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'>")
This class was used only once, and is confusing because
the assignment happens always, but to the opposite value
as what was visible. It can be replaced with other
scoped assignment, instead.
Removes the tests for it, too.
Require a ; after RETRANSLATE macros. They are statement-like;
this makes it easier for some of them to be recognized by
clang-format and resolves some existing weird formatting.
The drop-down of zones was initially unfiltered, so you could start
in Europe/Amsterdam and the zones drop-down would also show Australian
zones; picking Perth would have weird effects, since Europe/Perth
doesn't exist and so you'd end up in New York instead.
- set the filtering region immediately, rather than only when the
region changes.
- point to main Calamares site in the 'part of' headers instead
of to github (this is the "this file is part of Calamares"
opening line for most files).
- remove boilerplate from all source files, CMake modules and completions,
this is the 3-paragraph summary of the GPL-3.0-or-later, which has
a meaning entirely covered by the SPDX tag.
- 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
- since the Page hooked up a model and changed the region-selection
**after** connecting to signals, it would reset the location
to Africa/Abijan (alphabetically the first timezone) during
construction. Don't do that.
- since all locale changes need to be entered into GS anyway, this
is something the Config object can do because it is the source
of truth for locale settings.
- drop all the GS settings from the Page.
- remove the weirdly-structured prettyStatus and similar:
the Config object has human-readable status strings (three,
for location, language, and LC-formats) which can be
normal properties with signals.
- Implement prettyStatus in the view step by querying the Config.
- the language and LC settings migrate from page to config
- add API for explicitly setting language (which is then preserved
when clicking new locations)
- 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.
