This can then be used by a privileged action to verify that packages
requested for installation are in fact valid. This slightly improves
security of those privileged actions.
Currently menu items are shown in alphabetical order in applications and
no clear order in system configuration. This is done using static
weights for menu items based on English names that does not work for
other locales.
Sorting can't be done at the time of adding menu items as users of
multiple locales may use the interface at the same time.
Implement a sorting mechanism based on existing order as well as labels
of menu item. This allows the flexiblity of grouping menu items in
future as it may be need for system configuration. In case of help menu
Remove sort order for all modules except for help menu as here we want
that specific order.
wget does not seem to support interface scoping for IPv6 addresses. For
example, http_proxy=http://[fe80::babe:ff:ffff:babe%eth0]:8118/ . Curl
supports this.
This fixes most of the failures for IPv6 related addresses. Hide the
last failure as there does not seem to be a proper fix from OS level:
when using link local addresses, if a hostname is resolved to IPv6 link
local address, it is not scoped to that interface. It can't properly be
used by any tool then.
- adapted all modules to not use views.ConfigurationView anymore
- removed templates that are not needed anymore
- no more implicit 'enabled' and 'get_status' functions in __init__.py files
- (more coherent/explicit use of Django functionality)
The Service object now offers handling services on a system level,
and gathering information whether it's enabled or running.
New methods: enable, disable, is_enabled, is_running;
For this it needs the correct (system-level) service name.
All of the methods can be overridden/customized.
This changes all modules to the new Service object and deletes
action scripts that are not required anymore.
- Installing dbcommon-pgsql and not install dbcommon-mysql does not
ensure that PostgreSQL is selected as the database for the
application. Set a debconf value to force selection of PostgreSQL.
- Minor styling fixes.
