guix, branch v1.5.0

maint: Do not check for optional guile-zstd in configure.ac.

2026-01-21T16:33:14+00:00

Partially reverts e642300195dfc7c83283db7e103fabf2c6ac65a7.
Only semver is a required dependency, zstd is optional.

* configure.ac: Remove check for Guile-zstd being available.

Change-Id: I1fe0fe77d0f15b1d383c890b46ce678402054efc

maint: Check for guile-semver and guile-zstd.

2026-01-21T14:23:59+00:00

These were omitted from the configure script, leading to failure during the
build, instead of an earlier failure during ./configure.

installer: kernel: Accept empty list as kernel.

2026-01-21T13:19:46+00:00

On architectures other than x86_64, the kernel page is not shown.  That means
the kernel will be an empty list. This leads to an exception during
installation.

* gnu/installer/kernel.scm (kernel->configuration): Accept empty kernel.

tests: foreign: Add Ubuntu test.

2026-01-19T18:28:10+00:00

This one is a bit more complicated than the other ones, because the qcow2
image is too small to hold the tarball contents.  So I have decided to add in
logic to resize the qemu img, the partition and the filesystem.

(ubuntu-qcow2): New variable.
(ubuntu-uidmap-deb-file): New variable.
(ubuntu-libsuid4-deb-file): New variable.
