- add a status member so the different steps can show progress
as the user is created and configured. The progress values
are hard-coded guesses as to how much work is done for each step.
- while here, reduce the scope of the global storage variable
- point to main Calamares site in the 'part of' headers instead
of to github (this is the "this file is part of Calamares"
opening line for most files).
- remove boilerplate from all source files, CMake modules and completions,
this is the 3-paragraph summary of the GPL-3.0-or-later, which has
a meaning entirely covered by the SPDX tag.
- Add a *userShell* key, which can be left out (default, backwards-
compatible) to retain the old /bin/bash behavior, or explicitly
set to empty to defer to useradd-configuration, or explicitly
set to something non-empty to use that shell.
- This is prep-work for #964, which was caused by #955
- Original assumption was that distro's would have a working
useradd configuration; @abucodonosor already pointed out that
this was probably not the case, but I ignored that.
There is no need to force folks haing a random group
bc that is a Distro think. SDDM/GDM works just fine without
having a group for the user to autologin.
Just setup a group in users.conf .. is why we have a configuration
option for that.
Pass the full name directly to useradd instead, using the "-c" (comment)
parameter, which is "currently used as the field for the user's full
name" according to the documentation.
The chfn utility is no longer installed by default on current Fedora
releases due to its dependency on libuser. (They split out chfn and chsh
from util-linux into an optional subpackage.) It could be added as a
dependency of Calamares, but since it is needed inside the chroot, it
has to be on the base live image, not the overlay. Thus, to allow
testing Calamares with a simple "dnf install calamares" again, the
dependency needs to go away. And it is unnecessary anyway.
Fixes CAL-345.
Changing group of home dir to the default "users" group might be a security risk
because every user which belongs to the default "users" group
might be able to access private data on home dirs of other users.
