We named the types inconsistently:
- "p2p-wireless" ("libnm-core/nm-setting-p2p-wireless.h")
- "p2p" ("libnm/nm-p2p-peer.h")
- "p2p-wifi" ("src/devices/wifi/nm-device-p2p-wifi.h")
It seems to me, "libnm/nm-p2p-peer.h" should be qualified with a "Wi-Fi"
specific name. It's not just peer-to-peer, it's Wi-Fi P2P.
Yes, there is an inconsistency now, because there is already
"libnm/nm-access-point.h".
It seems to me (from looking at the internet), that the name "Wi-Fi P2P"
is more common than "P2P Wi-Fi" -- although both are used. There is also
the name "Wi-Fi Direct". But it's not clear which name should be
preferred here, so stick to "Wi-Fi P2P".
In this first commit only rename the files. The following commit will
rename the content.
Correct the spelling across the *entire* tree, including translations,
comments, etc. It's easier that way.
Even the places where it's not exposed to the user, such as tests, so
that we learn how is it spelled correctly.
Note that in NetworkManager API (D-Bus, libnm, and nmcli),
the features are called "feature-xyz". The "feature-" prefix
is used, because NMSettingEthtool possibly will gain support
for options that are not only -K|--offload|--features, for
example -C|--coalesce.
The "xzy" suffix is either how ethtool utility calls the feature
("tso", "rx"). Or, if ethtool utility specifies no alias for that
feature, it's the name from kernel's ETH_SS_FEATURES ("tx-tcp6-segmentation").
If possible, we prefer ethtool utility's naming.
Also note, how the features "feature-sg", "feature-tso", and
"feature-tx" actually refer to multiple underlying kernel features
at once. This too follows what ethtool utility does.
The functionality is not yet implemented server-side.
Splitting keyfile handling in two "reader.c" and "writer.c" files
is not helpful. What is most interesting, is to see how property XYZ
is serialized to keyfile, and to verify that the parser does the
inverse. For that, it's easier if both the write_xzy() and parse_xyz()
function are beside each other, and not split accross files.
The more important reason is, that both reader and writer have their
separate handler arrays, for special handling of certain properties:
@key_parsers and @key_writers. These two should not be separate but will
be merged. Since they reference static functions, these functions must
all be in the same source file (unless, we put them into headers, which
would be unnecessary complex).
No code was changed, only moved.
Use the same form everywhere: "TRANSLATORS" instead of "Translators".
The manual also seems to prefer the upper-case form [1].
$ sed 's/\<Translators\>: /TRANSLATORS: /g' $(git grep -l Translators) -i

Yes, meson does not require that the build directory is named "build"
and this fix only works for the default case.
The `settings-docs.c` file is generated by processing the
`nm-property-docs.xml` file. Although this works in autotools,
the `.c` extension makes meson not to handle it properly.
Given the fact that it only contains a number of defines it
makes sense to change its extension to `.h` an use it as a header.
This also makes meson to handle it properly and build it before
its used.

These functions are only used by nm-meta-setting-desc.c. Make them internal.
Unfortunately, they are part of "common.h" which cannot be used without
the rest of nmcli. Still todo.
This part contains static functions and variables to describe
settings. It is distinct from the mechanism to use them, or
access them.
Split it out.
It still uses clients/cli/common.h and clients/cli/utils.h
which shall be fixed next.
Add support for creating dummy devices. This commit adds a D-Bus
interface 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.Dummy' which is used
primarily for determining the device type but does not carry any
properties.
The new NMSettingMacsec contains information necessary to establish a
MACsec connection. At the moment we support two different MACsec
modes, both using wpa_supplicant: PSK and EAP.
PSK mode is based on a static CAK key for the MACsec key agreement
protocol, while EAP mode derives keys from a 802.1x authentication and
thus requires the presence of a NMSetting8021x in the connection.
This file is only used by plugins and copied between them.
It's purpose is to contain general utility functions that are
only relevant for implementing NetworkManager's VPN plugins.
In principle the utility functions could be part of libnm, however,
there are a few problems with that:
- if they are part of libnm, adding and using a new utility function
requires the plugin to bump the required libnm version. Since you
usally can work around/reimplement utility functions, this results
in not using the API from libnm, not adding the API to libnm,
and reimplementing it over and over in the plugin.
- plugins compile both against libnm and libnm-glib. Thus, either
the utility function would also be needed in libnm-glib, or again,
it is not usable by the plugin.
We must avoid that the utility functions diverge and no local
modifications to these files should be made in the plugin.
Instead, one special location of the utility functions shall be
extended and re-imported (copied) to the plugin as needed.
Add the files to NetworkManager's repository. Although they are not
needed for NetworkManager itself, they are a different API provided
by NetworkManager. An API that is reused and shared by copying the files
around.
The "shared" directory contains files that are possibly used by all components
of NetworkManager repository.
Some of these files are even copied as-is to other projects (VPN plugins, nm-applet)
and used there without modification. Move those files to a separate directory.
By moving them to a common directory, it is clearer that they belong
together. Also, you can easier compare the copied versions to their
original via
$ diff -r ./shared/nm-utils/ /path/to/nm-vpn-plugin/shared/nm-utils/
Let VPN plugins return a virtual function table to extend
the API while bypassing libnm. This allows to add and use
new functionality to VPN plugins without updating libnm.
The actual definitions are in a header-only file
"nm-vpn-editor-plugin-call.h", which can be copied to the
caller/plugin.
Add new Reload D-Bus command to reload NetworkManager configuration.
For now, this is like sending SIGHUP to the process. There are several
advantages here:
- it is guarded via PolicyKit authentication while signals
can only be sent by root.
- the user can wait for the reload to be complete instead of sending
an asynchronous signal. For now, we operation completes after
nm_config_reload() returns, but later we could delay the response
further until specific parts are fully reloaded.
- SIGHUP reloads everything including re-reading configuration from
disk while SIGUSR1 reloads just certain parts such as writing out DNS
configuration anew.
Now, the Reload command has a flags argument which is more granular
in selecting parts which are to be reloaded. For example, via
signals the user can:
1) send SIGUSR1: this writes out the DNS configuration to
resolv.conf and possibly reloads other parts without
re-reading configuration and without restarting the DNS plugin.
2) send SIGHUP: this reloads configuration from disk,
writes out resolv.conf and restarts the DNS plugin.
There is no way, to only restart the DNS plugin without also reloading
everything else.
When performing NM package upgrade the new version of nmcli will be immediately
available while NM daemon will not, as it would not restart in order to avoid
to disrupt connectivity. This could create issues with tools leveraging
on nmcli output (till reboot). As apart from this case it is very unlikely
that a user can have this nmcli / NM daemon version mismatch situation,
the check could cause more harm than benefit in real user case
scenarios.

The new object type represents tunnels over IPv4 and IPv6.
We have a single setting type (NMSettingIPTunnel) for tunnels and it
can't be shared among different device factories. So we define also a
single device type for all tunnels.
This new object will also represent GRE tunnels, which before were
instantiated as NMDeviceGre and had a ".Device.Gre" D-Bus
interface. This commit introduces a change in behavior.
Add a generic NMSettingTunnel which describes properties of tunnels
over IPv4 and IPv6 (GRE, SIT, IPIP, IPIP6, IP6GRE, etc.). Since those
tunnel types all have similar properties it makes sense to have a
single setting type for them.

After copying "nm-vpn-plugin-old.*" to "nm-vpn-service-plugin.*",
rename the class and add it to the Makefile.
This will become the new VPN Service API for libnm 1.2. No changes
done yet except renaming of the classes and functions.
Rename the previous classes NMVpnPlugin(Old) to NMVpnServicePlugin
to have a distinct name from NMVpnEditorPlugin. Buth are plugins, but
with a different use.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749951
NMVpnPluginInfo is little more then a wrapper around
the GKeyFile that describes the VPN plugin settings,
i.e. the name files under "/etc/NetworkManager/VPN/".
Add this class to make the VPN API more explicit. Clients
now can use NMVpnPluginInfo instead of concerning themselves
with loading the keyfile and the meaning of its properties.
Also add support for a new VPN plugins directory
"/usr/lib/NetworkManager/VPN", which should replace
"/etc/NetworkManager/VPN" in the future. But we have to
consider both locations for backward compatibility.
The content of the VPN directory is not user configuration,
hence it should not be under "/etc". See related bug 738853.

Even Fedora is no longer shipping the WiMAX SDK, so it's likely we'll
eventually accidentally break some of the code in src/devices/wimax/
(if we haven't already). Discussion on the list showed a consensus for
dropping support for WiMAX.
So, remove the SDK checks from configure.ac, remove the WiMAX device
plugin and associated manager support, and deprecate all the APIs.
For compatibility reasons, it is still possible to create and save
WiMAX connections, to toggle the software WiMAX rfkill state, and to
change the "WIMAX" log level, although none of these have any effect,
since no NMDeviceWimax will ever be created.
nmcli was only compiling in support for most WiMAX operations when NM
as a whole was built with WiMAX support, so that code has been removed
now as well. (It is still possible to use nmcli to create and edit
WiMAX connections, but those connections will never be activatable.)
We now also use a similar function in VPN plugins. It makes
sense to provide a generic implementation in libnm.

Instead of having NmtEditorPage be a widget itself, have it just be an
object that returns a list of NmtEditorSections, where
NmtEditorSection is a subclass of NmtNewtSection.
(This will be important when adding VPN pages, which will be split up
into multiple sections, but with the different sections needing to
cooperate on updating the NMSettingVpn. This reorganization lets us
have an NMPageVpn containing multiple sections, with the NMPageVpn
object handling the coordination between the sections.)
All page types except NmtPageMain are displayed as collapsible
sections. NmtPageMain behaved quite differently from everything else.
So merge it into its container, NmtEditor.

When quitting, the Manager asks each device to spawn the interface helper,
which persists and manages dynamic address on the interface after NetworkManager
is gone. If the dynamic address cannot be maintaned, the helper quits and
the interface's address may be removed when their lifetime runs out.
To keep the helper as simple as possible, NetworkManager passes most of the
configuration on the command-line, including some properties of the device's
current state, which are necessary for the helper to maintain DHCP leases
or IPv6 SLAAC addresses.
Split a base NMSettingIPConfig class out of NMSettingIP4Config and
NMSettingIP6Config, and update things accordingly.
Further simplifications of now-redundant IPv4-vs-IPv6 code are
possible, and should happen in the future.
Synopsis:
nmcli agent { secret | polkit | all }
The command runs separate NetworkManager secret agent or session polkit agent, or both.
It is useful when
- no other secret agent is available (such as GUI nm-applet, gnome-shell, KDE applet)
- no other polkit agent is available (such as polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1,
polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 or lxpolkit)

Consolidate NMClientError and NMObjectError (such that there is now
only one libnm-API-specific error domain). In particular, merge
NM_CONNECTION_ERROR_CONNECTION_REMOVED with
NM_OBJECT_ERROR_OBJECT_CREATION_FAILURE as the new
NM_CONNECTION_ERROR_OBJECT_CREATION_FAILED.
Also make object_creation_failed() be a plain method rather than a
signal, since there's no reason for anyone to be connecting to it on
another object. And remove its GError argument because the subclass
can just create its own more-specific error.
As with the settings, each device type was defining its own error
type, containing either redundant or non-useful error codes. Drop all
of the subtype-specific errors, and reduce things to just
NM_DEVICE_ERROR_FAILED, NM_DEVICE_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_CONNECTION, and
NM_DEVICE_ERROR_INVALID_CONNECTION.
The device-type-specific errors were only returned from their
nm_device_connection_compatible() implementations, so this is also a
good opportunity to simplify those, by moving duplicated functionality
into the base NMDevice implementation, and then allowing the
subclasses to assume that the connection has already been validated in
their own code. Most of the implementations now just check that the
connection has the correct type for the device (which can't be done at
the NMDevice level since some device types (eg, Ethernet) support
multiple connection types.)
Also, make sure that all of the error messages are localized.
Each setting type was defining its own error type, but most of them
had exactly the same three errors ("unknown", "missing property", and
"invalid property"), and none of the other values was of much use
programmatically anyway.
So, this commit merges NMSettingError, NMSettingAdslError, etc, all
into NMConnectionError. (The reason for merging into NMConnectionError
rather than NMSettingError is that we also already have
"NMSettingsError", for errors related to the settings service, so
"NMConnectionError" is a less-confusable name for settings/connection
errors than "NMSettingError".)
Also, make sure that all of the affected error messages are localized,
and (where appropriate) prefix them with the relevant property name.
Renamed error codes:
NM_SETTING_ERROR_PROPERTY_NOT_FOUND -> NM_CONNECTION_ERROR_PROPERTY_NOT_FOUND
NM_SETTING_ERROR_PROPERTY_NOT_SECRET -> NM_CONNECTION_ERROR_PROPERTY_NOT_SECRET

Instead of creating it in NMSettings, where we must use
NM_IS_DEVICE_ETHERNET() (not NM_DEVICE_TYPE_ETHERNET because various generic
devices masquerade as NM_DEVICE_TYPE_ETHERNET too), push knowledge
of which device types create default wired connections into the device
types themselves. This solves a problem with testcases where
libNetworkManager.a (which testcases link to) requires the symbol
nm_type_device_ethernet().
Instead of handling iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table) in the ifcfg-rh plugin,
create a new plugin for it. This allows all distributions to use iBFT
configuration, and makes both iBFT handling and ifcfg-rh less complicated.
The plugin (like the old ifcfg-rh code) creates read-only connections backed
by the data exported by iscsiadm. The plugin does not support adding new
connections or modifying existing connections (since the iBFT data is
read-only anyway). Instead, users should change their iBFT data through
the normal firmware interfaces.
Unmanaged devices can be configured through NetworkManager.conf and the
normal 'keyfile' mechanisms.
(In the future, we'll read this data directly from the kernel's
/sys/firmware/ibft/ethernetX directory instead of iscsiadm, since the
kernel has all the information we need and that's where iscsiadm gets
it from anyway.)

This fixes up the code from the previous "clean" import, and adds
build infrastructure.
[There are two slightly orthogonal sets of changes in this patch.
First, the files added in the previous commit were modified as followed:
# Replace internal references to "libnm-util" and "libnm-glib" with "libnm"
perl -pi -e 's/libnm-(util|glib)/libnm/;' libnm-core/*.[ch] libnm-core/tests/*.[ch] libnm/*.[ch] libnm/tests/*.[ch]
# Fix includes of the enum-types files
perl -pi -e 's/nm-utils-enum-types/nm-core-enum-types/;' libnm-core/*.[ch] libnm-core/tests/*.[ch] libnm/*.[ch] libnm/tests/*.[ch]
perl -pi -e 's/nm-glib-enum-types/nm-enum-types/;' libnm/*.[ch] libnm/tests/*.[ch]
# Fix some python example code
perl -pi -e 's/import NMClient/import NM/;' -e 's/NMClient.Client\(\)/NM.Client()/;' libnm/nm-client.c
Then, the build infrastructure was added (without further modifying
any existing files in libnm-core or libnm.)
Note: to regenerate libnm.ver after rebase:
(head -2 libnm-util/libnm-util.ver; (grep -h '\s'nm_ libnm-util/libnm-util.ver libnm-glib/libnm-glib.ver | env LANG=C sort); tail -3 libnm-util/libnm-util.ver) > libnm/libnm.ver
]
Some subdirectories of src/ encapsulate large chunks of functionality,
but src/config/, src/logging/, and src/posix-signals/ are really only
separated out because they used to be built into separate
sub-libraries that were needed either for test programs, or to prevent
circular dependencies. Since this is no longer relevant, simplify
things by moving their files back into the main source directory.
Create a new clients/ subdirectory at the top level, and move cli/ and
tui/ into it, as well as nm-online.c (which was previously in test/,
which made no sense).
cli/ was split into two subdirectories, src/ and completion/. While
this does simplify things (given that the completion file and the
binary both need to be named "nmcli"), it bloats the source tree, and
we can work around it by just renaming the completion file at install
time. Then we can combine the two directories into one and just have
it all under clients/cli/.
