Subject: [mojosetup] Staging MojoSetup repository on GitLab
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.21.2009291129050.16627@amboise.dolphin>


I have pushed a repository on GitLab with the patches and fixes I have 
in my tree. I'm hoping it can provide a better view of what's coming and 
maybe be useful to someone while the patches are hopefully being merged 
into the mainline MojoSetup codebase.

  https://gitlab.com/fgouget/mojosetup

The GitLab repository contains about 48 patches.
Here is a short summary of the improvements and fixes:

* The selection of the GUI backend, particularly between GTK 2 and
  GTK 3, no longer causes crashes.
* The translation no longer causes the GTK 3 GUI to crash.
* The GUI no longer freezes when waiting for an external process.
* The installer can now recommend installing in /opt as per the FHS.
* Fixed upgrades so the filesystem contains the same files as after a 
  fresh installation. In particular this includes deleting obsolete 
  files.
* Upgrades no longer ask for permission to modify every single file from 
  the previous installation.
* Upgrades now upgrade the uninstaller too.
* Uninstalling after an upgrade no longer leaves files behind.
* Improved the rollback when canceling an installation or upgrade.
* Added the following attributes:
  - recommended_full_destinations which allows recommending installation
    or upgrades in non-default locations.
  - checkdst() which allows validating the installation directory.
* Improved localization support and completed the Simplified Chinese
  translation.
* Miscellaneous other fixes, including all compilation warnings.

I've pulled all of these into the main repository now.

If you would like write access and don't mind using Mercurial, I'm happy 
to set this up for you, since you are clearly more focused on this 
project than I am at the moment, and doing good work.

(Otherwise, I can keep pulling in patches on request. Whatever works for 
you is fine by me.)
