guix/gnu, branch v1.5.0rc1

installer: Drop uri from provenance log.

2025-12-22T22:00:46+00:00

To synchronize the artifacts made from Cuirass, pre-inst-env
and time-machine, drop the url from provenance sexp.

* gnu/installer.scm (provenance-sexp): Drop url.

system: install: Remove current-guix url override.

2025-12-22T22:00:46+00:00

Prefer parameterization of current-guix in release artifacts
generation.

* gnu/system/install.scm (%installation-service): Use (current-guix)
directly in guix service configuration.

vm-image.tmpl: Remove current-guix url override.

2025-12-22T22:00:45+00:00

This simplifies things thanks to the release artifacts now, they have been
rewritten to Guile and can now supply current-guix-package as a parameter, as
was intended. That way the checkout is not leaked for the release artifacts.

* gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl
(guix-package-commit): Remove variable.
(operating-system): Use (current-guix) directly.
* gnu/system/examples/vm-image-efi.tmpl: Likewise.

image: system-iso9660-image: Propagate image-name to derivation name.

2025-12-22T22:00:44+00:00

* gnu/system/image.scm (system-iso9660-image): Use name from image-name
instead of hardcoded image.iso.

linux-initrd: Support more virtio modules in initrd.

2025-12-22T22:00:42+00:00

Adds mmio and scsi modules for virtio. scsi one is needed for using
virtio-scsi-pci, that can be a common option on aarch64, where only two
options pop up for mounting disks:
- virtio-scsi-pci
- virtio-blk

While virtio-blk should generally be preferred, sometimes virtio-scsi-pci pops
up first on the internet, so people can use it.

virtio-mmio is a necessity on Aarch64 for virtio-blk to work.

* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (default-initrd-modules): Add virtio_mmio and
virito_scsi.

system: vm-image-efi.tmpl: Add example efi vm image.

2025-12-22T22:00:42+00:00

This is a copy of vm-image.tmpl, but with
efi bootloader. Since user ends up with this
config in their /run/current-user/configuration.scm
and the regular way to continue is to copy
that file and reconfigure off of it, it seems
better to just keep distinct configuration.

Moreover xf86-video-intel is removed,
because it doesn't compile on aarch64.

* gnu/system/examples/vm-image-efi.tmpl

services: xorg: Return only supported packages in %default-xorg-modules.

2025-12-22T22:00:41+00:00

The xorg modules are used inside of services that's thunked. So we can
make them depend on the %current-system.

* gnu/services/xorg.scm
(default-xorg-modules): New variable.
(%default-xorg-modules): Return result of (default-xorg-modules).

gnu: make-iso9660-image: Do not compress any kernel, compress man pages.

2025-12-22T22:00:40+00:00

Because the linux image is called differently based on the architectures,
see system-linu/-image-file-name from gnu/system.scm, the kernel image
on aarch64, mips and armhf has still been compressed. This means that
grub cannot boot.

Man pages have moved from gz to zst, so compress them as well.

* gnu/build/image.scm (make-iso9660-image): Do not compress Image, vmlinuz and
zImage; Compress all man pages.

system: installation-os: Support efi-only.

2025-12-22T22:00:39+00:00

Aarch64 doesn't support grub-pc, so we cannot
use the regular grub-bootloader, grub-efi-bootloader
has to be used.

Since neither packages nor bootloader are thunked,
there seems to be no other choice than using something
from the outside environment, such as an environment
variable to decide what bootloader to use.

For convenience, a procedure is made to be used from
other Guile code, instead of relying on environment
variables.

* gnu/system/install.scm
(make-installation-os): New variable; Use grub-efi-bootloader when
efi-only? is #t; Use bootloader package in packages instead of grub-pc.
(installation-os): Replace with call of make-installation-os with default
arguments.

image: Add /boot/efi filesystem if operating-system specifies it.

2025-12-22T22:00:39+00:00

Instead of forgetting about the /boot/efi system completely, re-add it
with proper label. This way lightweight.tmpl, desktop.tmpl still
boot when supplied to guix system image. That was the reason for
removing /boot/efi file-system in the first place. Removing it however
means the target system cannot be reconfigured by default, as the
esp is not mounted.

* gnu/system/image.scm
(partition-has-flag?): New variable.
(root-partition?): Use it.
(find-partition-with-flag): New variable.
(find-root-partition): Use it.
(find-esp-partition): New variable.
(operating-system-for-image): Add /boot/efi file-system with proper
label instead of removing it completely.
