- Use only utils/YamlUtils.h to pull in yaml-cpp and supporting code.
- When compiling with clang, turn off warnings that the system header
for yaml-cpp would generate.
- 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.
- Move the actual checking into a separate object with some lifecycle-
management signals.
- Right now this is still single-threaded and blocking, so no net gain.
- There is more to failing out of loadModules() than just
emitting modulesFailed, so instead share the failure
code with the code after loading modules -- but don't load any.
- Module dependency-checking is done in two phases:
first, catch any unknown modules that are listed
in *requiredModules* and bail out before loading
anything. Second, check that the modules required
by X occur before X in the sequence.
- Collect the failed modules, instead of bailing out on the first one
(this also prevents crashes caused by quit() called from a timer).
- Introduce a slot to report on failed module loading (no UI yet).
- Put the (constant) 'Calamares will now quit' on its own debug line.
- Tell the user what the search paths are if a module is not found
(prompted by a mis-configuration in a Neon live image).
- Move type and rename it; put in Calamares namespace
- Emit signals from the viewmanager as results come in
- Remove state changing from welcome view step based on its internal
requirements checking (for now this breaks progressing past the
welcome page)
- Log checking of the requirements
Introduce a method checkRequirements() into the module system so that
individual modules can do their own checking (as opposed to stuffing
it all into the welcome module).
- Was marked incomplete and unused; none of the existing modules
set any requirements, and the descriptors are not set up to
hold the requirements information anyway.
- Dependencies are generally through globalStorage values, or if
there are dependent jobs they should be created in-order by one
source (e.g. though a View or a subclass of CppJob which overrides
jobs() ).
- It is the responsibility of deployers to formulate a settings.conf
that includes all the required modules.
- A 'real' dependency system is going to lead to the introduction
of interface-definitions and a great deal of complexity, for a
use case that can be handled with careful deployment instead.
In order to avoid deep copies, Qt containers over which we iterate must be const
The remaining unported cases require qAsConst (Qt 5.7) or std::as_const (C++17)
Module descriptors are now module.desc, no configuration allowed inside.
Module config files are <modulename>.conf, installed in
share/calamares/modules.
settings.conf is read from /etc/calamares, then share/calamares, and if
running with --debug also in the current dir.
Module config files are read from /etc/calamares/modules, then
share/calamares/modules, and if running with --debug also in
src/modules/<modulename> relative to the current dir.
