[Bug 1035806] [NEW] Please support customization of ubiquity-slideshow through defaults builder

 

Public bug reported:

Many teams would like the ability to customize the installer slideshow,
enhancing existing screenshots and slides with translations and special
content.

At this point, ubiquity-slideshow supports customization with an
optional directory located at /usr/share/ubiquity-
slideshow/slides/extra. This directory contains any customized slides or
screenshots, for any locales that are supported by Ubiquity, placed like
the following:

extra/C/screenshots/usc.jpg
extra/it/gethelp.html
extra/it/screenshots/browse.jpg

This can be done easily enough by hand.
There is one other very important file which needs to be generated automatically: extra/directory.jsonp.

To complete this feature, we need to make it really easy for people to
create the extra slides directory using defaults builder.
