hi,
the grub entries for old system generations aren't very helpful. It
would be nice, if there was a field in the operating system declaration
stating what was changed in this generation, that would be added to the
boot entry label.

Hi,
Could you be a more specific what you think is missing?
Your request is written in a very open way, and the space in GRUB menus is
limited as far as I assume.

Sure,
Currently the grub menu looks like
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.12 (beta)
GNU system, old configurations...
and in the submenu
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.6 (beta) (#1, 2017-12-18 13:45)
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.8 (beta) (#2, 2017-12-22 12:15)
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.11 (beta) (#3, 2018-03-23 15:32)
but I'd like to have something like
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.12 (beta) [Add ssh-service on port 2222]
GNU system, old configurations...
and in the submenu
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.6 (beta) (#1, 2017-12-18 13:45)
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.8 (beta) (#2, 2017-12-22 12:15) [Add user bob]
GNU with Linux-Libre 4.15.11 (beta) (#3, 2018-03-23 15:32) [Add xfce]
where the description at the end comes from a field in the operating
system configuration (or the bootloader configuration).

So basically you want a field in the operating-system declaration where you
can _manually_ set a description of a certain maximum length which will be
added to the GRUB entry of the generated system generation?
I don't see automatic generation happening, as there's so much that can be
changed and automated summary would easily mess up the GRUB list. I wouldn't
want that. If anything, optional entry with a manual note is the way to do =
it.

I wonder whether this description can be generated instead - we have all
the information we need - the packages, the users that are there etc.
Or a description could be generated only if a custom description is not spe=
cified.
In fact it's easy to add this and would be a nice intro project for a
person interested in Guix development. I can mentor.
The thing used to fill the Guix bootloader entries is <boot-parameters>.
There's a procedure "operating-system-boot-parameters" which is used
to generate <boot-parameters> instances from an <operating-system>
declaration.
(operating-system-bootcfg calls operating-system-boot-parameters)
(perform-action calls operating-system-bootcfg)
(perform-action is in the top-level guix script)
<boot-parameters> are serialized to disk into:
/var/guix/profiles/system-704-link$ cat parameters=20
(boot-parameters (version 0) (label "GNU with Linux-Libre 4.14.14 (beta)") =
(root-device "dayas:/") (kernel "/gnu/store/fnk2xhicbrjsvbq082p6x0ch6npkrg0=
z-linux-libre-4.14.14/bzImage") (kernel-arguments ("crashkernel=3D256M" "mo=
dprobe.blacklist=3Dpcspkr,snd_pcsp" "quiet" "acpi_osi=3DLinux" "clocksource=
=3Dacpi_pm" "allow-discards" "root_trim=3Dyes")) (initrd "/gnu/store/nvhkds=
sz1m1p8xrggi78y8pd7jz4p3ng-raw-initrd/initrd") (bootloader-name grub) (stor=
e (device "dayas:/") (mount-point "/")))
But I wouldn't change the serialization format or what fields <boot-paramet=
ers> contain.
Just change operating-system-bootcfg to take a "description" parameter.
And change operating-system-boot-parameters to take a "description" paramet=
er and
use it to calculate the label.
And change perform-action to calculate the value for to "description" param=
eter in this way:
- Taking it from <operating-system> (or the command line?)=20
- Falling back to an automatic value (comparing it to the previous generati=
on) otherwise.
That's it.

But how much space do we have in the GRUB descriptions? I have computers wi=
th 800x600 or what
it was resolution for the screen, and while this would be a nice feature I =
wonder if there's
some implications in GRUB menu readability.
I'm not an expert in GRUB, I can boot without a menu, but GRUB is a small o=
perating system
on its own :)

Hello,
What about offering a way to specific the label of the new menu entry,
or otherwise a suffix or prefix of the label?
That is, you=E2=80=99d do:
guix system reconfigure -m "The config that works just fine, I think." co=
nfig.scm
and that string would be used as the label itself in the GRUB menu, or
as a prefix/suffix of the automatically generated label.
Thoughts?
Ludo=E2=80=99.
