Description

feature parity blocking:

OEM Mode Installer · Issue #871 · calamares/calamares · GitHub bespoke implementation in oem-configs
support swapfiles · Issue #1166 · calamares/calamares · GitHub
support hostnamed for hostname setting · Issue #1140 · calamares/calamares · GitHub Blocking OEM, hacky workaround in oem-config profile.
networkmanager setup page · Issue #946 · calamares/calamares · GitHub Blocking l10n installation and oem setup when no ethernet connection is available. Major blocker due to slimbook and pinebook. OEM aspect worked around by having plasma-nm in the oem-config profile.
ability to "preseed" & lock values · Issue #942 · calamares/calamares · GitHub Blocking OEM. Need way to force oem username (and uid; uid hackily forced by oem-prepare profile).
dynamic l10n package listing · Issue #924 · calamares/calamares · GitHub Blocking globally. Somewhat reliably solved by standard desktop profile running a shell process to install l10n packages.
Proprietary driver installation page and/or tickbox somewhere · Issue #1172 · calamares/calamares · GitHub Also kind of blocking on account of laptop devices often having need of the proprietary bcmwl driver to be useful. Possibly not quite as blocking as everything else. Needs calamares-settings for packagechooser module combined with a suitable contextualprocess module. Also needs (open?)QA to make sure offline installs don't implode if they want proprietary drivers.
Encryption T11107 which we do not enable for cala right now. Not technically blocking since we didn't actively support it, still a feature regression from a user's POV.
