Fedora Setup v2.5.0

Release 2.5.0

This is the longest I've ever taken to release a version. Highlights of this version include:

• gdm settings through gnome_settings.sh.
• A few more packages to install
• Removed the clunky keybindings from gnome_settings.sh.

Changelog

Added

• fedora_setup.sh:
  • Given that now some post-install.d processes use child subshells to run things in the
    background, a wait command was implemented in the final clean-up step so the user doesn't
    close the shell while some things are still running.
• dnf.conf:
  • This file's contents were previously held in the fedora_setup.sh script, but are now held in
    this sample file to simplify code maintainability.
• gnome_settings.sh:
  • The script now configures the new GNOME Text Editor.
  • The script can now configure gdm via the /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/10-settins.ini file.
• packages.txt:
  • Added RPM Packaging in the development category.
  • Added Transmission and Fragments in the Network category.
  • Added GNOME Web (epiphany) in the Network category.
  • Added Evolution in the Office category.
  • Added GNOME Console in the Utilities category.
• remove.txt:
  • Added GNOME_Help to the list.

Changed

• fedora_setup.sh:
  • There were many "behind the scenes" performance optimizations. Including the optimization of
    the Separate function, the parallelization of some tasks and simplfying some commands.
  • The contents of dnf.conf are now held in a sample file, instead of in the script.
• post-install.d:
  • Many of the files now use child subshells ( .. ) & to speed up the setup by running some
    things in the background.
• packages.txt:
  • Development Tools no longer lists git and git-lfs for installation, as now they have their
    own entry in the list.
  • GNOME Builder no longers installs gnome-software-devel.
  • Kernel development no longer lists rpm-build as RPM Packaging is now its own entry in the
    list.
• sources.d:
  • Some of the .repo files generated from the info in this folder will now use $basearch in dnf
    to show the architecture being used.
• git.sh:
  • The alias slog now does not specify the number of commits to show, now the user can specify
    how many commits they want to show.
  • The now-ignored alias was renamed to list-ignored because the keyword list better explains
    what the alias does.
  • The placeholders for all log --format aliases were updated to use %C(auto) instead of
    %C(r).
  • The alias list-ignored now uses the option -o because of an update to git.
• .zshrc:
  • Changed the way coloring works for all the ls aliases. ls itselft is now aliased to ls -BhF --group-directories-first, raw ls can still be used in the shell by typing \ls.
• zsh.sh:
  • The script now makes a copy of .zshrc in /etc/skel/.zshrc.
  • The script now configures useradd to use zsh as the default shell when the user changes their
    default shell to zsh.
• init.vim:
  • The filetype gitcommit was added to an autocommand group to display colorcolumns at columns
    50 and 70 to help keep git commit messages at a reasonable length.
  • The color of the mode in the statusline was changed to blue.
  • Allow neovim to use the guicursor.
• .vimrc:
  • The filetype gitcommit was added to an autocommand group to display colorcolumns at columns
    50 and 70 to help keep git commit messages at a reasonable length.
  • The color of the mode in the statusline was changed to blue.
• packages.txt:
  • Removed Git from the Development category since it comes preinstalled.
  • Meson and Ninja Build now come together.
• back_me_up.sh:
  • The script was updated to be able to handle drives in /run/media/user as well as in /media.
  • The script now syncs the drive to make unmounting it after using the script faster.
• mc_server_builder.sh:
  • The version was updated to 1.19.2.

Fixed

• fedora_setup.sh:
  • The script now doesn't miss the install upgrades step because of extra steps between checking
    for upgrades and prompting the user to install them.
• zsh.sh:
  • Use the script to fix the way /etc/zprofile handles /etc/profile.d.
• flatpak.sh:
  • The user remote installation was fixed, it used sudo to install flathub for the user which
    resulted in root getting a user remote, instead of the current user.
• gnome_settings.sh:
  • Removed the keybindings configurations as they were rather clunky.
  • GNOME Terminal is no longer configured twice.

Removed

• ufw.sh:
  • The script was removed because it wasn't used.
• git.sh:
  • The alias mrc was removed because it is only useful in very rare situations.
