Subject: [PATCH v2] guix-install.sh: Add unique requirement for sysv init
 system
Date: Tue, 28 May 2024 20:36:06 -0400

This improves the installer's ability to detect that all requirements are
present regardless of init system. It also avoids performing the requirement
check twice (printing excessively to the console) and provides a framework for
adding new init system specific requirements if it's needed in the future.

* etc/guix-install.sh (add_init_sys_require): Create.
(SYSV_INIT_REQUIRE): Create.
(main_install): Reorder installer steps so all requirements are checked in one
pass.

Hi all,

Here's an updated patch that is more selective about only checking for
dependencies when it's required. It might be a touch overengineered,
but I felt this was a better solution compared to hardcoding a
daemonize requirement check in chk_init_sys or similar.

I wanted to avoid calling chk_require twice. Because chk_require
outputs to the console, calling it multiple times will either a) print
multiple "verification of blah blah blah" messages to the user or b)
cause the user to fix the generic requirements, then need to fix init
system specific requirements as a two step process.

If it's ever relevant, this patch will make it quite easy to add
additional checks for specific init systems.
