Mathieu Othacehe |
2022-01-14 | installer: Do not set the locale in run-command....Installing the locale inside the container, once the cow-store is mounted,
causes the process to keep opened locale files that can later prevent the
cow-store umount.
* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-command): Remove locale argument.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Adapt it.

2022-01-14 | installer: Remove an unused procedure....* gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): Remove it.
| Mathieu Othacehe |
2020-09-10 | installer: 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 |
2020-09-02 | installer: 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.

2020-06-16 | installer: 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 |
2020-06-09 | installer: 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.

2020-06-05 | installer: final: Add some extra logging....* gnu/installer/final.scm (kill-cow-users): Log the killed process name,

| Mathieu Othacehe |
2020-03-23 | installer: 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 |
2020-03-05 | installer: 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.

"/tmp/installer-system-init-options".

2020-03-05 | installer: 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 |

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.

2019-04-26 | installer: 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.

Add "exec" before COMMAND in the script. Guard 'invoke' call and handle
'invoke-error?'. Add call to 'pause' on completion.
