Summary : Installer from a live CD/DVD/USB to disk
Description :
Calamares is a distribution-independent installer framework, designed to
install

installation program based on Qt 5. This package includes the Calamares
framework and the required configuration files to produce a working replacement
for Anaconda's liveinst.

Update Information:

A security update that fixes Calamares bug CAL-405:
https://calamares.io/bugs/browse/CAL-405 When installing with a LUKS-encrypted
`/` partition, Calamares was always creating a keyfile to decode `/` and
storing
it in the initramfs. It did that even with an unencrypted separate `/boot`
partition. As a result, the keyfile would be stored in cleartext on the `/boot`
partition, and it was possible to unlock the `/` partition without ever
entering
a passphrase. This completely defeated the security of LUKS. Please note that
this only affects manual partitioning. The automatic partitioning never leaves
`/boot` unencrypted (and it is, in fact, recommended to also always encrypt
`/boot` when doing manual partitioning). This update fixes the `dracutlukscfg`
module to not add the keyfile to `install_items` in the `dracut` configuration
(so that `dracut` will not include it onto the initramfs) if `/boot` is
separate
and unencrypted.
