For [connection*] and [device*] sections, any suffix is allowed in
the group.
However (at least for configuration snippets we ship upstream), we
want to give a suffix that matches the name of the configuration
snippet.
It seems more common to use [connection-*] instead of [connection.].
See also "examples/nm-conf.d/*.conf" and "15-carrier-timeout.conf" file
which contains a [device-15-carrier-timeout] section.
Note that this file (in Fedora) is not configuration (installed in
/usr/lib). It is thus not problematic to modify.

With the deprecation of autotools, use meson by default. For the moment,
it's still possible to build with autotools passing -a/--autotools.
Additionally, as we allow to specify different build directories other
than './build', let's not asume that the user wants to overwrite it
by default. Instead, the script will asume ./build if the user doesn't
specify the build directory, but only if it doesn't exist. If it does,
the user will have to force overwritting it with `--meson ./build`.
Instead of forcing to use ./build directory, let's make the the user
specify what directory he wants to use. This will allow to have multiple
build directories with different configurations as meson is designed to
allow, without having to overwrite the existing build one.
Note: here I refer to the numbers in a version as MAJOR.MINOR.MICRO.
Having stable and development releases do make sense for the MINOR
version, because we maintain separate branches for them and they
evolve separately. We have 1.47.z where we put all the changes so
anyone can pick the latest development release and test it. At the
same time, we have 1.46.z with the latest stable released version.
However, it does not make sense to have 1.46.2 and 1.46.3-dev because
the latter is not a development version. It is identical to 1.46.2,
only the version number has been bumped, there are no changes to test.
When we add commits, we will be actually testing 1.46.3-dev + some
commits, which is exactly the same as testing 1.46.2 + some commits.
So, basically, someone can use the releases of a development BRANCH,
like 1.47.4, to test the development version of NM. But using a
development MICRO version is exactly the same as using a
non-development one.
From now on, we will just increment the MICRO version each time we do a
release on a stable branch and won't create the '-dev' tag. Update
release.sh to do it this way.
We are planning on completely dropping Autotools in the future.
This breaks the build process with an argument to ignore the deprecation,
so that anyone building NM is warned of this change.
Recent rpmbuild will delete the source directory on successful build.
With `makerepo.sh` that is bad, because we want that directory with the
git history. Pass "--noclean" to avoid that.
Install a configuration snippet on Fedora 40+, that sets the default for
"wifi.cloned-mac-address" to "stable-ssid" (otherwise, the built-in default
is "preserve").
This will mean, that on Wi-Fi profiles that don't explicitly override
the property "wifi.cloned-mac-address", a stable address is generated.
The benefit is, that Fedora will randomize the MAC address by default.
Note that this also affects all pre-existing Wi-Fi profiles, that don't
explicitly configure the property in the profile. Depending on how you
see it, this is desirable. Randomization should be done, unless the user
opts-out (not the other way around).
Note that setting "wifi.cloned-mac-address=stable-ssid" is similar to
setting a stable ID "${NETWORK_SSID}" and "wifi.cloned-mac-address=stable".
The difference is that the latter also affects other properties, like
- "ipv6.addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy"
- "{ethernet,wifi}.cloned-mac-address=stable"
- "ipv4.dhcp-client-id=stable"
- "ipv6.dhcp-duid=stable-{llt,ll,uuid}"
- "{ipv4,ipv6}.iaid=stable"
Especially with "ipv6.addr-gen-mode=stable", changing the stable ID
would mean that also all IPv6 addresses change. We want to avoid that by
only changing the cloned-mac-address to "stable-ssid".
This means, after upgrade to F40, different MAC addresses will be used
on most users' Wi-Fi. This means, DHCP might hand out different IP
addresses, sessions might expire, and configuration that depended on the
previous MAC address will be affected.

Now that we no longer test on CentOS7, we also have no more tests that
build using Python2.
Note that build with Python2 is currently broken already (which would be
fixable).
Drop Python2 too.
Existing Python scripts still use a common subset of Python2 and
Python3. They can be improved to use Python3 features in the future.
The license identifier was updated for the main package, but not for
libnm which overrides it to LGPL 2.1 or later. Update it too.

network-online.target should not be reached before nm-cloud-setup
completes configuring the network, which may make user service get
started before the network is fully configured.
Setting nm-cloud-setup.service as "Before=network-online.target" would
maybe have already achieved that. However, also use a pre-up dispatcher
script, so that the device activation in NetworkManager is also waiting
for nm-cloud-setup to complete.

Originally, the package was called vala-devel (it still is on CentOS7).
Then it was renamed to libvala-devel, but keeping a Provides.
On Fedora 39, the Provides was dropped. Workaround.
- We need to fetch more entries per page. 100 is the maximum without
pagination, but that is enough for us.
- Previously, we checked all stages. Now, let's skip the "prep" and "tier3" stages.
This change should work both with old and new pipelines.
A "minor" release can still be the latest release. It depends
on which minor release you do. The script isn't smart enough
to understand the difference, so make the hint a bit clearer.
"configure-for-system.sh" is supposed to be in sync with
NetworkManager.spec. Update for the recent changes.
Also add a make/ninja call at the end. Almost always we want to build
after the configure.
[thaller@redhat.com: I introduced this bug when taking the original patch].
Fixes: 820f6f3a4a ('contrib/rpm: sync obsoletes_{initscripts_updown,ifcfg_rh} version')
Initially, when we obsoleted {initscripts_updown,ifcfg_rh}, the package
versions that we build from this upstream spec file differed from what
we put into Fedora/RHEL.
By now, this is long gone, and for upstream package builds we don't care
to accurately track the version, when using upstream/copr builds. Just
sync the version to what they are in Fedora/RHEL.
