This is the bugfix part (rather than the "clean up this widgets mess")
of issue-1573, ensuring that the LookAndFeelPackage setting is
saved to the target system config file.
- Need to update the variant that is in use, **and**
explicitly update it in the widget, in order to re-load
the keyboard image for the newly-selected layout+variant.
The lookandfeeltool does not (always?) write the LookAndFeelPackage
key that the KCM does -- and which this module reads on startup
to find the default LnF. This seems to be a regression in recent
lookandfeeltool versions (or in the KCM code that backs it).
Workaround supplied by jghodd.
Fixes#1573
The module preserves the extended attributes at rsync and the overlay
filesystem stores extended attributes by inodes.
The overlay filesystem keeps traces of the lower directory by encoding
and storing its UUID to the attribute trusted.overlay.origin. If the
index feature is on, that attribute is compared to the UUID of the lower
directory at every subsequent mounts and causes mount to fail with
ESTATE if it does not match.
This filters the namespace trusted.overlay.* by using the rsync option
--filter='-x trusted.overlay.*' to make sure the overlays extended
attributes are not preserved.
Fixes:
# mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=...,upperdir,...,workdir= overlay /mnt/etc
mount: /var/mnt/etc: mount(2) system call failed: Stale file handle.
# dmesg
(...)
overlayfs: "xino" feature enabled using 32 upper inode bits.
overlayfs: failed to verify origin (/etc, ino=524292, err=-116)
overlayfs: failed to verify upper root origin
Previously, the auxerror information was never stored, and
the messages were all un-numbered or un-explained.
Now, consume that information and store it when check()
is called, ready to be used when (possibly much later,
or after a translation change) explanation() is called.
Mount guesses the filesystem if it is unset or if it is set to auto,
thanks to blkid. That is the case for the bind mountpoints like /dev or
/run/udev in mount.conf. See `mount(8)` for more details.
The drop-down of zones was initially unfiltered, so you could start
in Europe/Amsterdam and the zones drop-down would also show Australian
zones; picking Perth would have weird effects, since Europe/Perth
doesn't exist and so you'd end up in New York instead.
- set the filtering region immediately, rather than only when the
region changes.
Various file writes were not being checked, and the code
was a bit tangled; specifically keyboardq did **not**
configure properly on KaOS and now seems ok.
The root mount-point can end with a / while the mount-point read from
the file /etc/mtab does not end with a /.
This leads to skip the unmounting of the root mount-point and causes the
removal of the root mountpoint directory to fail with EBUSY because it
is still mounted.
This uses the python functions os.path.normpath() to normalize the root
mount-point (i.e. to drop the trailing /) and os.path.commonprefix() to
determine the longest common prefix between the two mount-points. If the
returned prefix is identical to the normalized root mount-point then the
mount-point must be added to the list of the mount-points to unmount.
More generally, the python modules should rely on the os.path functions
to compare for paths instead of using strings. It covers this way lots
of corner cases (path with "//", "/../", "/./", ...).
- put the writing of each kind of file in its own block -- this should
become separate functions -- so that variables become more local
and debugging can be improved.
- while here, fix the error message for /etc/default/keyboard:
it would complain and name the vconsole file path if it ever failed.
- factor out the flags-we-want from the flags-we-already-have
- the use of ->activeFlags() meant that the state on *disk* was
being compared with the flags-we-want; if a partition was re-edited,
then you couldn't change the flags back to the state-on-disk
(eg. enable a flag, then change your mind and disable it).
- set the flags before refreshing the partition, because the
refresh checks for EFI bootability and that needs the new flags,
not the old ones.
- remove the m_defaultFSType from PartitionLayout, because it is
set on construction -- which is too early, before the configuration
has been read.
- make the default FS explicit in the init() calls which pass in
a configuration; this needs support in the intermediate
PartitionCoreModule.
- the "simple" constructor for PartitionEntry left the FS type
set as the constructor left it -- which is Unknown by default.
This leads to install failures in systems that don't set a
special layout but just want a single / -- because the FS is
set to Unknown.
- massage the constructor and consumer of the code, push
Ext4 FS in the tests and use the configured default in production.
The return of the call to libcalamares.utils.mount is never tested and
it may fail silently; this causes some mounpoints to be missing.
This adds a warning if mountpoint cannot be mounted.

Some compile flags changed recently, triggering assert()
in the jobqueue when there is more than one. There's no
real reason for JobQueue to be a singleton, but it wants
to be. So clean up pointers a little more enthusiastically.
- Use classes to prompt lupdate to extract with a better
context (e.g. the class name, rather than plain "QObject")
so that the translation-lookup can use the named context.
- Add hard-coded "default" variant
- Add totally bogus Tajik translations, for testing purposes
Now that Calamares is compiled as C++17, we get this:
src/modules/locale/timezonewidget/TimeZoneImage.cpp:28:55: warning: out-of-line definition of constexpr static data member is redundant in C++17 and is deprecated [-Wdeprecated]
/* static constexpr */ const QSize TimeZoneImageList::imageSize;
The code doesn't match the comment: there are no by-ref captures
in the code, and the shadowing of parameters and local variables
is confusing. Remove one variable that is passed in as an argument
(and just pass the value as argument) and copy-capture the other
rather than doing weird argument passing.
- remove unused this captures from lambda
- rename variables that are short, cryptic, and shadowed
- remove documentation for parameters that don't exist
This commit adds the new configuration `swapPartitionName` to the file
partition.conf.
This option sets the partition name to the swap partition that is
created. If this option is unset, the partition is left unnamed.
- only widgets get language change events, so we need to
hook that up to the ViewSteps and inform the Config
object so that it can (re)load translations for the
keyboard data.
- Rename the "size" locals using "sectors" in their name. Size may be
confusing or not enough specific as it can be interpreted a size in
Byte.
partSizeMap -> partSectorsMap,
totalSize -> totalSectors,
availablesize -> availableSectors,
size -> sectors,
minSize -> minSectors
maxSize -> maxSectors
- Create a the new local currentSector to iterate over the sectors;
instead of using the parameter firstSector.
- Remove the variable end that does not help much; too many variable
already. Expand its expression instead.
- Introduces new constructors for PartitionEntry: copy constructory and
constructor with all attributes.
- Use the new constructor in method addEntry().
- The variant helper toString() takes a default value since commit
c9f942ad6 ([libcalamares] Add default value to variant helpers).
- Set the default value to 0 and simplify the retreival of size values
by calling the helper toString() and removing the temporary variables.
- The logic of the method initLayout belongs to the object
PartitionLayout. Move logic to that object.
- Use a single method initLayout in object PartitionCoreModule.
- Member m_partLayout in object PartitionCoreModule is no longer
allocated.
The translation happens whenever this code is run, which may
not match the language the user subsequently selects.
It also causes general problems with the translation,
since we end up with a possibly-partly-translated name.
- With debugging and untangling done, the lambdas are simple
and short, so return to using them. One point of improvement
might be to give the models suitable slots themselves,
to avoid even this indirection.
- Use the just-refactored XKBListModel to store the xkb key-value
pairs for variants, drop most of the complicated implementation,
store just a single list of values.
- Remove code that is duplicated in Config.
- Hook up UI for physical keyboard model, and back.
- For now, introduce some named slots with debugging output.
This makes debugging a lot easier since we have function names
to work with rather than anonymous lambdas
- Config already *has* everythind, but drop the useless copies
and duplicated code from the Page
- Plug the models model into the Page
- While here, document the model / layout / variant distinctions
The code doesn't fill the UI properly, and the drop-down
for the models combobox is not right, but at least the data
is shared.
- gcc (up to at least version 10) is worse at recognizing that all
cases have been handled, so it complains about all the switches
that cover enum values.
- both clang and g++ support __builtin_unreachable(); (as Kevin
Kofler pointed out) so we don't need the macro to do different things;
- the compilers have gotten better at detecting unreachable code,
so instead of inserting macros or fiddly bits, just drop them
and the unreachable code they comment.
- if the partition size is invalid, then warn about it but do
not print the (uninitialized) size of the partition.
- shuffle code to continue earlier, allowing the "good path"
code to be out-dented.
The special setup for nicely-named groups which have a single
hidden subgroup containing the actual packages, has the problem
that there is a non-empty subgroups item, but this results
in zero actual children: then the number of selected and partly
selected children is also zero in updateSelected() and therefore
the item ends up unselected.
Special-case this to avoid unnecessarily unselecting the item.
Reported by Vitor L.
The status for an empty login name is '' (empty), for ok -- this is
so that there is no complaint about it. But it's not ok to
continue with an empty name.
The status for an empty login name is '' (empty), for ok -- this is
so that there is no complaint about it. But it's not ok to
continue with an empty name.
- The EXPECT_FAIL value "Abort" stops the test (I wanted 'if this
unexpectedly passes, raise an error' -- should have read the
documentation more closely).
- Set the shell in the config object, not just in GS.
- add a status member so the different steps can show progress
as the user is created and configured. The progress values
are hard-coded guesses as to how much work is done for each step.
- while here, reduce the scope of the global storage variable
This is somewhat experimental and weird; the idea is that bool
arguments are a lot easier to understand if there are proper
names attached, rather than "true" and "false".
- os-proper may return an extra file after the device:
/dev/sda1:Ubuntu 19.10 (19.10):Ubuntu:linux
/dev/sdb1@/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi:Windows Boot Manager:Windows:efi
I think we had this (kind of) module a long time ago and it was
removed for over-complicating things; re-introduce one now that
KPMcore is used in 3 different places and all would benefit
from consistent API handling / defines.
- handle swapfiles when writing /etc/fstab in the target system
- special-case mountpoint
- since swapfiles are not a partition, take the setting out
of partitionChoices
- create the physical swapfile as well (there's no other place
where it would make sense)
This still won't help if there's one really huge file that takes
several seconds to write, but if there's a bunch of files together
that is less than a file_chunk_count but take more than a half-
second to write, update anyway
If there's thousands of files in a squashfs (e.g. 400000 like on
some ArcoLinux ISOs) then progress would be reported every
4000 files, which can take quite some time to write. Reduce
file_chunk_count to at most 500, so that progress is reported
more often even if that wouldn't lead to a visible change
in the percentage progress: instead we **do** get a change
in files-transferred numbers.
- The total weight is only needed by the UnpackOperation,
not by each entry.
- Use a chunk size of 107 so that the number-complete seems busy:
the whole larger-or-smaller chunk size doesn't really matter.
- The progress-report was missing the weight of the current
module, so would report way too low if weight > 1. This affects
ArcoLinux configurations where one entry is huge and one is a
single file, so weights 50 and 1 are appropriate.
When there are multiple entries, the overall weight of the
module is divided between the entries: currently each entry
takes an equal amount of space in the overall progress.
When there are multiple entries which take wildly different
amounts of time (e.g. a squash-fs and a single file) then
the progress overall looks weird: the squash-fs gets half
of this module's weight, and the single file does too.
With the new *weight* key for entries, that division can
be tweaked so that progress looks more "even".
- Give LVM jobs a dummy argument Device* so that they
fit the functionality of makeJob for partitioning.
For those jobs that already take an LVMDevice*, this should
be the self-same device, but that isn't checked.
* Use the minSize when the target storage is smaller than the sum of sizes
* Percentage-defined partitions should be computed after setting hard-defined ones
This fixes issues when 0 byte partitions were created when the disk is too small.
Also fixes an issue with percent-defined partitions being forced to be defined at the end of the disk.
- create dirs as needed (this will normally be done by
unsquash, but for tests with paths it needs to be done
by hand)
- log what file is being checked
- filePath() doesn't like the absolute paths we have
(they're absolute in the chroot, and existing code
just sticks rootMountPoint in front)
Document keyboard change for Turkish F layout, and document
the keyboard configuration value better, with alternate
path used in e.g. openSUSE
FIXES#1397
Some tests -- notably the keyboard module -- need to have the
QRC for the module loaded as well (e.g. because of data in the
QRC). Add a RESOURCES parameter to calamares_add_test()
like calamares_add_plugin() already has, to build the
resources into the test.
Keyboard test now passes, since it was missing the data for
lookups before.
- both changing the autologin and changing the user (login) name
affect global storage, and both may need to change the autologin
username; split it into a free function.
- the fullname change was bypassing the login in changing the
login name, **but** then it needs a back-workaround to keep
the "custom" setting off (when custom is off, auto-fill username
and hostname is active).
- after loading the config, fill GS already.
- when finalizing GS, get the autologin settings again.
- setup the visibility and initial checked-state of the reuse-user-
password-for-root near where it gets connected; do similar
for the require-strong-password
- squash the lambda slot into the regular slot: no sense in
connecting twice to the same signal with the same receiver.
- only connect config->ui once
- only connect at all if the setting is visible (e.g. when weak
passwords are allowed for the require-strong checkbox, or
when root's password will be written for the reuse-password)
once completed, this can be a fully functional (offline) locale selection option
worldmap.png no longer needed/in use
working is the stackview of the region & zones models
Timezone text bar shows correct timezone
currentIndex see comments on lines 65 & 139, not working
update of timezone text bar can't be tested if working as long no index is connected (see lines 93 & 168)
Still, already committing, since it does more then old Offline.qml, which had no function for timezone
- point to main Calamares site in the 'part of' headers instead
of to github (this is the "this file is part of Calamares"
opening line for most files).
- remove boilerplate from all source files, CMake modules and completions,
this is the 3-paragraph summary of the GPL-3.0-or-later, which has
a meaning entirely covered by the SPDX tag.
In spite of there being considerable documentation sometimes in the
config file, we go with CC0 because we don't want the notion of
'derived work' of a config file.
The example `settings.conf` is also CC0. Add some docs to
it while we're at it.
Some Calamares source files incorporate material from
3rd parties (unlike the 3rdparty/ dir, which is basically-
unchanged 3rd party source). Tidy up the FileCopyrightText
lines for those sources.
This is not an exhaustive effort.
There's lots of (YAML) test data that is just trivial configurations
for modules. Since the configurations themselves are **also** CC0-1.0,
and the tests are less interesting, license them equally liberally.
The build instructions are not that interesting, it's a toss-up
between CC0 and BSD-2, but because other CMake bits are BSD-2-Clause,
apply that to more CMakeLists. The copyright date isn't all that
accurate, but these are just inconsequential files.
While here, tidy up and get rid of some useless intermediates.
The .ui files are all GPL-3.0-or-later style, but it's
slightly difficult to keep licensing information in them:
it's XML, so an XML comment might work, but there's no
guarantee that safe/load will preserve them.
Put the SPDX tags in the <author> tag, so that it's visible
in Qt Designer.
This was causing CI builds to fail, since WEBVIEW_WITH_WEBKIT
is defined only in the Config file, not on the command-line.
This crept in accidentally while trying to get rid of that
config file entirely.
Re-jig the module-weight calculations.
- modules can have a weight
- module instances can have a weight
- jobs, from the module, can have a weight
This is now configurable on a case-by-case basis, rather than having
C++ only as an option and a weird hack for unpackfs.
reflect changes from users/Config.cpp
corrected id missing capital
mirror UsersQmlViewStep.cpp/h with the users versions
connections are still not made
- if the user password is reused (or not) then check the
status of the passwords against the new reuse-setting
- if the allow-weak-passwords setting is changed, then
check the status of passwords (both of them) against
the new weakness setting
As explained by Kevin Kofler and abucodonosor, the
implementer line can carry a bunch of different values,
but none of them are actually interesting. Simplify
the code.
- the way isPasswordAcceptable was being used was buggy, leading
to test failures (now fixed)
- don't expose the function, anyway: it's an implementation
detail for passwordStatus() which in itself is an implementation
detail for status notifications.
- avoid update loops by checking values before emitting *Changed()
- check validity of user and root passwords when asked
- if root isn't going to be written, or re-uses the user password,
defer to those status checks.
- a handful of modules had an unused *requires* key in module.desc;
this is probably from previous intentions around
prerequisites-testing. Since the settings were empty anyway,
they have been removed.
- [unpackfs] Compacted the way *requiredModules* list is written
This module allows the generation of the initramfs in Alpine Linux based
systems (excluding postmarketOS). Very bare bones, but then again it
doesn't need much. It uses the Alpine Linux tool "mkinitfs" to do the
job.
module builds, installs and runs, connections are not working yet.
UserQmlViewstep.cpp/h are from PR https://github.com/calamares/calamares/pull/1356
sections are commented out to make the module build, but help is needed to get those 2 files corrected.
config names used in usersq.qml are guessed from users/Config.cpp
debug window shows correct entries in GS, and under the module tab, usersq.conf is read
as should too. Running shows most config used in users.qml are not registered/wrong,
many entries like: qrc:/usersq.qml:228:13: Unable to assign [undefined] to bool
It is understood not all needed from the users module has moved to Config.cpp yet,
but doing the PR now, since it runs, doesn't crash cala and help is needed to further implement.
- The TZ widget uses a different coordinate system (mapping lat and lon
to pixel locations, and then calculating Manhattan distance from
that), so needs a different distance function.
- Simplify code: there's just one "closest TZ" function.
- create directories for new tests ahead of the tests themselves;
this **can** still cause problems if a test is run standalone.
- if creating the grub-dir at runtime is necessary, be informative
if it fails.
- the default_dir was only stored in modify_grub_default() to
create the directory if needed; move that functionality to
the get_grub_config_paths() function (and drop the "s",
since it now returns just one).
Go over the locale module again:
- new models that avoid weird casts and inconvenient iteration
- shared timezone data
- simple sorting and filtering
- simplify the map / QML version
FIXES#1476FIXES#1426
- refactor into some free functions (out of the lambda's for connecting)
- introduce new method to call from onLeave(), matching previous
widget behavior
- we can do GeoIP and GeoNames lookups, **or**
- use Calamares's internal GeoIP lookup and country / city hints.
The online version is much more accurate, but costs more lookups;
in these examples, set it all to "offline" and document what needs
to change (code edit) to use the online version.
It's probably a good beginner job to introduce a bool in localeq.qml
to switch the behaviors.
- Config has suitable strings for displaying TZ information.
Use them and automatic bindings. Don't update the strings manually.
- Suggest online or offline TZ lookups based on what the distro wants.
Edit the QML to pick online lookups (needs access to the geonames
service, though).
- Drop the variables that point at config and geoip: the Config
object has a currentLocation, which is filled in by both the
configuration and any GeoIP lookup -- it doesn't have city
or country information though.
- status is a longer phrase
- name is a short human-readable name
- code is the internal code
Code that writes its own "Timezone set to" messages can use
the name, rather than the status.
- when no location has been set at all, there's no sensible TZ
to report; just leave it blank. In *practice* you won't hit this
code from the Calamares UI before a location has been set, because
the Config object is instantiated and then immediately configured,
but from tests or unusual UIs it could be.
- needs some massaging because Config otherwise depends on
ModuleManager which is a UI class (for the Reasons),
but we already have a BUILD_AS_TEST define for that purpose.
- demonstrate a nullptr deref.
- The Config object now uses the re-done models and timezone data
- most of the properties of the locale Config are unchanged
- much less complication in extracting data from the zones model
- there **is** another source of information about the CPU,
so in the test use that to cross-check what hostCPU() says.
NB: it's probably a good idea to fall back on the same file
in hostCPU() for better accuracy.
- get username, password etc. from the config object, not the page
- jobs now depend entirely on config
- handle logic of "what's the root password" in Config
- The configuration for writing the hostname (to /etc/hostname,
to /etc/hosts and possibly to systemd-hostname) is read-only,
because it comes from the config file and won't change after.
- add the "reuse user password for root" setting to Config,
make the UI page follow that setting.
- add the require-strong-password default and toggle settings to
Config; this is not well-checked yet.
On the widget / UI side, connect checkboxes only if they are
visible; refactor reuse-user-password-for-root settings.
The TODO said it was unused: it **is** used, but only in
a very limited scope. Drop it from jobs where it wasn't
useful (e.g. those that just return prettyName(), outside
of the partition module).
- no need for the definition to be in public header, move to implementation
- while here, sort the members and private methods
- add a makeJob() to add jobs to the queue
- having a struct with an obtuse API for adding jobs-that-need-to-happen-
to-this-device is just not good for maintainability.
- break the build by making things private.
- The enum for install choice was copied into PartitionActions and
used in the Config object; its definition does not belong in the UI.
- Chase the renamings required.
- add an option to select what button should be selected when the
partitioning module is started; TODO: the actual functionality is
**not** implemented.
- drop the previously suggested name, which didn't get beyond the
comments-in-the-config-file stage (but which intended to do the
same things as this one)
- add option to schema already, even if it's not implemented.
See #1297
FIXUP conf
The encryption widget (passphrase for disk encryption) should show
ok / warning / error whenever the state changes; this avoids
it showing up first with **no** icon (it should show a warning
when both passphrases are empty).
Both the KPMCore and the ChoicePage -- asynchronously -- were connected
to the nextStatusChanged() signal. So if the core said next was true,
that could end up communicated to the ViewManager, enabling the *next*
button in the UI.
Changing to the *erase* page generally triggers a KPMCore reload,
which later emits a `hasRootMountPointChanged()` signal, once the
layout is applied and the disk gets a root mount point. So we'd
get a `true` from KPMCore, which -- because it was connected directly
to the signal to the VM -- would override any other considerations.
Hook up both signals to an intermediate slot that just recalculates
whether the next button should be enabled, based on the state
both of the Choice page and whatever else.
- drop groups from the viewstep
- note that the Config object should also be in charge of creating
Jobs (but then the de-tangling needs to be completed)
- add tests of default groups loading
Doesn't compile because QRegExpValidator is a gui thing.
- This is a half-step: the ViewStep shouldn't do job creation either,
eventually it needs to be the Config object, but this is better
than asking the widget (UI) to create some jobs.
- When updating login- or host-name, or the autologin setting,
set it in GS as well. This is a minor improvement over doing
it only when leaving the page.
- Since the Config object isn't complete, there are leftovers in
the widget, which has a fillGlobalStorage() for the not-jobs-related
bits previously in createJobs().
- since the configuration is in the UI parts, we need the widget still
to load the whole configuration (until the config object is complete).
Create the widget before doing configuration; this is wrong. But now
we don't hit nullptr derefs all over.
- make the HostName textbox just a view on the Config's HostName
- make the username and login textboxes view onto Config
- query the Config rather than the UI for job data
- delay construction of the Page (widget) until it's needed
- hand the Config object to the Page on construction
This is prep-work for putting the configuration information into the
Config object, rather than in the UI elements.
- most of the things in utils/ are in the CalamaresUtils namespace,
let Permissions follow suit. Chase the name change in the
*preservefiles* module.
- add an `apply()` function for doing the most basic of chmod.
Note that we don't use `QFile::setPermissions()` because the
**values** used are different (0755 for chmod is 0x755 in the
enum value passed to `setPermissions()`).
On the "Users" tab, the user can choose a username. It was possible to
use 'root' as username, which led to an installation error, because
'root' exists already.
Added a new check to the username validation.
Fixes#1462.
With PR calamares/calamares#1357 the label of the "Manual partitioning" option
was changed, which introduced several downsides:
* The label is shown for UEFI and for BIOS installations.
* The mountpoint of the ESP is and should be distro specific.
* The label always mentioned GPT, which is irrelevant.
* The label should explain, what the option does, and not, what
problems can occur under certain circumstances.
set index in i18n.qml to -1, old settings were just for reading from the bogus model
current model uses strings, so index fails to read from it. This fixes cala crashing on loading i18n.qml
- already had methods for various kinds of broken-up data, but
not one for plain "region/zone" strings; having this makes
it easier for QML to report a zone.
- use the region/zone method from QML, so that clicking on the
world map updates the actual TZ in Config.
- get network status from the global Network object; document that
- get the strings describing the language and LC settings from
the config-object instead of roll-our-own
- use the model of supported locales from Config to populate listboxes
- connect selection of language or LC to the Config object
- remove stray and useless TODOs
- remove unnecessary empty overrides
- clean up includes
- drop all the code that is now in Config
Since the business logic (setting locations, maintaining GS, ...)
is all in the Config object, the ViewStep is remarkably simple:
hook up a UI to the Config, which in the case of QML is done
automatically.
- since the Page hooked up a model and changed the region-selection
**after** connecting to signals, it would reset the location
to Africa/Abijan (alphabetically the first timezone) during
construction. Don't do that.
- this doesn't do the lookup **yet**
- while here, refactor setConfigurationMap so it reads like a story,
with chunks bitten out into a handful of static inline void methods.
- read the *region* and *zone* settings; this duplicates what
the ViewStep does and is currently unused, but ..
- add new support for using the system's TZ (rather than
the fixed values from *region* and *zone*). This complements
GeoIP lookup.
This is the actual feature that started the long rewrite of
the Config object (so that all the business logic would be in
one place, usable for both widgets and QML).
FIXES#1381
- writing *localeConf* settings to GS can be done always when the
formats are set, rather than special-cased. The code
that handles the "special case" of no widget existing for the ViewStep
overlooks the other crashes that happen then.
- Since Config knows what jobs to create, just ask it rather than
keeping a copy.
- allow finer-grained control over whether-or-not to adjust the
timezone in the live system.
- handle some special cases at the point of loading-configuration.
- document the setting in locale.conf
- correct some documentation bugs
- adjust the YAML schema for locale.conf so it's legal YAML syntax
**and** validates the current file.
- since all locale changes need to be entered into GS anyway, this
is something the Config object can do because it is the source
of truth for locale settings.
- drop all the GS settings from the Page.
- remove the weirdly-structured prettyStatus and similar:
the Config object has human-readable status strings (three,
for location, language, and LC-formats) which can be
normal properties with signals.
- Implement prettyStatus in the view step by querying the Config.
