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.
- 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
- 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.
- deprecate the old entries
- use a geoip sub-map for GeoIP configuration
- polish up documentation
- drop mention of blank and "legacy" styles for GeoIP config,
just update your URLs already.
- Some providers don't provide a single flat JSON object
(e.g. "{time_zone: foo}") but a nested structure
(e.g. "{location: {time_zone: foo}}"), so allow dots
in the selector to do multi-level selection.
- Unchanged config files will continue to use the weird addition
of /json, and interpret JSON data.
- Allow to specify full URL with data format through one of
geoipStyle: json
geoipStyle: xml
- XML support is optional
Module descriptors are now module.desc, no configuration allowed inside.
Module config files are <modulename>.conf, installed in
share/calamares/modules.
settings.conf is read from /etc/calamares, then share/calamares, and if
running with --debug also in the current dir.
Module config files are read from /etc/calamares/modules, then
share/calamares/modules, and if running with --debug also in
src/modules/<modulename> relative to the current dir.
