"gen-metadata-nm-settings-nmcli" previously printed the <description>.
But that tag is not very useful for further processing.
For the most part it itself comes from "src/libnmc-setting/settings-docs.h",
which is generated (but lost formatting information already to be
suitable for where it's used).
Some parts are original texts from "src/libnmc-setting/nm-meta-setting-desc.c",
like TEAM_DESCRIBE_MESSAGE. However those text are also not really suitable
for any other purpose.
Rename the tag, so that the tools that process "gen-metadata-nm-settings-nmcli.xml"
don't use it.
The file "gen-metadata-nm-settings-nmcli.xml" is currently only used to
generate "man/nm-settings-docs-nmcli.xml", and that file slightly
changes with this patch. However, the manual page which is generated by
"man/nm-settings-docs-nmcli.xml" does not change.
The input always actually has a <description-docbook> field, so the secret-flags
hint was never shown.
Move it. It's indepenent from <description> and <description-docbook> anyway.
With this we see the expected messages
See the section called “Secret flag types:” for flag values.
If we have an override with "description-docbook:", we soon will require that
there is also an accompanying "description:", for plain uses.
The text is copied from what otherwise gets merged (it comes from the gir file).
We want to follow current Fedora, so update to Fedora 38.
Also, we now use clang-format from Fedora 38 release, so the default
image in gitlab-ci must match, because that image is used for the
"check-tree" test.
While at it, add Fedora 39 and move Fedora 36 to tier 3.
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.
This is the version shipped in Fedora 38. As Fedora 38 is now out, the
core developers switch to it. Our gitlab-ci will also use that as base
image for the check-{patch.tree} tests and to generate the pages. There
is a need that everybody agrees on which clang-format version to use,
and that version should be the one of the currently used Fedora release.
Also update the used Fedora image in "contrib/scripts/nm-code-format-container.sh"
script.
The gitlab-ci still needs update in the following commit. This change
in isolation will break the "check-tree" test.
That is also what autotools does. Keep the behvior in sync.
Also, "contrib/scripts/nm-ci-run.sh" does not explicitly enable
nm-cloud-setup, so we ended up not building it in test. This
solves that, by enabling it by default.
In constructed(), NMDevice starts watching the D-Bus name owner or
monitoring the unix socket, and so it is always aware if teamd is
running. When it is, NMDevice connects to it and initializes
priv->tdc.
It is not useful to try to connect to teamd in update_connection()
because warnings will be generated by NM and by libteam if teamd is
not running. As explained above the connection is always initialized
when teamd is available, and so we can just check priv->tdc.

This ABI was backported all the way to 1.42.8 and 1.40.20 and to rhel-8.9.
Move the ABI to a separate symbol version, which we have in all those
versions.
With the unit test framework, we define special methods, like setUp()
and test_*(). This is documented, but not obvious.
Previously, TestNmClient was the base class for our tests classes, and
it provided some functionality (and state). It was utterly confusing how
pieces fit together.
Instead, move the state to a new class NMTestContext(). That contains
most of the code from TestNmClient. Drop TestNmClient and let the test
classes directly descend from unittest.TestCase.
The difference is, when you now look at a certain test (test_001()), you
can easier understand which code runs when. First, the test class has a
setUp() method which runs, but that method is now trivial without extra
context. Second, there is the @nm_test attribute that wraps the
function. But that's it. It's all at one place, and we delegate instead
of inherit.
Currently if the IPv6 link-local address is removed after it passed
DAD, NetworkManager tries to generate a new link-local address. If
this fails, which is always the case for EUI64, ipv6ll is considered
as failed and the connection can go down (depending on may-fail).
This is particularly bad for virtual interfaces because if somebody
removes the link-local address, the activation can fail and destroy
the interface, breaking all services that require it. Also, it's a
change in behavior introduced in 1.36.0.
It seems that a better approach here is to re-add the address that was
removed externally.

When managing the interface after wake/reenable, the reason determines
whether the device will be sys-iface-state=managed or external.
Commit 5a9a7623c5 ('core: set STATE_REASON_CONNECTION_ASSUMED when
waking up') changed the reason from 'now-managed' to
'connection-assumed'; the effect was that devices that were fully
managed before sleeping become external after a wake up. For example:
$ nmcli connection add type ethernet ifname enp1s0
Connection 'ethernet-enp1s0' (47fcd81e-bf00-4c02-b25b-354894f5657e) successfully added.
$ nmcli device | grep enp1s0
enp1s0 ethernet connected ethernet-enp1s0
$ nmcli networking off
$ nmcli device | grep enp1s0
enp1s0 ethernet unmanaged --
$ nmcli networking on
$ nmcli device | grep enp1s0
enp1s0 ethernet unavailable --
Set the correct reason during wake up so that the previous state is
restored.

- use G_N_ELEMENTS() macro instead of having separate defines. The separate
defines mean that when we check g_return_val_if_fail(oc_argc <= OC_ARGS_MAX, FALSE)
that we must double check that OC_ARGS_MAX is really the size of the array
that we want to check.
- replace g_return_val_if_fail() with nm_assert(). In this case, it should be
very clear by review that the buffer is indeed large enough and the assertion
holds. Use nm_assert().
- use unsigned integer for the loop variables. While int theoretically
might exploit undefined behavior of signed overflow, we should instead
use unsigned at places where it's appropriate (for example, those
variables are compared against G_N_ELEMENTS() which gives a size_t type.
- declare auto variables on separate lines.
- make the global variable oc_property_args static and const. The const
means the linker will put it into read-only memory, so we would get
a crash on accidental modification.
Don't rely on resources provided by mock metadata server by default,
create the from within the test instead.
This allows for more flexibility, but the locality of the test fixture
relative to the tests makes the test more legible.
