Add versioned NM_DEPRECATED_IN_* and NM_AVAILABLE_IN_* macros, and tag
new/deprecated functions accordingly. (All currently-deprecated
functions are assumed to have been deprecated in 0.9.10.)
Add NM_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED and NM_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED macros which
can be set to determine which versions will cause warnings.
With the current settings, external consumers of the
libnm-util/libnm-glib APIs will have MIN_REQUIRED and MAX_ALLOWED both
set to NM_VERSION_0_9_8 by default, meaning they will get warnings
about functions added in 0.9.10. NM internally sets
NM_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED to NM_VERSION_NEXT_STABLE to ensure that it is
always allowed to use all APIs.
Rather than explicitly passing around a UID and a flag saying whether
or not it's relevant.
(This also fixes a bug where the wrong UID was being recorded in
nm-settings-connection.c::auth_start(), which caused problems such as
agent-owned secrets not getting saved because of a perceived UID
mismatch.)
Unfortunately, $(AM_CPPFLAGS) gets overridden by per-target _CPPFLAGS
variables, which $(INCLUDES) did not, so this requires some additional
changes.
In most places, I have just gotten rid of the per-target _CPPFLAGS
variables; in directories with a single target, the per-target
variable is unnecessary, and in directories with multiple targets, the
per-target variable is often undesirable, since it forces some files
to be compiled twice, even though there ends up being no difference
between the two files.
We don't always want to immediately write new connections to disk, to
facilitate "runtime" or "temporary" connections where an interface's
runtime config isn't backed by on-disk config. Also, just because
an interface's configuration is changed doesn't necessarily mean
that new configuration should be written to disk either.
Add D-Bus methods for adding new connections and for updating existing
connections that don't immediately save the connection to disk.
Also add infrastructure to indicate to plugins that the new connection
shouldn't be immediately saved if the connection was added with the
new method.
We'll need this for later with unsaved connections. The ifnet
plugin previously tracked connections by the "conn_name" which
was derived from keys in the /etc/conf.d/net file. These keys
take two forms:
1) interface name
config_eth0=(
"192.168.4.121/24"
"dhcp6"
)
2) wifi SSID, either text or hex-encoded:
config_myssid=("dhcp")
config_0xab3ace=("dhcp")
The conf.d net connection name is apparently usually an interface
name, so when writing to /etc/conf.d/net the NM connection name is
changed from eg "Ethernet connection 1" to the next available
interface name based on the type of connection, eg "eth0".
The ifnet plugin actively removed connections that were not present
in /etc/conf.d/net during the reload_connections() call, but in the
future we'll want to allow unsaved connections which in the case of
ifnet clearly won't yet be written to the file. Since only
connections written to the file have a "conn_name", tracking
connections by conn_name no longer works.
Although having different parts of NM in different subdirectories
keeps the source tree neat, it has made the build messy, particularly
because of cross-dependencies between the subdirs.
Reorganize to build all of the pieces of the NetworkManager binary
from src/Makefile, and only use recursive make for test programs,
helper binaries, and plugins.
As part of this, get rid of all the per-directory convenience
libraries, and switch to building a single top-level
libNetworkManager.la, containing everything except main.c, which all
of the test programs can then link against.
Add some new API to NMConfig so that NMSettings and its plugins can
use NMConfig to look up values rather than reparsing the config file
themselves.
Also, move the no-auto-default cache from NetworkManager.conf to
$NMSTATEDIR/no-auto-default.state, so NM isn't rewriting its own
config file at runtime.
Can't leave the backup files lying around when doing 'make distcheck',
so when backup up a file, return the backup file path so that the
caller can (optionally) remove it.
If the certificate path from the supplicant config is not absolute,
we need to make it absolute. When building with a different builddir,
the certificate from the supplicant config is actually in the srcdir,
but the builddir is the current PWD.
Use --enable-doc and --enable-tests instead of --with-docs and
--with-tests. This is consistent with other features and with
--enable-gtk-doc option. Support current variants as fallback.
Don't build tests unless --enable-tests is specified.
Finding out interface type from interface name string is fragile. It is easily
broken, e.g. by biosdevname changing interface names to em<n> or p<n>*p<n>.
Sadly, Gentoo network configuration scripts are rather stupid, using format:
variable_${interface|mac|essid|apmac}.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2007.0/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#book_part4_chap2
The entries interface|mac|essid|apmac are basically indistinguishable. It's not
possible to say whether 'p1p1' is an interface or SSID, for example.
Fix the current behaviour a bit by checking whether the string is an interface.
If so, and it is not a Wi-Fi one, set the connection type as wired. Else it is
regarded as wireless.
