distutils was needed previous to the switch to pygobject, now the gobject library marks that package as needed if necessary, so there is no need for adding it explicitly
virtualenv is faster to install packages it was particularly notorious on numpy, but since i've dropped numpy and matplotlib, it doesn't make much difference and adds unnecesary dependencies
* Changes to allow using cage-kiosk
Wayland support close#1289
* installer: many improvements
* installer: add notes about wayland status
* deps: don't pull xserver with updates
some GPIO/SPI screen installer put the config but not the driver, this causes a failure to start, remove said config to allow the more standarized fbdev to work
i have no taken into account old distros that have python 2 as default since python 2 has not been supported since 2020
keep in mind that python 3.7 is out of support
and i will push KS requeriments to 3.9 when buster enters EOL mid-next year (bullseye has 3.9)
3.8 will be out of support close to buster, it will be skipped
so anyone on legacy distros will not be able to update KS past july 2024
pass the req file to pip (secuential install was needed for Vext)
fixes#812
some systems don't have wheels and need compilation, the packages are needed for those cases
The installer now catchs apt errors
FBturbo is now optional and FBdev is used as fallback
install xserver-xorg-legacy but do not force it, it's usually required for a lot of screens, but not 100%
hide pip update warnings, the new version broke stuff.
more granularity and steps to what's being installed, should make it easier to debug if something goes wrong
* Fix vext.gi error
The problem occurs because vext and vext.gi are installed at the same time
we need to install the requirements in order
* Simplify path (the env was activated)
* Colorize output
* Abort if pip exit is not clean
