| 2019-05-15 | vm: 'system-docker-image' provides an entry point....This simplifies use of images created with 'guix system docker-image'.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-docker-image)[boot-program]: New variable.

| 2019-05-13 | vm: Auto-detect if inputs should be registered....The default value of the argument REGISTER-CLOSURE? of the ISO9660-IMAGE,
QEMU-IMAGE and SYSTEM-DOCKER-IMAGE procedures can be computed automatically,
since the operating-system definition is available in its context. When the
operating-system definition does not contain the GUIX-SERVICE-TYPE, do not
register the closure in the database of Guix, as it takes time and doesn't
serve a purpose.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (has-guix-service-type): Add predicate.
(iso9660-image)[register-closures?]: Use it to compute the argument's default
value.
(qemu-image)[register-closures?]: Likewise, and update docstring.
(system-docker-image)[register-closures?]: Likewise.
(system-disk-image): Do not explicit a value for the REGISTER-CLOSURES?
argument of the ISO9660-IMAGE and QEMU-IMAGE procedure calls, so that its
default value is used instead.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Do not explicit a
value for the REGISTER-CLOSURES? argument of the SYSTEM-DOCKER-IMAGE
procedure call, so that its default value is used instead.

| 2019-05-01 | vm: Build ISOs and VM images in a UTF-8 environment....Fixes a bug whereby building an image containing non-ASCII file names
would fail due to improper decoding of file names.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (iso9660-image, qemu-image): Set GUIX_LOCPATH and
call 'setlocale' in the build environment.
| Ludovic Courtès |
| 2019-04-25 | vm: 'system-disk-image' no longer requires the OS to define the "/" file system....Previously 'guix system disk-image' would fail if the OS didn't define a
"/" file system, even though it actually overrides that file system.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image)[root-uuid]: Turn into a
procedure.
Call 'root-uuid' on a variant of OS with a "/" file system and inherit
from that.
| Ludovic Courtès |
| 2019-04-14 | vm: Do not mount /xchg with "cache=loose"....Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/33639>.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (%linux-vm-file-systems): Remove "cache=loose" for /xchg.
(system-docker-image): Remove 'sync' call, now unneeded, and which was
probably insufficient.
| Ludovic Courtès |

bootloader of OS.

| 2019-02-11 | pack, vm: Fix incorrect use of 'package-transitive-propagated-inputs'....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.

| 2018-11-21 | linux-initrd: 'expression->initrd' returns the complete file name....Previously 'expression->initrd' would return the directory that contains
the 'initrd' file; now it returns the complete file name for that file.

BOOTCFG.
| Ludovic Courtès |
| 2018-11-18 | linux-initrd: Return file-like objects instead of monadic values....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.

instead of 'gexp->derivation'.

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.

#:system-kernel-arguments? instead and honor it.
(operating-system-bootcfg): Adjust accordingly.
(operating-system-boot-parameters-file): Likewise.

'os-drv' variable. Adjust call to 'operating-system-kernel-arguments'.

| 2018-03-03 | linux-initrd: Add virtio modules to '%base-initrd-modules'....Fixes a regression in installation tests, whereby 'guix system init'
would report that virtio modules are missing for the target devices.
In practice virtio modules were always available since 'base-initrd' was
always called with #:virtio? #t. This commit simply moves them to
'%base-initrd-modules' so that 'guix system' knows they're available.

| 2018-01-07 | vm: 'vm-image' images refer to the root file system by UUID....This avoids the hard-coded "/dev/sda1", which only made sense when the
image is run with "qemu-system-x86_64 -hda", not when it's passed to
Xen, etc.
Reported by Andreas Enge <andreas@enge.fr>.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image): Define 'root-uuid', use it as
the 'device' field for "/", and pass it to 'qemu-image'.

| 2017-12-18 | vm: Pass the host's /dev/urandom to the guest at /dev/hwrng....* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Use QEMU's virtio-rng-pci.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Likewise.

| 2017-12-17 | gnu: system: vm: Use loose cache for 9p file system....This improves the performance of the shared store for operations involving
lots of files, e.g. searching through the store.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (mapping->file-system): Add cache=loose to options.

| 2017-12-15 | bootloader: Factorize write-file-on-device....* gnu/bootloader/extlinux.scm (install-extlinux): Factorize bootloader
writing in a new procedure write-file-on-device defined in (gnu build
bootloader).
* gnu/build/bootloader.scm: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add new file.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-img): Adapt to import and use (gnu build bootloader)
module during derivation building.
* gnu/scripts/system.scm (bootloader-installer-derivation): Ditto.

| 2017-12-15 | vm: Adapt qemu command to ARM....* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): New argument #:target-arm32.
Use it to adapt command for qemu-system-arm. This implies to choose a
machine ("virt"), use the correct console port "ttyAMA0", disable KVM use
that is buggy on some ARM boards (Odroid XU4 for example) and use user mode
network stack instead of NIC. Gather all those options in a new variable
"arch-specific-flags".
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Pass
to load-in-linux-vm "#:target-arm32?" argument.
| Mathieu Othacehe |
| 2017-12-04 | bootloader: extlinux: Stop using dd binary....* gnu/bootloader/extlinux.scm (dd): Remove it,
(install-extlinux): replace dd call by Guile I/O procedures.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image): Add (ice-9 binary-ports) to used-modules
list to provide "get-bytevector-n" and "put-bytevector".
* guix/scripts/system.scm (bootloader-installer-derivation): Ditto.

| 2017-12-01 | system: vm: Do not add EFI partition on ARM system....* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-img): Do not add EFI partition if we are targetting
ARM.
UEFI support on u-boot is still experimental, so do not add EFI partition on
ARM for now.

| 2017-11-30 | vm: Filter out file systems that refer to UUIDs or labels....* gnu/system/vm.scm (virtualized-operating-system)[user-file-systems]:
Filter out things that refer to file system UUIDs or labels.
| Ludovic Courtès |
| 2017-11-26 | vm: Use os-defined initrd intead of base-initrd....* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image, system-qemu-image,
virtualized-operating-system): Replace base-initrd by
(operating-system-initrd os).
The system produced were always using base-initrd even if the user had
defined a custom initrd based on raw-initrd in the os declaration.
