[bug#31755] [PATCH 00/19] Use (guix store database) instead of 'guix-register'

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Guix!

This not-so-interesting patch series refactors a whole bunch of things so
that, in the end, we can use the “new” (guix store database) instead of the
C++ ‘guix-register’.  It turned out to be more involved that I thought.  :-)

A practical consequence of this is that guile-sqlite3 becomes a requirement.
It would be nice if someone (maybe Danny?) could take care of tagging
guile-sqlite3 and making releases as needed.

I think the only new feature is that we can now populate the database in
a deterministic fashion by setting the registration data (see one of the
last patches.)  Regardless, I think it’s a step in the right direction.

Comments?

Ludovic Courtès (19):
  database: 'with-database' can now initialize new databases.
  database: Fail registration when encountering unregistered references.
  store-copy: 'read-reference-graph' returns a list of records.
  build: Require Guile-SQLite3.
  database: Provide a way to specify the schema location.
  database: 'register-path' creates the database directory if needed.
  deduplicate: Fix a couple of thinkos.
  database: Remove extra SQL parameter in 'update-or-insert'.
  database: Add #:reset-timestamps? to 'register-path'.
  database: Replace existing entries in Refs.
  database: 'reset-timestamps' sets file permissions as well.
  vm: 'expression->derivation-in-linux-vm' code can now use dlopen.
  install: Use (guix store database) instead of 'guix-register'.
  database: 'sqlite-register' takes a database, not a file name.
  database: Add 'register-items'.
  install: Use 'reset-timestamps' from (guix store database).
  database: Allow for deterministic database construction.
  store: Remove 'register-path'.
  Remove 'guix-register' and its traces.
