- Move the actual checking into a separate object with some lifecycle-
management signals.
- Right now this is still single-threaded and blocking, so no net gain.
In some cases, e.g. when calamares is used as an "initial setup" tool,
we may want to user to go through all the configuration steps in order
to end up with a usable system.
Therefore, disabling the "Cancel" button can be useful in this case.
This commit adds an option to settings.conf which disables this button
when set to "true". If the option is not present in the settings file,
the default behavior ("Cancel" button enabled & visible) is enforced.

- A size of 64em has a value less than 1024, which is the minimum
size **in pixels**. The check doesn't make sense as-is and would
have to take the unit into account. Leave that to clients of
branding (e.g. CalamaresWindow, which already does this).
- Use DATA for the qml and branding directories (looks for qml/
and branding/<name>/ in those directories).
- Use CONFIG for the global settings and module settings (looks
for settings.conf and module/<name>/ in those directories).
FIXES#941
- Be more verbose when things go wrong while loading module-
configuration files.
- Allow more forms of paths to be specified. In debug mode, this
is mostyle helpful for the module test-loader.
- document new variable from the CMake module
- use it in libcalamaresui to simplify #include'ing the
header for the "all" extension.
Suggested by Denis Proskurin.
- Similar to the refactorings in Calamares proper, just split out
collecting the search paths into a static function. This makes
it a little easier to find places that will need expansion for
more-than-one-config-directory.
- There is more to failing out of loadModules() than just
emitting modulesFailed, so instead share the failure
code with the code after loading modules -- but don't load any.
- Module dependency-checking is done in two phases:
first, catch any unknown modules that are listed
in *requiredModules* and bail out before loading
anything. Second, check that the modules required
by X occur before X in the sequence.
- The value set in module.desc was never stored for use,
but isn't an attribute of the instance, either. It belongs
with the descriptor, in ModuleManager.
Introduce the notion of emergency modules and emergency jobs.
Initial use will probably center around the preservefiles module,
and possibly umount.
FIXES#928
Any job can be an emergency job; emergency modules spawn
emergency jobs (but conversely, a non-emergency module
can spawn an emergency job explicitly).
A potentially emergency module is one that has EMERGENCY
(in CMake) or emergency: true (in module.desc) set.
Any such module must also set emergency: true in the
configuration of the module. This is to allow for
instances of a module that **don't** run as emergency
modules, alongside actual emergency ones.
- Add a TODO for allowing modules to come from somewhere other
than the module loader (this would allow "internal" modules
that are always present)
- Warnings are warnings
- Collect the failed modules, instead of bailing out on the first one
(this also prevents crashes caused by quit() called from a timer).
- Introduce a slot to report on failed module loading (no UI yet).
- document accessors
- put all path and directory accessors together
- make simple accessors inline
- rename "pathprefix" to "directory" to be consistent with others
- Include all headers for types that need to be fully-defined
(e.g. return types). This guards against uses in contexts where
those headers have not been implicitly or previously included.
FIXES#948
- Settings is just a settings class, no UI involved, so
move to libcalamares where it can be used also from
system helpers.
- YAML utilities are useful at a lower level of the stack, too.
- Put the (constant) 'Calamares will now quit' on its own debug line.
- Tell the user what the search paths are if a module is not found
(prompted by a mis-configuration in a Neon live image).
- Use DebugRow for one-row-at-a-time output with continuations.
- Use DebugList for one-item-per-line with continuations.
- Use DebugMap for one-row-at-a-time output of a QVariantMap.
The install-bits branch commit 83639b182b
dropped .so-versioning for libcalamares and the creation of the Python-
support symlink. This broke KDE Neon dev-unstable because the embedded
Python can no longer find libcalamares.
Installing unversioned .so's straight to LIBDIR is also not a good thing
(according to Debian), so revert to the original scheme with versioned
.so and a Python-support symlink.
Medium-term fix is to install unversioned straight into LIBDIR/calamares
and fix up the RPATH for the executable.
- Applies to libcalamares and libcalamaresui.so, install with no
version, just the bare .so. Since Calamares doesn't do versioning
anyway, and its plugins should be re-compiled for any change,
putting them in lib as unversioned .so's should make Calamares
happy and silence lintian.
- If the next step will be an install-step (e.g. hit the optional
confirmation step) then change the text on the 'next' button to
'install'.
- Do a little refactoring to make that more pleasant.
FIXES#905
- remove hide-close-button hack
- refactor code in viewmanager for confirming quit
- hook up confirm-and-quit to WM close button
- also works for alt-F4 and other quit methods
- while here, update copyright year
FIXES#870
- Move type and rename it; put in Calamares namespace
- Emit signals from the viewmanager as results come in
- Remove state changing from welcome view step based on its internal
requirements checking (for now this breaks progressing past the
welcome page)
- Log checking of the requirements
Introduce a method checkRequirements() into the module system so that
individual modules can do their own checking (as opposed to stuffing
it all into the welcome module).
- Was marked incomplete and unused; none of the existing modules
set any requirements, and the descriptors are not set up to
hold the requirements information anyway.
- Dependencies are generally through globalStorage values, or if
there are dependent jobs they should be created in-order by one
source (e.g. though a View or a subclass of CppJob which overrides
jobs() ).
- It is the responsibility of deployers to formulate a settings.conf
that includes all the required modules.
- A 'real' dependency system is going to lead to the introduction
of interface-definitions and a great deal of complexity, for a
use case that can be handled with careful deployment instead.
