[bug#40955] [PATCH 0/5] Add new image API.

[Mathieu Othacehe]

Hello,

This has been discussed previously on the mailing-list and can be seen on the
wip-disk-image branch.

It introduces a new (gnu image) module. This module makes image creation more
modular and extensible.

Creation of raw disk-images and ISO9660 images is now handled in (gnu system
image), and based on the new image API. This does not involve the use of
virtual machines anymore.

Some bootloaders are not yet supported (MBR based grub, extlinux,
u-boot). Image creation with those bootloaders, fallback to original VM based
process.

See:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-04/msg00347.html

Thanks,

Mathieu
