- log device node (/dev/sdb) instead of its name
- don't log job's prettyName() because that's translated, and also
contains user-visible private names (introducing a non-translated,
nicely redacted version of prettyName() seems like too much effort
for something that can be reconstructed from bits earlier in the log)
- use hex-trailer
- while here, convert DebugRow to use a copy rather than a reference,
to avoid dangling references when applied to temporaries
- convert *partition* module to use the RedactedNames
- remove from GS
- remove duplication across Config and ChoicePage
- improve translations (presumably "msdos or gpt" is the most
complicated it will get)
FIXES#1735
- when (manually) using an existing LV, it shouldn't be closed
prior to formatting, since that kills the volume and then the
path (/dev/myvg/mylv) no longer exists. Then creating the
filesysytem on that device path fails.
- Strings were being used as logical values, and then logged
(which should be in English) and also used in the UI (which
should be localized). Replace with a MessageAndPath class,
used only locally, that defers the translation until called-
upon explicitly.
- Replace some VG stuff with similar calls to apply().
Returning partition full-paths instead of only the block-device-name
simplifies later code -- which would prepend /dev/ to the block-
device-name and umount that.
- the tryX() functions weirdly return a string that is used for
debug-logging. Document that. The untranslated string is
later used for user-facing messages. Mark that as FIXME.
- factor out the loop-over-names-and-append to news, because that
makes the overall story of what is happening hard to read.
- all calls to tryCryptoClose() called tryUnmount() first, so
put that call inside tryCryptoClose(), so the interface is simpler.
The `partition.conf` file contains an EFI-size. The default is 300MiB,
but distributions might like to use a bigger (or smaller) value.
Apply the configuration consistently everywhere where we need
"the size of the EFI partition". Extend the internal method
to look at the configured size.
This class doesn't really set a pointer -- it is a scoped assignment
through a pointer, which **can** set a value on destruction (when
it leaves scope). Rename it.
While here, extend the API so that it can do an assignment to the
underlying object **now**, while also doing a scoped assignment
later when it leaves scope. This makes some code a bit easier
to read ("in this scope, X is now <v> and then it becomes <v'>")
- previously, updateSwapChoicesTr() wanted to be a static free function,
but it needs QObject::tr() ; drop the unnecessary parameter (since it
is a member function).
- do not link (explicitly) to Calamares libraries, the CMake
functions do that automatically.
- while here, tidy and remove commented-out-bits
- while here, remove unneeded includes
will be used in summaryq, reading from widgets not an option
section probably better suited for Config.cpp/h, since quite a bit of duplicated code from
createSummaryWidget
Re-use the existing message about partition type and size,
since I don't want to introduce another message with all the
specifics; give a works-always message instead.
The check itself is also straightforward, avoiding all of the
nuances and technically-this-might-work cases: FAT32, 300MiB+.
FIXES#607
Modules nearly always have a Config and either a Job or ViewStep
as their "top level" components. Everything else is implementation-
detail. The *partition* module was unusual in that those two
"top level" components were tucked away in subdirectories.
Shuffle them to the top: this makes it more clear that these
two files are there to coordinate the module.
The existing API required calling the one constructor with
specific pointers (nullptr for a partition-from-free-space)
followed by calling one of the initFrom*() functions. This
is fragile design.
Use tag-classes to distinguish create-from-free-space and
edit-another-freshly-created-partition cases, refactor
to merge the initFrom*() methods into the constructors
and factor out the shared UI creation.
Callers can now use the tag-class to distinguish. While
here, adjust both callers to use QPointer, avoiding some
very specific dialog-on-the-stack crash possibilities.
When a partition is set as "freshly created", the dialog was
passing in newFlags() as the **already-active** flags on the
partition; then the caller was setting those same flags as
"set these in the future", so that afterwards, no flags would
actually be set (because they're already active -- see the
first sentence).
Now, fresh partitions have no flags.
- fsName was a QString (a copy) so it could be modified;
- the modification isn't really necessary.
- While here, pick up new PointerSetter convenience class.
PARTITION_UNSAFE is a debug mode. It is not used in
production, because it allows you to pick an install
device that would be dangerous (e.g. the current / device).
Existing code kept two copies of a list of pointers,
and deleted pointers from one of the lists and returned
the other -- which now contains dangling pointers.
Refactor by applying suitable lambdas to a single
copy of the list; this avoids copying the list so
there is no danger of dangling pointers.
The bootloader model knows about both rows and
devices, so we can look up both at once. The
existing implementation as a non-member was rather
sketchy and wasn't used except as support for
restoreSelectedBootLoader().
- the %4 is left-over from the feature-summary string,
- replace it with ""; don't change the source string
because that will break translations right now.
- Move variables closer to where they are needed
- Do the winnowing / selection always, but in unsafe mode return
the un-winnowed list of devices
- Massage build documentation a little
You'll need a VM with 2 disks to demonstrate:
- Configure Calamares to pick "none" as initial action on
the partition page (this is a safe choice),
- Enter partition page,
- No action is selected, and the next> button is greyed out.
- Click erase; notice next> is now available.
- Change devices, notice no action is selected, but next>
is still available. Clicking on it, though, does nothing.
When changing to "no action", update the next-button's
availability.
