NetworkManager relies on the ping command provided by `/usr/bin/ping`
from the iputils package to proceed the gateway or ip addresses
connectivity check. This change ensures that iputils is recommended as a
dependency, making the ping command available for use during runtime but
not enforcing its installation as mandatory since NM can still proceed
to activate the connection even if the ping operation failed.
Since NMSettingIPConfig is an abstract type that cannot be
instantiated, the overrides for the direct properties are defined on
the subclasses (NMSettingIP4Config and NMSettingIP6Config).
Silence the warning about using direct properties.
Commit c19b5d76c2 ('contrib: install "policykit-1" package on Debian')
added policykit-1 because it was needed to get a translation file.
In recent Debian versions it has been removed. It was only a
transitional package to install polkitd and pkexec. Install polkitd
directly instead.
Make it off by default. Point out it's deprecated in a config summary.
It's not maintained upstream. There's probably not much justification for
using it any more and we'd like to remove it at some point.

For [connection*] and [device*] sections, any suffix is allowed in
the group.
However (at least for configuration snippets we ship upstream), we
want to give a suffix that matches the name of the configuration
snippet.
It seems more common to use [connection-*] instead of [connection.].
See also "examples/nm-conf.d/*.conf" and "15-carrier-timeout.conf" file
which contains a [device-15-carrier-timeout] section.
Note that this file (in Fedora) is not configuration (installed in
/usr/lib). It is thus not problematic to modify.

With the deprecation of autotools, use meson by default. For the moment,
it's still possible to build with autotools passing -a/--autotools.
Additionally, as we allow to specify different build directories other
than './build', let's not asume that the user wants to overwrite it
by default. Instead, the script will asume ./build if the user doesn't
specify the build directory, but only if it doesn't exist. If it does,
the user will have to force overwritting it with `--meson ./build`.
Instead of forcing to use ./build directory, let's make the the user
specify what directory he wants to use. This will allow to have multiple
build directories with different configurations as meson is designed to
allow, without having to overwrite the existing build one.
Note: here I refer to the numbers in a version as MAJOR.MINOR.MICRO.
Having stable and development releases do make sense for the MINOR
version, because we maintain separate branches for them and they
evolve separately. We have 1.47.z where we put all the changes so
anyone can pick the latest development release and test it. At the
same time, we have 1.46.z with the latest stable released version.
However, it does not make sense to have 1.46.2 and 1.46.3-dev because
the latter is not a development version. It is identical to 1.46.2,
only the version number has been bumped, there are no changes to test.
When we add commits, we will be actually testing 1.46.3-dev + some
commits, which is exactly the same as testing 1.46.2 + some commits.
So, basically, someone can use the releases of a development BRANCH,
like 1.47.4, to test the development version of NM. But using a
development MICRO version is exactly the same as using a
non-development one.
From now on, we will just increment the MICRO version each time we do a
release on a stable branch and won't create the '-dev' tag. Update
release.sh to do it this way.
We are planning on completely dropping Autotools in the future.
This breaks the build process with an argument to ignore the deprecation,
so that anyone building NM is warned of this change.
