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.
Use autoconf/automake variables for NetworkManager paths. Use
NetworkManager subdirectory where appropriate.
Files in /var/run (or /run on some distros) are moved into a separate
directory as is usual with other daemons. It makes the filesystem
more readable and file prefixing unnecessary.
/var/run/NetworkManager.pid -> /var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.pid
/var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.pid -> /var/run/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.pid
/var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf -> /var/run/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.conf
The /var/run/NetworkManager directory is created at runtime, if it doesn't
exist.
Note: Path-based security policies like SELinux and AppArmor may need to
be adapted.
We had separate checks for glib-2.0, gobject-2.0, gmodule-2.0, and
gio-unix-2.0. It doesn't make sense to link a binary against all 4
because gio-unix-2.0 depends on glib-2.0 and gobject-2.0. Doing this
actually breaks things in unusual circumstances.
Generally, few bits of NM actually just use glib, and not gio. We
might as well coalesce those requirements together, even if it means
in some cases we "overlink". Additionally, I chose for now to fold
gmodule-2.0 in as well, even though many fewer programs need it. The
cost of overlinking is quite small.
The benefit of this is less repeated junk in Makefile.am, as well as
more centralized control over GLib. A followup patch will allow us to
set -DGLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED in just one place, rather than having
to replicate it 4 times.
The NM configure is still suboptimal - for example, libpolkit-1
depends on gio-2.0, so really we should determine the compiler flags
all in one pass. But it doesn't matter too much for now.
This functionality is (mostly) obsoleted by the newer
GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED and GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED defines. With
this, your build doesn't all of a sudden blow up if we deprecate
something in GLib - you have to explicitly opt-in to the newer
version.
G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED does still apply for macros and things that can't
take __attribute__((deprecated)), but it's not really worth the pain
and cargo culting around just for that.
