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.
Although the NO_INSTALL keyword could be specified for
Calamares plugins, it didn't actually do anything. Now
it does. A NO_INSTALL module does not install configs
or libraries.
As Kevin pointed out, there's an extra conversion involved here --
although with -O3 the difference boils away leaving only a call
to a from-ASCII helper or a from-Latin1 helper.
While here, coding-style.
The plymouthcfg Calamares module is optional. Distributions which
write filesystems with a full plymouth configuration won't even
want to use it (see plymouthcfg docs).
However, now grubcfg depends on plymouthcfg to run because
the globalstorage value to trigger setting 'splash' in grub,
is set in the plymouthcfg module.
Just check for plymouth existence separately in the grub module.
Fixes ea1c8a0e5d
- The new format was introduced in Qt 5.7, and Qt 5.9 introduced
the --format-version flag to rcc to switch back to the reproducible
format 1. For distro's with Qt 5.7, don't use the new flag.
- Reported from Neptune Linux, #979
Since this is a new language, it is currently 0% translated.
That is why it goes into _tx_bad. It will move to one of the
other categories once some translation has happened. Add the
(still empty) Transifex files already.
- 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
- Add -v (verbose) and -b (load via bytearray)
- Verbose prints the keys read from the file,
- Bytes reads via an indirection through QByteArray, like Settings does
- 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).
- This is only found in order to know where polkit files should
be installed. In distro's that don't use polkit, may as well
make it entirely optional.
- Follow previous move of user-adaptable settings and regularly-updated
variables to the top of CMakeLists.txt with a move of the list of
translated languages.
- Put all the options near the top, easy to spot when reading the file
- Put the settings that need regular updates, like version, near the top
- Add some "section headers"
The validation of the configuration files (modules' .conf files,
as well as settings.conf overall) spits out warnings, but does
not do all the validation it can:
- should print locations more clearly (e.g. if there's a tab
in welcome.conf)
- should also print some part of the bad text, if possible
- if a module cannot be created, that should be treated as
a fatal error (now the module is silently ignored). This
is different from a module that can't be found, which
immediately triggers a fatal failure.
Test plan:
- introduce a tab into welcome.conf
- introduce a bad conversion into settings.conf
With just the bad welcome.conf, it should complain clearly, and
refuse to start. With a bad conversion, it seems that there is
a problem but execution can continue, so it should be made clearer
what the problem is. If welcome.conf is buggy, and welcome is
listed to show, this should be a fatal error.
