SEE #1110
There isn't really anything to fix: partitions are aligned to 1MiB
boundaries now. Manjaro 18.0.3 is probably before the early-august
commit that added that.
While here, add some better partitioning-debugging and cleanups.
- 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.
- Remove the commented-out cruft and the whinging
- Fix use of COMPILE_DEFINITIONS with a list passed in
- Remove unused arguments (TYPE, TARGET)
- Document calamares_add_library
- Document how to use COMPILE_DEFINITIONS (in calamares_add_plugin)
FIXES#999 (In a way: that asked for Flatpak. People will sill need to
**build** Calamares themselves, but it could then be bunged a much
older system to install that one.)
SEE #1082 (Not really: that is about installing containerized
applications as if there is a package manager for them; AppImage is
developing a CLI tool to do fetch-and-store-in-the-right-place, so
that could be added to the packages module as well.)
- Prepare for using Conda for the Python environment in the
AppImage. This does not actually work, because the Python
support in Calamares doesn't find the alternative environment.
- Also log everything, rather than re-starting the log with
each build step.
- set PYTHONPATH inside the AppImage so libcalamares is found
- add Python module to the sample configuration
- relax password requirements (while we're at it)
- Add a script for building a Calamares AppImage file (this is
useful in *some* limited contexts, not a general way to distribute
Calamares since it's much more efficient to use installed libs).
- Add example config files for this AppImage build.
- Download the linuxdeploy tools if they are missing
- Document script flags some more
- Avoid crash due to invalid iterator, when modules
are removed due to missing requirements.
- Simplify code, factor out the determination of
which required modules are missing.
- Load instances list in a separate method
- Load sequence list in a separate method
- Don't rely on QASSERT, explicitly throw if something is missing.
- This was commented out to combat the crash in device->type()
- I believe the crash was caused by double-deletion, which was
fixed in 2092ec3c9a by not re-
parenting an immutable copy of something.
- Restore the button-fix, since we need that to keep the
*create* button in-sync with the selected partition.
FIXES#1097
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.

In order to allow the use of these functions across the whole partition
module and keep all partition size-related functions in the same
namespace, this commit moves them to PartUtils.

This commit creates a _KiB operator for future use by the partition
module.
It also fixes a typo in one instance of MiBtoBytes(), requiring a couple
extra fixes.

In order to be able to parse partition size strings using the same
functions across the partition module, the parseSizeString() function is
exported to the PartUtils namespace.
