2023-10-10gnu: udev-service-type: accept hardware description file extensions.Vivien Kraus
The udev-configuration record now has a hardware field. The contents of the /etc/udev directory now includes hwdb.bin, which is computed when the system is instanciated (prior to system activation). The hardware description files used to generate hwdb.bin are not installed in /etc, because they are not required at run-time. The documentation has been reworked so as to explain why creating udev rules or hardware needs helper functions for configuration or extension. * gnu/services/base.scm (udev-hardware): New function. (file->udev-hardware): New function. (udev-hardware-service): New function. (udev-etc): Add hwdb.d and hwdb.bin. (module): Export udev-hardware, file->udev-hardware, and udev-hardware-service. (<udev-configuration>): Add the native-udev field. (udev-service-type) [extend]: Populate the hardware field. * doc/guix.texi (Base Services)[udev-service-type]: Explain configuration and extension values. * doc/guix.texi (Base Services)[udev-hardware]: Document it.

2023-09-20image: Introduce the mbr-hybrid-raw image type.Mathieu Othacehe
Until 209204e23b39af09e0ea92540b6fa00a60e6a0ae and d57cab764122af69d52d8cc9c843456044e5d7bc, the default image type used by "guix system image" was an MBR image with an ESP partition. Having both an MBR image and an ESP partition is handy because the image will boot on most x86 based systems using legacy BIOS and/or UEFI. We now have a distinction between MBR images and EFI images. Introduce a new MBR hybrid image type and default to it to restore the default behaviour. This also fixes the images section of (gnu ci) that was trying to install a BIOS bootloader on an EFI, GPT image and failing to do so. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Othacehe <othacehe@gnu.org>
