Re: Merging ‘wip-newt-installer’ in master?

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi again!

I pushed a few commits to ‘wip-newt-installer’.

I was able to test it with (roughly):

  guix system disk-image --file-system-type=iso9660 gnu/system/install.scm
  qemu-img create -f qcow2  /tmp/t.img 2100M
  qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512 -cdrom /gnu/store/…-image.iso \
    -hda /tmp/t.img

The config file was properly generated (hurray!).  The actual
installation eventually failed because substitutes are taken from
hydra.gnu.org, and somehow at one point it would try to download
linux-libre, which would fail (quite surprisingly: I’d expected the
download fallback to work, dunno what happened.)

Anyway, can we rebase the branch on ‘master’?

It seems to me that it’s in a good shape.  The installer is really
pleasant to use!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
