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.
Recent gettext version can extract and merge back strings from and to
various file formats, no need for intltool anymore.

Clarification about the use of AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION:
In configure.ac, specify the minimum gettext version we require, rather
than the exact one. This fixes a situation where the autoconf macros
used for gettext will be the latest available on the system (for
example, 0.20); but the copied-in Makefile.in.in will be for the exact
version specified in configure.ac (in this case, 0.19).
In that situation, the gettext build rules will error out at `make` time
with the message:
*** error: gettext infrastructure mismatch: using a Makefile.in.in
from gettext version 0.19 but the autoconf macros are from gettext
version 0.20
Avoid that by specifying a minimum version dependency rather than an
exact one. This should not cause problems as we haven’t committed any
generated or external gettext files into git, so each developer will end
up regenerating the build system for their system’s version of gettext,
as expected.
See the subsection of
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Version-Control-Issues.html
for more information.
Note that autoreconf currently doesn’t recognise
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION, so we must continue also using
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION. autopoint will ignore the latter if the former
is present. See
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2015-10/msg00000.html.
[lkundrak@v3.sk: Fixed the meson build, adjusted autogen.sh:
droped "|| exit 1", dropped call to aclocal,
dropped --copy from gtkdocize.]
Ups, we actually still require libuuid. Actually, we only need to
to build the example script `examples/C/glib/add-connection-gdbus.c`.
The proper solution would be to make this an optional dependency.
So far this was not yet done. Also, libuuid is really an ubiquitous
dependency on Linux, so it's not really a problem to have this build
dependency, even if it's just to build the examples.
This reverts commit c0a3947ff9.
On Fedora 33, we get it automatically because "clang" package
has an indirect (weak) dependency for clang-tools-extra. On
Fedora 34, that is no loger the case.
We need to explicitly install it.
These packages are also used during CI tests (in the checkpatch
stage). They are also used for formatting C/python code, and thus
useful for developing.
Install them as part of REQUIRED_PACKAGES script.
On CentOS 8, many devel packages are not available. Even after
# dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
certain devel packages are missing. Some of these (libndp-devel,
mobile-broadband-provider-info-devel, teamd-devel) we build in copr
([1]), but libpsl-devel and qt-devel are still missing.
Only install them optionally and allow failure for them not being
present.

REQUIRED_PACKAGES has two uses:
- to setup a system for developing NetworkManager. This installs
convenience packages like "cscope".
- to install the packages required for unit testing in gitlab-ci.
For gitlab-ci we should only install the packages that we actually
need.
Previously, dnf/yum used to ignore packages that didn't exist.
In Fedora 32, dnf starts to fail the entire command:
No match for argument: python-gobject-base
Error: Unable to find a match: python-gobject-base
Since this script is supposed to work with different RHEL/Fedora
versions, it's expected that not all packages are available everywhere.
Fix that, by installing packages that we know that they might be missing
one by one (and ignore the error).
We also generate a source tarball and artifact it.
Hence, we need proper gtk-doc links. This requires files in
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html for adding cross links. Install glib2-doc
package.
Note that in containers dnf is configured to not install documentation
files. We need to override that.
This removes libnm-glib, libnm-glib-vpn, and libnm-util for good.
The it has been replaced with libnm since NetworkManager 1.0, disabled
by default since 1.12 and no up-to-date distributions ship it for years
now.
Removing the libraries allows us to:
* Remove the horrible hacks that were in place to deal with accidental use
of both the new and old library in a single process.
* Relief the translators of maintenance burden of similar yet different
strings.
* Get rid of known bad code without chances of ever getting fixed
(libnm-glib/nm-object.c and libnm-glib/nm-object-cache.c)
* Generally lower the footprint of the releases and our workspace
If there are some really really legacy users; they can just build
libnm-glib and friends from the NetworkManager-1.16 distribution. The
D-Bus API is stable and old libnm-glib will keep working forever.

To run the tests with python3, we need python3-gobject.
Note that "contrib/fedora/REQUIRED_PACKAGES" is called by
"contrib/scripts/nm-ci-run.sh" script to install the packages
in Fedora.
From libnl3, we only used the helper function to parse/generate netlink
messages and the socket functions to send/receive messages. We don't
need an external dependency to do that, it is simple enough.
Drop the libnl3 dependency, and replace all missing code by directly
copying it from libnl3 sources. At this point, I mostly tried to
import the required bits to make it working with few modifications.
Note that this increases the binary size of NetworkManager by 4736 bytes
for contrib/rpm build on x86_64. In the future, we can simplify the code
further.
A few modifications from libnl3 are:
- netlink errors NLE_* are now in the domain or regular errno.
The distinction of having to bother with two kinds of error
number domains was annoying.
- parts of the callback handling is copied partially and unused parts
are dropped. Especially, the verbose/debug handlers are not used.
In following commits, the callback handling will be significantly
simplified.
- the complex handling of seleting ports was simplified. We now always
let kernel choose the right port automatically.
Add dhclient and iptables packages to build dependencies to satisfy
rpmbuild complaints:

Even Fedora is no longer shipping the WiMAX SDK, so it's likely we'll
eventually accidentally break some of the code in src/devices/wimax/
(if we haven't already). Discussion on the list showed a consensus for
dropping support for WiMAX.
So, remove the SDK checks from configure.ac, remove the WiMAX device
plugin and associated manager support, and deprecate all the APIs.
For compatibility reasons, it is still possible to create and save
WiMAX connections, to toggle the software WiMAX rfkill state, and to
change the "WIMAX" log level, although none of these have any effect,
since no NMDeviceWimax will ever be created.
nmcli was only compiling in support for most WiMAX operations when NM
as a whole was built with WiMAX support, so that code has been removed
now as well. (It is still possible to use nmcli to create and edit
WiMAX connections, but those connections will never be activatable.)
