make kpmcorehelper usable for both kf5 & 6, though no section added yet dealing with set to NOT for Qt6
adjust CalamaresConfig to not be hardcoded to kf5
one more var needed in Variant.h, used in PartitionInfo.cpp
adjust QVariant & QtConcurrent use
- On FreeBSD, no KF6 was available
- On KDE Neon Unstable, there are somewhat wonky KF6 packages available
- Adjust CMake to find the KDE Neon versions, then fix the C++ code
This commit adds support for LUKS2 behind a new `partition.conf` key:
`luksGeneration`.
A bit of context, LUKS2 is the default encryption operating mode since
cryptsetup >= 2.1.0 (See [Arch
wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/dm-crypt/Device_encryption#Encryption_options_with_dm-crypt).
It is considered more secured and allows additional extensions. It also
comes with Argon2id as the default Password Based Key Derivation
Function (`--pbkdf` option). So it's important to provide this as an
option for Calamares in order to make Linux installs more secure, for
those who wish to encrypt their system.
This commit was tested on a custom Manjaro installer with:
- grub bootloader with the [argon patches](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub-improved-luks2-git).
- [rEFInd](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/REFInd) bootloader with
unencrypted `/boot` partition because rEFInd [doesn't support booting
from an encrypted volume](https://sourceforge.net/p/refind/discussion/general/thread/400418ac/)
**Important consideration for distribution maintainers**:
- You need to have compile flag `WITH_KPMCORE4API` on
- If you are shipping with grub by default please note that you need to
ship it with the Argon patches. Example on Arch Linux: [grub-improved-luks2-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub-improved-luks2-git)
- If `luksGeneration` is not found in partition.conf, it will default to
luks1
- Please test this on your own distribution as this was only tested on
Manjaro installer (see above).
Since this CMakeLists.txt writes out a C program, the formatting
is a bit weird; just start the written TU with a blank line to
make gersemi happy and keep the C-code aligned.
- FileSystem.h depends on KPMcore and only compiles when
KPMcore is present; it can use KPMcore identifiers.
- Global.h doesn't.
- Move the few functions introduced into Global.h that need
KPMcore, to FileSystem.h instead.
When KPMcore is present, the calamares::kpmcore wraps that
and provides suitable API detection. If KPMcore is not
present, the same interface library provides -DWITHOUT_KPMcore.
The distinction CalamaresUtils and Calamares is old-fashioned,
since we can use nested namespaces (and already do) for a lot
of things; make libcalamares/locale/ a bit more consistent
by using namespace Calamares::Locale for everything.
- this would be the first 3.3 release, scripts still needed
cleanup to handle all the changes in 3.3
- support "-alpha1" kinds of designation
- support more versioning information in the headers
