- since Config knows what settings there are, it should create the
jobs to run later -- not the Page.
- this doesn't work yet, because the Config does **not** know what
the selected timezone is yet.
- all the TZ location information now lives in the Calamares
locale service and the TZ list
- replace the Location class that was local to the timezone
widget by the TZZone class
- chase a bunch of small API changes that this needs
- search for a key and return a type-cast pointer to the result
- while here, simplify some other code
- the find() function could be done with std::find_if but doesn't
get any shorter or more elegant
- By using QList< CStringPair* > consistently, we can save
a bunch of model code at the cost of an occasional dynamic_cast;
it's fairly rare for there to be a need for the derived pointer.
- Use namespace CalamaresUtils::Locale consistently for this service.
- Move locale-related non-GUI support code from the Welcome module
to libcalamares; these are generally useful. Both Label (naming a locale)
and LabelModel (managing a bunch of those Labels) have been moved.
- The language and BCP need to be in-sync
- Existing code was inconsistent in setting things, which is why
you could get through the locale page without setting a locale
(at all) or it would keep English in spite of picking Germand on
the welcome page.
- Patch tests to use that API.
- Allow split-setting of the language and formats
- Test new constructors
- Since fromLanguageAndLocation can handle empty localeGen
lists just fine, skip all the weird checks that return
invalid guessed locale configurations.
- Replace createDefault() with a constructor that takes a
locale name; use it with en_US.UTF-8 in those places where
createDefault was previously used.
This basically means we talk about localization in the respective
localized variant. e.g. "German (Germany)" ➡ "Deutsch (Deutschland)".
If geoip lookup failed or isn't configured for whatever reason it's a
stretch to expect the user to know english enough to find their own
language. Preferring the localized strings resolves this issue.
Additionally this happens to bypass #712 respectively
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-34287
as the native names are properly spelled. So, as long as Qt has localized
names the names will also be properly spelled.
Replace pin and text label with just a dot (to pinpoint where
locations are) and draw latitude lines on the globe when
DEbUG_TIMEZONE is set at compile time. Since there's probably
still timezone-related bugs (in particular in the images that
map points on the globe to timezones), leave this in the codebase.
- Make the BCP47 value explicitly lower-case.
- Add some constness and encapsulation.
- Fix up documentation in the packages module explaining the
format of the ${LOCALE} replacement (now forced to lower-case,
but it is also only the language part, not e.g. en-UK).
