Pier Luigi Fiorini 4cd217e4b6 Revert "Raise CMake requirement to 3.0+" 
This doesn't work when the partition manager is enabled because it
uses ECM and ECMConfig.cmake fails with an error if the required
CMake is not less than 2.8.13

Added a note here to remember about this.

This reverts commit 2020eb0eb3.

Calamares

Distribution-independent installer framework

  • Python >= 3.3
  • Boost.Python >= 1.55.0

Additional dependencies, only for the partitioning module:

  • extra-cmake-modules
  • kconfig (part of KF5)
  • solid (part of KF5)
  • kcoreaddons (part of KF5)
  • ki18n (part of KF5)

Building

$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
$ make

Design notes

Calamares is currently split as follows:

  • libcalamares - the backend library,
  • only depends on QtCore, yaml-cpp, Python and Boost.Python,
  • provides a job queue and generic jobs,
  • comes with 3 job interfaces: C++, Python and process (the latter is very limited);
  • libcalamaresui - the frontend library,
  • same dependencies as libcalamares, plus QtWidgets and other Qt modules,
  • comes with a module loading system, for different kinds of plugins,
  • themeable so branding can be done easily (plugin-based, TBD),
  • presents a bunch of pages in a scripted order, enqueues jobs in the backend library;
  • calamares - the main executable,
  • a thin wrapper around libcalamaresui, starts up and plugs together all the parts.
