Design notes
Calamares is currently split as follows:
- libcalamares - the backend 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);
- libcalamaresui - the frontend 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 backend library;
- calamares - the main executable,
- a thin wrapper around libcalamaresui, starts up and plugs together all the parts.
