* 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

FIXUP conf
- there are no consumers for checking-the-capacity-of-the-drive
This parameter was introduced in 3cd18fd285 as "preparatory work"
but never completed. The architecture of the PartitionCoreModule
makes it very difficult to get the necessary parameters to
the right place, and it would probably be better to put
a SortFilterProxyModel in front of a partitioning model anyway.
Since the display code can already filter on size, just drop this one.
- Initialize the attribute partAttributes to 0; it is a primitive type
and it is not initialized in some constructors.
Fixes commit c1b5426c6 ([partition] Add support for partition attributes).
- Move implementation of default constructor to cpp.
This commit adds the new configuration `efiSystemPartitionName` to the
file partition.conf.
This option sets the partition name to the EFI System Partition that is
created. If this option is unset, the partition is left unnamed.
- By the time the GS is actually written, new (for partition state)
is always false. So "new" is the wrong thing to track. It should
have had a better name anyway,
- We store custom properties on the partition objects to indicate
what happens to them; use those properties (instead of state,
as done originally), call it "claimed" to indicate that the partition
is part of this installation.
For now, only new (as in, formatted, created-by-us) partitions are
claimed.
- The effect here is that only "new" swap will be added to the system,
so in erase-disk installations, or manual partitioning.
- Install-alongside and replace will now **not** claim the swap already
on the disk; I think we'll need another UI knob for that one.
FIXES#1316
Introduces a "partitioning service" into libcalamares,
shuffles a bunch of things into it, tries to help out
with settling the system between partitioning actions.
- Starting to centralize utility code for partitioning into
libcalamares instead of scattered and weirdly shared between
modules.
- This particular commit breaks compiling the modules, though.
- The sub-directories under libcalamares (e.g. Utils, ..)
all live in namespace CalamaresUtils (well, except for Logger).
The services (e.g. subdirs other than utils/) live in their
own nested namespace, so partitioning should go into
CalamaresUtils::Partition for consistency.
Instead of relying on a module-specific implementation, use the new
PartitionSize class for storing partition sizes.

This commit adds several checks while reading the configuration of the
`partition` module, in case the partition layout configuration is
misformed. If an error is encountered, an message is printed to the
console and the module reverts to the default partition layout.
Checks are also added when implementing the partition layout, in case a
problem occurs that couldn't be anticipated (for example, when a
partition size is in %, checking its absolute value require knowing the
total device size, which is not the case when the configuration is
being read).

In order to maintain consistency, and make use, create a new PartSize

- KDE neon ships a post-3.3.0 KPMCore, with deprecations, but not yet
the KPMCore 4 API, so add another API-version check to handle the
deprecations. Keeps warnings down.
When using a custom partition layout with partition sizes in %, it can
be useful to set an upper limit to the partition size.
For instance, using a 20% size for the `/` partition will create a 24G
partition on a 120GB drive, but a 200GB partition on a 1TB drive, which
is not useful, and could be avoided by setting a maximum partition size.
This commit adds the `maxSize` parameter (with a default value of 100%).

- clear() signals modelReset(), which is true, but inconvenient
when we do a bunch of changes afterwards. Block signals,
and rely on own signaling when all of the changes are done.
- Keep blocking signals while updating the model, since the row
appends otherwise trigger a change in the connected combo box.
- For unsafe installations (compile-time option), make sure
things fail before partitions are actually written, unless
the other option is also turned off.
- This is a compile-time choice, and off by default. This may be useful
for developers that need to get through installation to a different
partition on their root drive.
- Add an option to avoid actually doing unsafe things. This is an extra
safeguard; you need to turn on one and turn off the other option to
really be unsafe.
As requested, this commit adds a new configuration option to the
partition.conf file, name `efiSystemPartitionSize`.
When this option is absent, the default size of 300MiB will be used.

- Provide a convenience method that names a Partition* with the
best human-readable name we can find (worst-case, spit out a
pointer representation which will at least help figure out
the identity of the Partition*).
Due to changes to the FileSsytem::typeForName() function, more
processing is needed to deal with locales and different cases.
This is done by refactoring the findFS() function, initially located in
the PartitionViewStep class, and making it available to the whole module.
Additionnally, more checks have been implemented regarding the use of
global storage in the PartitionLayout class, and the filesystem types
now use the correct FileSystem::Type, as requested.

When using the default partition layout (only a `/` partition), the

When setting the size of a partition without indicating the unit, two
problems occur:
- the size is parsed as an integer, not as a string, hence the
configuration parsing fails
- the size parser doesn't recognize the fact that the size has no units
and defaults to 100%
This patch fixes the configuration parsing as well as the size string
parsing.

When a partition doesn't have a minimum size in the partition layout
configuration, it defaults to using 100% of the available space.

In order to keep the partition layout during calamares' execution, we
add a PartitionLayout object instance to PartitionCoreModule. This class
will therefore be used to initialize the PartitionLayout object and

When no partition layout is present in the config file, we initialize
the layout with a single ext4 partition mounted on '/', as it was
previously done.

In order to use a custom partition layout in the partition module, we
need to write this layout in the module's config file, and store it into

As it doesn't look appropriate to extend an existing class with layout
information, we create a new PartitionLayout class, which will be used
to parse the layout from the config file and keep it in memory.

- The noload option prevents journal re-play (so it's an extra-
strong read-only) but is only applicable to ext3 and ext4.
Check the FS type before mounting; other FS types don't
accept -o noload and will fail to mount.
- This only applies to legacy (non-EFI) BIOS systems, and
adds the FlagBoot to whatever is already set for the root
filesystem, and only when autopartitioning the device.

FIXES: #1046CLOSES: #1049
Suggested by aliveafter1000: having a default value, and then
filling in the default in one place it is used and not others,
is weird. Instead of dropping the one use, remove the default
value: partition flags are important enough to be explicit.
