  1. This PR also lists 31 (not just 25) Kolibri languages for variable kolibri_language within those local_vars.yml files that are designed to be human-readable documentation. Building on;

  2. And preserves Kolibri's legacy .deb install method for both testing and emergency override purposes (if you manually specify kolibri_deb_url e.g. in roles/kolibri/defaults/main.yml) as discussed here:

  3. Unfortunately different PPA logic was necessitated on Debian-like OS's (codename: focal) — as compared to Ubuntu-like OS's. But both should work. As outlined in official guidelines: https://kolibri.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install/ubuntu-debian.html#install-from-ppa-repository

  4. This PR was tested on 64-bit RasPiOS Lite on Raspberry Pi 4.

Tangentially related is Kolibri 0.15.6's recent fix of peer-importing of channels e.g. from nearby IIAB machines with URL's like http://box/kolibri :

  1. This PR was also tested on Ubuntu Server 22.04 on x86_64 (VM) :

    It was EXTREMELY SLOW the 1st time apt install kolibri ran (using codename: jammy), taking 4 min 47 sec (1st test). Then 13 sec (2nd test) and 13 sec (3rd test). All on a fast PC that is much faster than any Raspberry Pi!

    In comparison: this same apt install kolibri step (using codename: focal) took just 43 sec (1st test) and 53 sec (2nd test) and 50 sec (3rd test) when tested on 64-bit RasPiOS Lite on a Raspberry Pi 4.

It's almost as if the jammy version of Kolibri's installer had to be pulled out of cold storage (why almost 5min !?) from http://ppa.launchpad.net/learningequality/kolibri/ubuntu/dists/jammy/ ?

But I guess it's not worth worrying about — if this doesn't happen often (hopefully!)

So I'll go ahead and merge this:

Such that we can gather feedback from others, as to how long it takes them to install Kolibri onto Ubuntu-like OS's (hopefully not 5min each time!!?)
