Make NMSettingsService implement most of the NMSettingsInterface
API to make subclasses simpler, and consolidate exporting of
NMExportedConnection subclasses in NMSettingsService instead of
in 3 places. Make NMSysconfigSettings a subclass of
NMSettingsService and save a ton of code.
The old NMExportedConnection was used for both client and server-side classes,
which was a mistake and made the code very complicated to follow. Additionally,
all PolicyKit operations were synchronous, and PK operations can block for a
long time (ie for user input) before returning, so they need to be async. But
NMExportedConnection and NMSysconfigConnection didn't allow for async PK ops
at all.
Use this opportunity to clean up the mess and create GInterfaces that both
server and client objects implement, so that the connection editor and applet
can operate on generic objects like they did before (using the interfaces) but
can perform specific operations (like async PK verification of callers) depending
on whether they are local or remote or whatever.
The only thing that doesn't work yet is the system-settings service's
"auto eth" connections for ethernet devices that don't have an existing
connection. Might also have issues with unmanaged devices that can't
provide a MAC address until they are brought up, but we'll see.
The plugin called nm_exported_connection_update() which ended up checking
PolicyKit for authorization to update the connection, which of course fails
completely when it's just an inotify-triggered update. inotify-triggered
updates don't need authorization because they require root access anyway.
To match 'network' service behavior, which would perform reverse
address lookups when the HOSTNAME from /etc/sysconfig/network
was 'localhost' or 'localhost.localdomain'. Just name your machine
already.
* system-settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh
- Rename 'ifcfg-fedora' to 'ifcfg-rh'; it's not just used on Fedora
* system-settings/src/main.c
- (load_plugins): transparently handle ifcfg-fedora as ifcfg-rh
