| 2015-08-11 | tests: containers: Skip if setgroups file does not exist....Fixes bug #21226.
Linux 3.19 introduced a fix for a security vulnerability in user namespaces.
This fix introduced a new proc file called 'setgroups' and was backported to
many older kernels. However, some users run a kernel that is new enough to
support user namespaces yet old enough to not include the patch, so we must
skip the tests.
* tests/containers.scm: Skip all tests if /proc/self/setgroups does not exist.

| 2015-08-08 | build: container: Add #:host-uids argument to call-with-container....It's not always possible to map 65536 uids when creating a container as the
root user within another user namespace. This is true when building Guix
within the build daemon's container. By using a uid range of 1 by default,
even as the root user, the tests now pass.
* gnu/build/linux-container.scm (initialize-user-namespace, run-container):
Add 'host-uids' argument.
(call-with-container): Add #:host-uids keyword argument.
* tests/containers.scm ("container-excursion"): Update 'run-container' call.

'container-excursion'.
