UbuntuExpress to-do list

  • yaboot installation
  • infer country from timezone and reconfigure locale accordingly
  • 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] (FabioMassimoDiNitto)

  • general gparted cleanup (DanielSilverstone)

  • do something better than the current mountpoint selector
  • include partitioning commit in main installation progress bar
  • use apt-setup to generate standard sources.list?
  • copy network configuration
  • lots of UI polishing:
    • move partitioning progress to installation progress bar
    • keymap screen needs a good polishing
    • username/password screen needs sprucing up
    • kill hostname question (possibly requires espresso-netcfg?)
    • autopartitioning screen is a quick hack, redo once partman lets us do better
    • excise remaining Spanish strings
    • back button doesn't always work properly
    • replace breadcrumbs with "Step x of y" in bottom left corner
    • probably more
  • sort out localisation in general

  • KDE frontend (specific to-do items can go here later) (JonathanRiddell)

done

  • API shake-up to allow debconffiltered coprocesses to run asynchronously
  • actually run debconffiltered coprocesses asynchronously so UI works smoothly
  • missing UI steps:
    • language

    • keymap (TollefFogHeen)

    • location/timezone (need to evaluate existing code, e.g. Evolution timezone widget)
    • "ready to install" summary
  • language pack support
  • automatic partitioning was broken
  • sort out espresso-grub trying to install grub from the network
  • 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
  • UI polishing:
    • separate windows for installation progress bar and farewell text
    • 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)
  • add glue to make preseeding work
