Description

This ticket is about the iteration aimed at 2.6 of the improvements I’ve been working on as part of Bug #10720. The goal is to get the installer robustness & debugging improvements produced there into 2.6, so that they benefit human users even though they might not be good enough to mark the tests as non-fragile on Jenkins yet (and close Bug #10720).

Sorry, the Git history is awful (reverts and reverts of reverts all the way), so I recommend looking at the diff first, and using git blame/log/show only if that’s needed to understand specific changes.

Note that this review’n’merge is also about Bug #11590.

Alan: you might want to have a look at the bugfix/10720-installer-freezes-on-jenkins branch on the Installer repo, since you’re the one of us who’s the most at ease with udisks crazyness. FYI these changes make Tails Installer work on Jenkins, while it has been failing 100% of the time since 6 months there.

I’d like to ease reviewing for the 2.6 RM, and to get automated tests running about the combination of all these changes ASAP in the 2.6 dev cycle. So, I’ve merged this work, along with the other major branches I’m proposing for 2.6, into the feature/from-intrigeri-for-2.6 integration branch (Jenkins builds and tests.
