Make some of the nodes needed on GNU/Hurd.

This procedure is meant to be called from an early RC script.

Install the relevant passive translators on the first boot. Then, run system activation by using the kernel command-line options 'gnu.system' and 'gnu.load'; starting the Shepherd.

XXX TODO: see linux-boot.scm:boot-system. XXX TODO: add proper file-system checking, mounting XXX TODO: move bits to (new?) (hurd?) (activation?) services XXX TODO: use Linux xattr/setxattr to remove (settrans in) /libexec/RUNSYSTEM

Create an Icecat extension from package PKG and return a package that, when installed, will make the extension contained in PKG available as an Icecat browser extension. PKG-OUTPUT specifies which output of PKG to use.

Initialize the given ROOT directory. Use BOOTCFG and BOOTCFG-LOCATION to install the bootloader configuration.

If COPY-CLOSURES? is true, copy all of REFERENCES-GRAPHS to the partition. If REGISTER-CLOSURES? is true, register REFERENCES-GRAPHS in the store. If DEDUPLICATE? is true, then also deduplicate files common to CLOSURES and the rest of the store when registering the closures. SYSTEM-DIRECTORY is the name of the directory of the 'system' derivation. Pass WAL-MODE? to register-closure.

Use genimage to generate in TARGET directory, the image described in the given CONFIG file.

Create and return the image of PARTITION-SEXP as TARGET. Use the given ROOT directory to populate the image.

Install in ROOT directory, an EFI 32bit loader using GRUB-EFI32.

Given a GRUB package, creates an iso image as TARGET, using BOOTCFG as GRUB configuration and OS-DRV as the stuff in it.

Install in ROOT directory, an EFI loader using GRUB-EFI.

Convert IMAGE to OUTPUT according to the given FORMAT.

Evaluate DIRECTIVE, an sexp describing a file or directory to create under directory TARGET. DEFAULT-UID and DEFAULT-GID are the default UID and GID in the context of the caller. If the directive matches those defaults then, 'chown' won't be run. When ERROR-ON-DANGLING-SYMLINK? is true, abort with an error when a dangling symlink would be created.

Install DATABASE, the store database, under directory ROOT. Create PROFILE-NAME and have it link to PROFILE, a store item.

Make the essential non-store files and directories on TARGET. This includes /etc, /var, /run, /bin/sh, etc., and all the symlinks to SYSTEM. EXTRAS is a list of directives appended to the built-in directives to populate TARGET.

Populate DIRECTORY with a store containing PROFILE, whose closure is given in the file called CLOSURE (as generated by #:references-graphs.) DIRECTORY is initialized to contain a single profile under /root pointing to PROFILE.

When DATABASE is true, copy it to DIRECTORY/var/guix/db and create DIRECTORY/var/guix/gcroots and friends.

PROFILE-NAME is the name of the profile being created under /var/guix/profiles, typically either "guix-profile" or "current-guix".

This is used to create the self-contained tarballs with 'guix pack'.

Unmount copy-on-write store.

Make the store copy-on-write, using TARGET as the backing store. This is useful when TARGET is on a hard disk, whereas the current store is on a RAM disk.

Atomically copy BOOTCFG into BOOTCFG-LOCATION on the MOUNT-POINT. Note that the caller must make sure that BOOTCFG is registered as a GC root so that the fonts, background images, etc. referred to by BOOTCFG are not GC'd.

Return the list of the usernames associated with the present accounts.

Return the moderators for the account of USERNAME, a registered username or account fingerprint.

Return the list of all accounts, as a list of alists.

Whether the Jami D-Bus service was acquired by the D-Bus daemon.

Serialize the account-details alist into a recutil string. Period characters in the keys are normalized to underscore to meet Recutils' format requirements.
