This module allows the generation of the initramfs in Alpine Linux based
systems (excluding postmarketOS). Very bare bones, but then again it
doesn't need much. It uses the Alpine Linux tool "mkinitfs" to do the
job.
module builds, installs and runs, connections are not working yet.
UserQmlViewstep.cpp/h are from PR https://github.com/calamares/calamares/pull/1356
sections are commented out to make the module build, but help is needed to get those 2 files corrected.
config names used in usersq.qml are guessed from users/Config.cpp
debug window shows correct entries in GS, and under the module tab, usersq.conf is read
as should too. Running shows most config used in users.qml are not registered/wrong,
many entries like: qrc:/usersq.qml:228:13: Unable to assign [undefined] to bool
It is understood not all needed from the users module has moved to Config.cpp yet,
but doing the PR now, since it runs, doesn't crash cala and help is needed to further implement.
- The TZ widget uses a different coordinate system (mapping lat and lon
to pixel locations, and then calculating Manhattan distance from
that), so needs a different distance function.
- Simplify code: there's just one "closest TZ" function.
- create directories for new tests ahead of the tests themselves;
this **can** still cause problems if a test is run standalone.
- if creating the grub-dir at runtime is necessary, be informative
if it fails.
- the default_dir was only stored in modify_grub_default() to
create the directory if needed; move that functionality to
the get_grub_config_paths() function (and drop the "s",
since it now returns just one).
Go over the locale module again:
- new models that avoid weird casts and inconvenient iteration
- shared timezone data
- simple sorting and filtering
- simplify the map / QML version
FIXES#1476FIXES#1426
- refactor into some free functions (out of the lambda's for connecting)
- introduce new method to call from onLeave(), matching previous
widget behavior
- we can do GeoIP and GeoNames lookups, **or**
- use Calamares's internal GeoIP lookup and country / city hints.
The online version is much more accurate, but costs more lookups;
in these examples, set it all to "offline" and document what needs
to change (code edit) to use the online version.
It's probably a good beginner job to introduce a bool in localeq.qml
to switch the behaviors.
- Config has suitable strings for displaying TZ information.
Use them and automatic bindings. Don't update the strings manually.
- Suggest online or offline TZ lookups based on what the distro wants.
Edit the QML to pick online lookups (needs access to the geonames
service, though).
- Drop the variables that point at config and geoip: the Config
object has a currentLocation, which is filled in by both the
configuration and any GeoIP lookup -- it doesn't have city
or country information though.
- status is a longer phrase
- name is a short human-readable name
- code is the internal code
Code that writes its own "Timezone set to" messages can use
the name, rather than the status.
- when no location has been set at all, there's no sensible TZ
to report; just leave it blank. In *practice* you won't hit this
code from the Calamares UI before a location has been set, because
the Config object is instantiated and then immediately configured,
but from tests or unusual UIs it could be.
- needs some massaging because Config otherwise depends on
ModuleManager which is a UI class (for the Reasons),
but we already have a BUILD_AS_TEST define for that purpose.
- demonstrate a nullptr deref.
- The Config object now uses the re-done models and timezone data
- most of the properties of the locale Config are unchanged
- much less complication in extracting data from the zones model
- there **is** another source of information about the CPU,
so in the test use that to cross-check what hostCPU() says.
NB: it's probably a good idea to fall back on the same file
in hostCPU() for better accuracy.
- get username, password etc. from the config object, not the page
- jobs now depend entirely on config
- handle logic of "what's the root password" in Config
- The configuration for writing the hostname (to /etc/hostname,
to /etc/hosts and possibly to systemd-hostname) is read-only,
because it comes from the config file and won't change after.
- add the "reuse user password for root" setting to Config,
make the UI page follow that setting.
- add the require-strong-password default and toggle settings to
Config; this is not well-checked yet.
On the widget / UI side, connect checkboxes only if they are
visible; refactor reuse-user-password-for-root settings.
The TODO said it was unused: it **is** used, but only in
a very limited scope. Drop it from jobs where it wasn't
useful (e.g. those that just return prettyName(), outside
of the partition module).
- no need for the definition to be in public header, move to implementation
- while here, sort the members and private methods
- add a makeJob() to add jobs to the queue
- having a struct with an obtuse API for adding jobs-that-need-to-happen-
to-this-device is just not good for maintainability.
- break the build by making things private.
