UbuntuExpress to-do list

  • missing UI steps:
    • language
    • keymap
    • location/timezone (need to evaluate existing code, e.g. Evolution timezone widget)
    • "ready to install" summary
  • language pack support
  • combine partman and partman_commit so that we don't have to start up the partitioner again
  • change partman control flow (including in d-i, probably) to better support [:UbuntuExpress/PartitioningTool:proposed multiple-disk UI]

  • do something better than the current mountpoint selector
  • move copy/configuration code to a separate debconffiltered process to avoid progress bar code duplication and so that it runs asynchronously without messing around with threads
  • rewrite copy/configuration progress bar display to match [:UbuntuExpress/GnomeUserInterface:specification]

  • lots of UI polishing:
    • move partitioning progress to installation progress bar
    • username/password screen needs sprucing up
    • kill hostname question
    • autopartitioning screen is a quick hack, redo once partman lets us do better
    • use a dialog from partman/confirm* instead of the weird "confirm automatic partitioning" checkbox
    • tell the user he needs to be root for the installer to work (if started as non-root)
    • probably more
  • add glue to make preseeding work
  • KDE frontend (specific to-do items can go here later)

done

  • API shake-up to allow debconffiltered coprocesses to run asynchronously
  • actually run debconffiltered coprocesses asynchronously so UI works smoothly
  • automatic partitioning was broken
  • UI polishing:
    • separate windows for installation progress bar and farewell text
