Draft: install-script: new Mageia autoinst jeos script

Pino Toscano requested to merge pinotree/osinfo-db:mageia-autoinst-jeos into main

Create a new jeos install script for Mageia using the automated installation method provided by DrakX [1].

[1] https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Auto_inst

Use it in mageia9, and add a small test for it.

How to test:

  • in mageia9, add an installation tree like the following:
      <tree arch="x86_64">
        <url>http://distro.ibiblio.org/mageia/distrib/9/x86_64/</url>
        <kernel>isolinux/x86_64/vmlinuz</kernel>
        <initrd>isolinux/x86_64/all.rdz</initrd>
      </tree>
    it is needed because currently Mageia does not have a generic mirror redirector: users have to pick their own mirror manually, and we cannot set one in osinfo-db (otherwise it would "defeat" the point of a mirror)
  • start an unattended installation with virt-install or GNOME boxes

TODO:

  • test l10n/locale parameters more
  • figure out more the compssListLevel & compssUsersChoice options
  • test the installation more, and tweak the script as needed
