What's actually needed here is an explaination of how the license
applies along with the explanation where to find the full text.
Also, the libnm documentation was lacking the licensing information
altogether. Fix fixes it too.
For now only add the core settings, no peers' data.
To support peers and the allowed-ips of the peers is more complicated
and will be done later. It's more complicated because these are nested
lists (allowed-ips) inside a list (peers). That is quite unusual and to
conveniently support that in D-Bus API, in keyfile format, in libnm,
and nmcli, is a effort.
Also, it's further complicated by the fact that each peer has a secret (the
preshared-key). Thus we probably need secret flags for each peer, which
is a novelty as well (until now we require a fixed set of secrets per
profile that is well known).
We named the types inconsistently:
- "p2p-wireless" ("libnm-core/nm-setting-p2p-wireless.h")
- "p2p" ("libnm/nm-p2p-peer.h")
- "p2p-wifi" ("src/devices/wifi/nm-device-p2p-wifi.h")
It seems to me, "libnm/nm-p2p-peer.h" should be qualified with a "Wi-Fi"
specific name. It's not just peer-to-peer, it's Wi-Fi P2P.
Yes, there is an inconsistency now, because there is already
"libnm/nm-access-point.h".
It seems to me (from looking at the internet), that the name "Wi-Fi P2P"
is more common than "P2P Wi-Fi" -- although both are used. There is also
the name "Wi-Fi Direct". But it's not clear which name should be
preferred here, so stick to "Wi-Fi P2P".
In this first commit only rename the files. The following commit will
rename the content.
Add a new 'match' setting containing properties to match a connection
to devices. At the moment only the interface-name property is present
and, contrary to connection.interface-name, it allows the use of
wildcards.
Note that in NetworkManager API (D-Bus, libnm, and nmcli),
the features are called "feature-xyz". The "feature-" prefix
is used, because NMSettingEthtool possibly will gain support
for options that are not only -K|--offload|--features, for
example -C|--coalesce.
The "xzy" suffix is either how ethtool utility calls the feature
("tso", "rx"). Or, if ethtool utility specifies no alias for that
feature, it's the name from kernel's ETH_SS_FEATURES ("tx-tcp6-segmentation").
If possible, we prefer ethtool utility's naming.
Also note, how the features "feature-sg", "feature-tso", and
"feature-tx" actually refer to multiple underlying kernel features
at once. This too follows what ethtool utility does.
The functionality is not yet implemented server-side.
Update the docs build to include and exclude the correct files.
Fill in some missing documentation, and fix problems in the existing
docs. (In particular, "<" can't appear as a literal in documentation,
so change it to "<". Also, "PKCS#12" has to be written as
"PKCS#<!-- -->12", or gtk-doc will think "#12" is a reference to a
type named "12".)
Create NMIPConfig as the parent of NMIP4Config and NMIP6Config, and
remove the two subclasses from the public API; while it's convenient
to still have both internally, they are now identical to the outside
world.
Merge NMIP4Address and NMIP6Address into NMIPAddress, and NMIP4Route
and NMIP6Route into NMIPRoute. The new types represent IP addresses as
strings, rather than in binary, and so are address-family agnostic.
Rename libnm's NMVpnPlugin to NMVpnPluginOld, in preparation for
having a new-and-improved NMVpnPlugin in NM 1.2. Also remove it from
NM-1.0.gir.
Make nm-vpn-plugin-old.h be separately includable, since it's not
included from NetworkManager.h, and we probably don't want it to be.
Remove NMVpnPlugin, NMVpnPluginUiInterface, and nm-vpn-plugin-utils
from the docs, since they're basically undocumented anyway.
The docs for NMIP4Config:addresses and NMIP4Config:routes claimed that
they were GPtrArrays of NMIP4Address/NMIP4Route, but get_property()
was actually trying to set them the D-Bus representation type, and it
was failing anyway because it used g_value_set_boxed() on a parameter
that was declared GParamSpecPointer. Fix it to use a GPtrArray-valued
property, and set it to the right thing.
NMIP6Config did the right thing with its :addresses and :routes
properties, but was using custom types (NM_TYPE_IP6_ADDRESS_OBJECT_ARRAY and
NM_TYPE_IP6_ROUTE_OBJECT_ARRAY). Make it use G_TYPE_PTR_ARRAY instead.
nm-types.c, nm-types.h, and nm-types-private.h are now empty, and so
can be dropped.
