Doesn't compile (but I need to get it off this machine)
- Prepare to implement a picture-based slideshow alongside QML
- Split QML loading into the slideshow component
This might be good prep-work for moving QML loading out of the QMLViewStep as well.
fully implemented:
* loading of a live map, ESRI based, zooming & dragging possible
* IP address is translated to map coordinates
* loading of the map centers to the obtained coordinates, with a marker set
* coordinates are translated to a timezone, label visible at bottom of the map
* mouse movement will show changing coordinates
* clicking on new location will center map there, marker moved too, timezone label adjusted
* hasInternet switch set to either load Map.qml or Offline.qml
not done:
* get hasInternet status
* fill the fine-tune 181n.qml with proper locale & language data
* connect the obtained timezone to globalstorage
comments are left in the various files for what needs attention/changes
Improve testing framework while adding tests to rawfs to double-
check that the conversion (for Python 3.3 compatibility) of
capture_output is correct.
- If a module has tests/#.global or tests/#.job, these are used
as arguments to a test-run of loadmodule (which reads them
and runs the module with that configuration).
- This makes the old python-loading test and test-runner entirely
obsolete, so remove them too.
- By default, try to use DBus service to keep Calamares unique
- The older implementation via KDSingleApplicationGuard is still
available, just not used by default.
- Calamares doesn't like to run multiple instances, since they would
interfere with each other (stealing disks from each other, for instance).
The single-application code tries to prevent that.
- For -d runs, for developers where presumably they know what they are
doing, the single-application restriction is annoying: especially if
you need two instances at once for some kind of visual comparison.
Drop the single-app requirement if -d is given.
- If the QML navigation panel sets a height, use that
- If it doesn't, use 48px (which *may* make sense, but like many
screen dimensions in Calamares doesn't take HiDPI into account)
- Give the demo QML an explicit height of 48
- This code has existed for a long time but never stored anything
to the Branding object, and the most literal slideshow (just some
images) was not implemented.
Region "Africa" zones # 52
14:25:19 [6]: .. Zone "Asmara" QPoint(445,183)
14:25:19 [6]: .. First zone found 2 "2.0"
14:25:19 [6]: .. Also in zone 3 "3.0"
- All failures were being reported as Timeout, which is confusing
when they are not. Introduce HttpError for the not-timeout
other kinds of errors.
- Add operator<< for RequestStatus for nicer error logging.
- The Config object can handle GeoIP loading on its own. Both
View steps that used this had a derpy view->setCountry() that
didn't really do anything with the view anymore.
- This forces the EFI firmware to boot the loader that was just
created, whatever the boot order set in the firmware setup (USB,
CD/DVD, HD...).
- It is safe to use the first Boot Entry listed in BootOrder as the
previous command creates the new entry and adds it to the first place
of the BootOrder.
