- 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.
- 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.
