Adriaan de Groot 57fa51ecd9 [unpackfs] Simplify progress reporting more
If there's thousands of files in a squashfs (e.g. 400000 like on
some ArcoLinux ISOs) then progress would be reported every
4000 files, which can take quite some time to write. Reduce
file_chunk_count to at most 500, so that progress is reported
more often even if that wouldn't lead to a visible change
in the percentage progress: instead we **do** get a change
in files-transferred numbers.

- The total weight is only needed by the UnpackOperation,
  not by each entry.
- Use a chunk size of 107 so that the number-complete seems busy:
  the whole larger-or-smaller chunk size doesn't really matter.
- The progress-report was missing the weight of the current
  module, so would report way too low if weight > 1. This affects
  ArcoLinux configurations where one entry is huge and one is a
  single file, so weights 50 and 1 are appropriate.

Calamares is a distribution-independent system installer, with an advanced partitioning feature for both manual and automated partitioning operations. Calamares is designed to be customizable by distribution maintainers without need for cumbersome patching, thanks to third party branding and external modules support.

Target Audience

Calamares is a Linux installer; users who install Linux on a computer will hopefully use it just once, to install their Linux distribution. Calamares is not a "ready to use" application: distributions apply a huge amount of customisation and configuration to Calamares, and the target audience for this repository is those distributions, and the people who make those Linux distro's.

Calamares has some generic user documentation for end-users, but most of what we have is for distro developers.

Getting Calamares

Clone Calamares from GitHub. The default branch is called calamares.

git clone https://github.com/calamares/calamares.git

Calamares is a KDE-Frameworks and Qt-based, C++14, CMake-built application. The dependencies are explainged in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Contributing to Calamares

Calamares welcomes PRs. New issues are welcome, too. There are both the Calamares core repository (this one), and an extensions* repository (Calamares extensions.

Contributions to code, modules, documentation, the wiki and the website are all welcome. There is more information in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

Join the Conversation

GitHub Issues are one place for discussing Calamares if there are concrete problems or a new feature to discuss.

Regular Calamares development chit-chat happens on old-school IRC (no registration required). Responsiveness is best during the day in Europe, but feel free to idle.
