02/03: environment: Add '--emulate-fhs'.


From: guix-commits
Subject: 02/03: environment: Add '--emulate-fhs'.
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2022 03:36:05 -0400 (EDT)

civodul pushed a commit to branch master
in repository guix.

commit c7ba5f38b80433b040d3946b8fc0b1e8621ba30a
Author: John Kehayias <john.kehayias@protonmail.com>
AuthorDate: Wed Jul 20 23:46:45 2022 -0400

    environment: Add '--emulate-fhs'.
    
    * guix/scripts/environment.scm (show-environment-options-help, %options): 
Add
    '--emulate-fhs'.
    (setup-fhs): New procedure.  Setup for the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 
(FHS)
    container.  Defines and uses FHS-SYMLINKS and LINK-CONTENTS to create FHS
    expected directories and creates /etc/ld.so.conf.
    (launch-environment): Add 'emulate-fhs?' key and implement it to set $PATH 
and
    generate /etc/ld.so.cache before calling COMMAND.
    (launch-environment/container): Add 'emulate-fhs?' and 'setup-hook' keys and
    implement them.  Define and use FHS-MAPPINGS, to set up additional bind 
mounts
    in the container to follow FHS expectations.
    (guix-environment*): Add glibc-for-fhs to the container packages when
    'emulate-fhs?' key is in OPTS.
    * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix shell): Document '--emulate-fhs'.
    (Invoking guix environment): Document '--emulate-fhs'.
    * tests/guix-environment-container.sh: Add tests for '--emulate-fhs'.
