Prompted by Linlinger, I've reconsidered the names of languages
in the drop-down in the welcome page. We already have the
infrastructure for assigning specific names / locales to
"Calamares locale names" (which match Transifex names, not
necessarily Qt names). Use that to put exactly two Chinese-
language translations in the drop-down:
- Simplified Chinese (code zh_CN)
- Traditional Chinese (code zh_TW)
Drop zh (which is a peculiar locale name anyway) and zh_HK
(which is Traditional Chinese, but using the geographic
boundary is a bit weird; we're going to ignore the
minor orthographic differences with Traditional Chinese
written elsewhere for now).
Note that this makes the drop-down show "Chinese"
in the English column, twice; the difference is visible
only in the native-language representation.
SEE #1741
With old Qt, Calamares could only run one check on a thread,
because the NAM would be switched to NotAccessible --
subsequent checks would fail because the NAM is already
hard-set to NotAccessible, so it could never be turned back
on by Calamares code.
Reset the accessible flag for the NAM while checking if
the internet is there.
- India (when in English) should use the English variant, not Hindi
- While here, fix up minor items in code:
- Typo in comment
- Asturian doesn't need a special case (which didn't match, anyway)
- Don't debug-log a country-name that might be entirely wrong
(the layout is English, variant "in" but "in" interpreted as
a country is Indonesia, and the actually-desired name is eng_in
which isn't a QLocale name at all -- just like the Hausa and Igbo
special cases)
The test was loading the config file (for testing) either from the
build directory or possibly the source directory; if the config
in the build-dir was edited (for other testing purposes) then
the test would fail. Load only the source-dir version of the file.
- improve logging
- fix failing tests -- the observed and expected behavior is
to fill in a fallback check-URL, not change to an empty list,
- **except** if there's no requirements key in the config
at all; this is a bit weird, but let's make the tests
document existing behavior so we can notice if it changes.
- Setting 'id' (which changes the Global Storage key that
gets used) is a kludge when the existing module-instance
name can be used instead -- and **was** already used, as
a fallback when 'id' is not set. There's no point in having
two places to set a particular name.
- Rip out the docs for 'id' as well.
- Add documentation on the difference between single-selection
(the QML implementation) and model-selection (what the Widgets
version does).
- use updateGlobalStorage() for both single-selection and
model-based approaches, although the model-based one
needs extra parameters.
- complain about inconsistent settings and API calls (e.g.
setting a model and single-selection at the same time)
- pkgc -> packageChoice and similar for methods, variables
- document that this is the convenience value for one-selection
QML modules, not a full model
- use std::optional to keep track of which one is being used.
