When NM looks for vpn plugins, it would expect the full service name
otherwise it will not be able to retrieve the correct plugin.
Fixes VPN configurations generated with "nmcli connection add".
This is a huge refactoring in attempt to 1.) reduce the horrible redundancy in
the connection addition path and 2.) reduce confusion between various sources
of property value (command line, properties, interactive mode).
* The conversions from the strings was done all over the place:
settings.c already does for all sensible properties.
The rest is removed.
* The validations are done randomly and redundantly:
server does some validation, and per-property client validations
useful for interactive mode are done in settings.c
The rest is removed.
* The information about defaults and required options was redundantly
scattered in per-type completion functions and interactive mode
questionnaries. This is now driven by the option_info[] table.
In general, we do our best to just map the command line options to
properties and allow mixing them. For the rest there's the
check_and_set() callbacks (basically to keep compatibility with previous
nmcli versions). This this is now all possible:
$ nmcli c add type ethernet ifname '*'
This always worked
$ nmcli c add type bond-slave save no -- connection.autoconnect no
The "save" and "--" still work
$ nmcli c add connection.type ethernet ifname eth0
Properties can now be used
$ nmcli c add type ethernet ip4 1.2.3.4 mac 80:86:66:77:88:99 con-name whatever
There's no implementation mandated order of the properties (the type
still must be known to determine which properties make sense)
$ nmcli --ask c add type ethernet ip4 1.2.3.4 mac 80:86:66:77:88:99 con-name whatever
The interactive mode asks only for properties that weren't specified
on command line
The bond 'arp_ip_target' option contains a list of comma-separated IP
addresses; but comma is also used to separate options and so at the
moment it is not possible to specify multiple IPs as the command
$ nmcli c m b1 bond.options \
mode=0,arp_interval=1,arp_ip_target=1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2
interprets 2.2.2.2 as the next option.
Allows spaces to be used as separators for the IPs of the
'arp_ip_target':
$ nmcli c m b1 bond.options \
"mode=0,arp_interval=1,arp_ip_target=1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2"
- All internal source files (except "examples", which are not internal)
should include "config.h" first. As also all internal source
files should include "nm-default.h", let "config.h" be included
by "nm-default.h" and include "nm-default.h" as first in every
source file.
We already wanted to include "nm-default.h" before other headers
because it might contains some fixes (like "nm-glib.h" compatibility)
that is required first.
- After including "nm-default.h", we optinally allow for including the
corresponding header file for the source file at hand. The idea
is to ensure that each header file is self contained.
- Don't include "config.h" or "nm-default.h" in any header file
(except "nm-sd-adapt.h"). Public headers anyway must not include
these headers, and internal headers are never included after
"nm-default.h", as of the first previous point.
- Include all internal headers with quotes instead of angle brackets.
In practice it doesn't matter, because in our public headers we must
include other headers with angle brackets. As we use our public
headers also to compile our interal source files, effectively the
result must be the same. Still do it for consistency.
- Except for <config.h> itself. Include it with angle brackets as suggested by
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Configuration-Headers
Change the dhcp-timeout property in NMSettingIPConfig to int type for
consistency with the dad-timeout property. For dad-timeout -1 means
"use default value", while for dhcp-timeout probably we will never use
negative values, but it seems more correct to use the same type for
the two properties.
Some drivers (or things outside NM like 'powertop') may turn powersave
on, so don't touch it unless explicitly configured by user.
To achieve this, add new 'default' and 'ignore' options; the former
can be used to fall back to a globally configured setting, while the
latter tells NM not to touch the current setting.
When 'default' is specified, a missing global default configuration is
equivalent to 'ignore'.
It is possible to enable Wi-Fi power saving for all connections by
dropping a file in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d with the following
content:
[connection]
wifi.powersave=3

- "gsystem-local-alloc.h" and <gio/gio.h> are already included via
"nm-default.h". No need to include them separately.
- include "nm-macros-internal.h" via "nm-default.h" and drop all
explict includes.
- in the modified files, ensure that we always include "config.h"
and "nm-default.h" first. As second, include the header file
for the current source file (if applicable). Then follow external
includes and finally internal nm includes.
- include nm headers inside source code files with quotes
- internal header files don't need to include default headers.
They can savely assume that "nm-default.h" is already included
and with it glib, nm-glib.h, nm-macros-internal.h, etc.
Add a new 'ignore' option to NMSettingWired.wake-on-lan which disables
management of wake-on-lan by NetworkManager (i.e. the pre-existing
option will not be touched). Also, change the default behavior to be
'ignore' instead of 'disabled'.

- accept a numeric value (decimal or hex (0x prefix))
- display a numeric value of the property in addition to the strings
- add/accept spaces between string names
to behave similar to other flags' properties.
Aliases "disable" and "disabled" are accepted too.

It was possible to remove flags by setting a string containing just white
spaces, but it was user unfriendly and non-intuitive.

The localization headers are now included via "nm-default.h".
Also fixes several places, where we wrongly included <glib/gi18n-lib.h>
instead of <glib/gi18n.h>. For example under "clients/" directory.
Rather than randomly including one or more of <glib.h>,
<glib-object.h>, and <gio/gio.h> everywhere (and forgetting to include
"nm-glib-compat.h" most of the time), rename nm-glib-compat.h to
nm-glib.h, include <gio/gio.h> from there, and then change all .c
files in NM to include "nm-glib.h" rather than including the glib
headers directly.
(Public headers files still have to include the real glib headers,
since nm-glib.h isn't installed...)
Also, remove glib includes from header files that are already
including a base object header file (which must itself already include
the glib headers).
Some of the properties changed from GParamSpecUInt to GParamSpecFlags, namely
NM_SETTING_VLAN_FLAGS
NM_SETTING_DCB_APP_FCOE_FLAGS
NM_SETTING_DCB_APP_ISCSI_FLAGS
NM_SETTING_DCB_APP_FIP_FLAGS
NM_SETTING_DCB_PRIORITY_FLOW_CONTROL_FLAGS
NM_SETTING_DCB_PRIORITY_GROUP_FLAGS
