+# - *localInstall*: this is used to call the package manager
+# to install a package from a path-to-a-package. This is
+# useful if you have a static package archive on the install media.
+# The *pacman* package manager is the only one to specially support
+# this operation (all others treat this the same as *install*).
+# - *remove*, *try_remove*: will call the package manager to
+# remove one or more packages. The remove target will
+# abort the whole installation if package-removal fails,
+# while try_remove carries on. Packages may be listed as

+# One additional key is recognized, to help netinstall out:
+# - *source*: ignored, does get logged
+# Any other key is ignored, and logged as a warning.
+#
+# There are two formats for naming packages: as a name or as package-data,
+# which is an object notation providing package-name, as well as pre- and
+# post-install scripts.
+#
+# Here are both formats, for installing vi. The first one just names the
+# package for vi (using the naming of the installed package manager), while
+# the second contains three data-items; the pre-script is run before invoking
+# the package manager, and the post-script runs once it is done.
+#
+# - install
+# - vi
+# - package: vi
+# pre-script: touch /tmp/installing-vi
+# post-script: rm -f /tmp/installing-vi
+#
+# The pre- and post-scripts are optional, but you cannot leave both out
+# if you do use the *package* key: using "package: vi" with neither script
+# option will trick Calamares into trying to install a package named
+# "package: vi", which is unlikely to work.
+#
+# The pre- and post-scripts are **not** executed by a shell unless you
+# explicitly invoke `/bin/sh` in them. The command-lines are passed
+# to exec(), which does not understand shell syntax. In other words:
+#
+# pre-script: ls | wc -l
+#
+# Will fail, because `|` is passed as a command-line argument to ls,
+# as are `wc`, and `-l`. No shell pipeline is set up, and ls is likely
+# to complain. Invoke the shell explicitly:
+#
+# pre-script: /bin/sh -c \"ls | wc -l\"
+#
+# The above note on shell-expansion applies to versions up-to-and-including
+# Calamares 3.2.12, but will change in future.
+#
+# Any package name may be localized; this is used to install localization
+# packages for software based on the selected system locale. By including
+# the string `LOCALE` in the package name, the following happens:
+#
+# - if the system locale is English (any variety), then the package is not
+# installed at all,
+# - otherwise `$LOCALE` or `${LOCALE}` is replaced by the 'lower-cased' BCP47
+# name of the 'language' part of the selected system locale (not the
+# country/region/dialect part), e.g. selecting "nl_BE" will use "nl"
+# here.
+#
+# Take care that just plain `LOCALE` will not be replaced, so `foo-LOCALE` will
+# be left unchanged, while `foo-$LOCALE` will be changed. However, `foo-LOCALE`
+# **will** be removed from the list of packages (i.e. not installed), if
+# English is selected. If a non-English locale is selected, then `foo-LOCALE`
+# will be installed, unchanged (no language-name-substitution occurs).
+#
+# The following installs localizations for vi, if they are relevant; if
+# there is no localization, installation continues normally.
+#
+# - install
+# - vi-$LOCALE
+# - package: vi-${LOCALE}
+# pre-script: touch /tmp/installing-vi
+# post-script: rm -f /tmp/installing-vi
+#
+# When installing packages, Calamares will invoke the package manager
+# with a list of package names if it can; package-data prevents this because
+# of the scripts that need to run. In other words, this:
+#
+# - install:
+# - vi
+# - binutils
+# - package: wget
+# pre-script: touch /tmp/installing-wget
+#
+# This will invoke the package manager three times, once for each package,
+# because not all of them are simple package names. You can speed up the
+# process if you have only a few pre-scripts, by using multiple install targets:
+#
+# - install:
+# - vi
+# - binutils
+# - install:
+# - package: wget
+# pre-script: touch /tmp/installing-wget
+#
+# This will call the package manager once with the package-names "vi" and
+# "binutils", and then a second time for "wget". When installing large numbers
+# of packages, this can lead to a considerable time savings.
