- Scenario: *keepDistribution* is true, and the existing file contains
a GRUB_DISTRIBUTION line **followed** by a commented-out GRUB_DISTRIBUTION
line.
- In that case, the commented-out line would change the flag back to
False, and we'd end up writing a second GRUB_DISTRIBUTION line at the end.
Prevent that: the flag can only go to "True" and then stays there.
Editorial: If your grub configuration would have tripped this up, then
you're doing something wrong. Clean up the configuration file first.
- If we update the line, then GRUB_DISTRIBUTION has been set
- If we don't update the line (e.g. because of *keepDistribution*)
then a comment doesn't count as "have seen that line".
This means that if we get to the end of the file, with only commented-
out GRUB_DISTRIBUTION lines, and *keepDistribution* is set, then we'll
still write a distribution line -- because otherwise it's not set at all.
- Previous fix would erase the distribution information (using an
empty string to flag 'preserve existing GRUB_DISTRIBUTION lines'),
but that is fragile. A distro might set that, and yet **not**
set a GRUB_DISTRIBUTION line, in which case it would end up with
a setup without any GRUB_DISTRIBUTION set.
- When a GRUB_DISTRIBUTION line is found, **then** check if it should
update the line or not. This way, we have a suitable distribution
to write if no GRUB_DISTRIBUTION is found at all.
- move the explicit checking for non-empty into a specific
(normal) password check
- leave only the-two-fields-are-equal outside of the password-
requirements framework
- having non-empty is the same as minLength 1, but gives a different
error message
- the two explicit checks are the ones that handle *two*
strings as special cases; all the other checks from
the password-requirements system only handle the one string.
- the explanations under and around the boxes is noisy,
hard to size correctly (viz. issue #1202)
- use tooltips in almost-all fields instead
- add placeholder text to be more suggestive
- since the wording of the checkbox itself (and the functionality)
is to enforce strong passwords, need to switch out some
logic and fix the wording of the documentation.
- The "convenience" method was no longer convenient, since
we now place strings on the buttons by default.
- While here, **name** the buttons so they can be themed.
- if the welcome module wasn't loaded (or loading otherwise failed)
then no text was set, leading to confusing screens with
buttons with icons but no label.
- If a module exists, and has unmet dependencies, then
that is only a problem if the module itself is *used*.
Merely existing is ok.
This triggers on FreeBSD, where partition isn't built, but
bootloader depends on partition -- so you can never start
Calamares on FreeBSD, because bootloader depends on something
non-existent.
Relax the check: just warn, and only fail if a non-existent
module is used (all those with unmet dependencies are considered
non-existent).
- Calamares scans **all** subdirs of the module-directory
for a module.desc and complains about those that don't have
a module.desc.
- For ./calamares -d runs from the build-directory, this
leads to a few complaints when some plugins have been
ignored (and so no module.desc is generated for them).
- Give the whole entry to file_copy, not just the
destination. This will allow file_copy to work
with local excludes.
- Pluck entry.destination out immediately, to keep
code changes minimal.
- Document the parameters.
- list_excludes() turns the extra mounts from global storage
into --exclude parameters for rsync; it doesn't do anything
with the destination parameter.
- while here rename to something more descriptive
