Calamares 3.3.4 released
Feb 27, 2024
In this release, process jobmodules – a particular kind of module
recognizable by type: job and interface: process in the descriptor
file – undergo a large change to resemble shellprocess more.
Users of process jobmodules are encouraged to double-check the Functionality of those modules in this release.
This release contains contributions from (alphabetically by first name):
- Adriaan de Groot

Core
- Process jobs (a job type provided by Calamares core) now share more
code with contextualprocess and shellprocess jobs. The execution
mechanism is the same, and always invokes the shell, whether the command
runs in the host or in the target system. It is no longer necessary to
add
/bin/shin the command key – this is always present.
Modules
- contextualprocess and shellprocess can now set environment variables
as part of the configuration. See shellprocess documentation for details.
This is optional, and does not do anything that could not already be done
by putting
export VAR=value ;in front of the command before. - partition fixed a bug with an uninitialized variable. (thanks Victor)
- shellprocess (and therefore also contextualprocess and process
jobmodules) now substitutes
${LANG}in commands with the language selected in the user-interface of Calamares.
