demmm be29755230 add URL option in greeting page 
URL is a variable set in branding.desc, distros cna link to a Known Issues page
text for the URL is also possible to set in branding, known issues is default
advantage is any text possible as distros see fit
disadvantage, not part of translated strings
if most agree, Known Issues can be set as hard coded text, not in branding.desc

Design Notes

Calamares is currently split as follows:

  1. libcalamares - The back-end 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).
  1. libcalamaresui - The front-end 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 back-end library.
  1. calamares - The main executable.
  • A thin wrapper around libcalamaresui; starts up and plugs together all the parts.
