test(linux): add regression tests for cli tools to autopkgtests 🍲
This change adds tests that execute km-package-install, km-package-list-installed, and km-package-uninstall and verifies the results. We have two sets of tests, for both gnome-shell and ibus-proper environments.
fix(linux): install schema during `keyman-config/build.sh install`
- improve documentation for installing km-config
- install schema during `keyman-config/build.sh install`
- remove schema during `keyman-config/build.sh uninstall`
- improve two scenarios when running `keyman-config/build.sh install`:
- on newer Ubuntu versions it's no longer possible to directly install Python packages, so we have to use a virtual environment. This change detects a virtual environment and installs into that.
- detect if we're running directly as `root` user instead of `sudo` and explicitly install into `/usr/local`.
- remove obsolete targets from Makefile. `make deb` no longer worked, so this change removes it. The other removed targets in the Makefile were just calling `./build.sh` and so are not really necessary and not used.
- update packaging documentation
Fixes: #14943
fix(linux): fix installing keyboard in shared area 🍲
Installing into the shared area (`/usr/local/share`) requires `root` permissions, so in order to install into the shared area the user has to call `km-package-install` with `sudo`. But we also want to add the keyboard to the user's list of available keyboards so that he can switch to it. That needs to be done in the user context. However, when `sudo` ran the command in the user context, the environment variables to connect to the user's session dbus were not set.
This change fixes this by passing `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` along with the `sudo -u <user>` call. Since `root` doesn't have this variable set (or at least not pointing to the user's dbus), we construct the dbus address based on the user's uid.
On newer Ubuntu versions (>=25.04) we also have to set `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`, at least when running the autopkgtests.
Fixes: #14911
refactor(linux): remove no-longer-needed Python 3.7 code
Our oldest supported Ubuntu version is 22.04 which comes with Python 3.10, so we can remove the code for Python 3.7.
This improves two scenarios when running `keyman-config/build.sh install`:
- on newer Ubuntu versions it's no longer possible to directly install
Python packages, so we have to use a virtual environment. This change
detects a virtual environment and installs into that.
- detect if we're running directly as `root` user instead of `sudo`
and explicitly install into `/usr/local`.

When running `km-package-install` with `sudo`, cache files owned by
root get created in the users directory. This makes it harder to
replace, and if the user tries to install the keyboard again under his
user account, installation will fail. This change prevents the use
of the cache when running with `sudo`.
