* privilege: Add POSIX capabilities(7) support.Tobias Geerinckx-Rice2024-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | * gnu/system/privilege.scm (<privileged-program>): Add a field representing the program's POSIX capabilities. (privileged-program-capabilities): New public procedure. * doc/guix.texi (Privileged Programs): Document it. * gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-privileged-programs): Take a LIBCAP package argument providing setcap(8) to apply said capabilities. * gnu/services.scm (privileged-program->activation-gexp): Pass said package argument where supported. Include privileged-program-capabilities in the compatibility hack.
* system: Add privileged-programs to <operating-system>.Tobias Geerinckx-Rice2024-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | * gnu/system.scm (<operating-system>): Add new privileged-programs field, that defaults to… (%default-privileged-programs): …this new variable, renamed from… (%setuid-programs): …this, which is now defined as the empty list. * doc/guix.texi (Setuid Programs): Rename this… (Privileged Programs): …to this. Adjust all refs. Update all mentions of ‘setuid’ (whether in prose, variable names, or code samples) to use the new ‘privilege[d]’ terminology instead. (operating-system Reference, X Window, Invoking guix system) (Service Reference): Adjust likewise.
* services: setuid-program: Populate /run/privileged/bin.Tobias Geerinckx-Rice2024-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create /run/setuid-programs compatibility symlinks so that we can migrate all users (both package and human) piecemeal at our leisure. Apart from being symlinks, this should be a user-invisible change. * gnu/build/activation.scm (%privileged-program-directory): New variable. [activate-setuid-programs]: Put privileged copies in %PRIVILEGED-PROGRAM-DIRECTORY, with compatibility symlinks to each in %SETUID-DIRECTORY. * gnu/services.scm (setuid-program-service-type): Update docstring. * doc/guix.texi (Setuid Programs): Update @file{} name accordingly.

* services: xorg: Add xorg-start-command-xinit procedure.Tomas Volf2024-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the user does not use any desktop environment, the typical sequence is to log in and then type `startx' into the tty to get a window manager running. Most distributions do provide a startx by default, but Guix has only an xorg-start-command that is not suitable for this. This commit adds a second procedure, xorg-start-command-xinit, that correctly picks a virtual terminal to use, sets up XAUTHORITY and starts xinit with the correct arguments. That should make running Guix without a desktop environment more approachable. * gnu/services/xorg.scm (xorg-start-command-xinit): New public procedure. * doc/guix.texi (X Window): Document it.
