- For testing purposes, it's useful to load a module externally
and then register it to the ModuleManager (this hands off ownership).
- Refactor overall module loading to use the exposed single-module method.
- It is the requirements model (checking) that reports progress, and now
the model is accessible (ask for it with requirementsModel(), make the
messages come from there.
- The architecture of letting someone build up a list of requirements
from data emitted by the ModuleManager is broken: if it gets loaded
later, it will miss data; passing around complicated objects is
no fun anyway. Get rid of it, on the way to "ModuleManager has
its own model of requirements".
- Give the ModuleManager a RequirementsModel -- that is the source
of truth about the module-requirements of the modules managed
by that particular ModuleManager.
- Let the RequirementsChecker operate on a given RequirementsModel.
- the checker only collects and calls requirements; it has no
UI component, and only manages data (and a thread to do the
checking). Move it out of the UI library.
- this function lives in Module -- and is the only thing typing
Module to the ViewSteps and JobTypes. Split it out into its
own funciton. Nothing else in Module needs to befriend the
ViewSteps, so we move the friend declaration around a bit
as well.
- while here, apply coding style.
This is prep-work for moving module to libcalamares.
- Different libraries should have different EXPORTs, so that
you can IMPORT one while building the other. Reported (and
kindly explained) by Kevin Kofler.
- Stick to one header file, though.
While here, update copyright on file.
- The scattering of DLL export macro's is kind of useless;
there are several headers, and then the export macro isn't
even applied consistently. Just drop the one for UI exports,
which was only used in libcalamaresui.
This is an ugly hack, using Bill Auger's support for Job weights.
The unpackfs job is arbitrarily awarded a weight of 12. That makes it
(in a Netrunner install) use progress from 12% to 40% or so, overall,
as all the files are unpacked.
Also fixes bug reported by Kevin Kofler that unpackfs was only reporting
progress when it hit an exact multiple of 100 (instead of over 100).
SEE #1176
- this is currently just an alias for QVariantMap, which is
the type already in use.
- future plan is to tighten this up and have an actual
Descriptor class that carries only the information
actually needed for the module descriptor.
- Replace stringlist with a stronger-typed list of InstanceKey objects
- Move smashing-that-to-stringlist into consumers of the list
(just one, the debug window)
- introduce NamedEnum lookup tables for interface and type
- drop "final" and "virtual" from methods that don't make
sense as virtual
- shuffle declaration order so the virtual API for modules
sits together
- Trying to get away from untyped strings with special meaning.
- The "split identifier" branch tried the same thing, but
was duplicating the existing InstanceKey.h work.
- If a module exists, and has unmet dependencies, then
that is only a problem if the module itself is *used*.
Merely existing is ok.
This triggers on FreeBSD, where partition isn't built, but
bootloader depends on partition -- so you can never start
Calamares on FreeBSD, because bootloader depends on something
non-existent.
Relax the check: just warn, and only fail if a non-existent
module is used (all those with unmet dependencies are considered
non-existent).
- Calamares scans **all** subdirs of the module-directory
for a module.desc and complains about those that don't have
a module.desc.
- For ./calamares -d runs from the build-directory, this
leads to a few complaints when some plugins have been
ignored (and so no module.desc is generated for them).
- Things in libcalamares/ subdirectories are namespaced
according to that subdirectory (sometimes in namespace
Calamares, sometimes CalamaresUtils). Do that in modulesystem/ too.
- this is not entirely straightfoward, since we need
different constructor arguments for the objects
Calamares creates (no QVariantList& args, in particular).
Implement our own registerPlugin() and createInstance()
for that.
- work around a bug in K_PLUGIN_FACTORY_DECLARATION_WITH_BASEFACTORY
- Give each check a name (based on the module it runs for, so
there might be overlaps when there are multiple module instances).
- Log the remaining checks each time the timeout fires, to help
figure out which one is hanging.
