### 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).
|
|
|
|
|
2. __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.
|
|
|
|
|
3. __calamares__ - The main executable.
|
|
|
|
|
* A thin wrapper around libcalamaresui; starts up and plugs together all the parts.
