`nm` is used by "tools/create-exports-NetworkManager.sh" script.
Alloc configuring an explicit path during configure.
BINUTILS_NM=/usr/bin/nm ./configure
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.
Generating "src/NetworkManager.ver" each time seems to work well.
Thus, src/NetworkManager.ver-orig is unused an gets easily out
of date. Just remove it. It's not useful anymore.
As build-requirement, we either require
- python2 with python-gobject-base
- python3 with python3-gobject-base
Previously, we would require that a plain `python` gives the desired
interpreter version.
If somebody's "/usr/bin/env python" however points to a different
python version, there was no easy way to change it -- aside
resetting the $PATH variable to some desired "python" binary.
Now, you can specify it during configure:
./configure PYTHON=python3 ...
This especially matters, if you only have python3-gobject-base
installed, you /usr/bin/python is a symlink to python2.

Extend the D-Bus API and introduce a new NMDnsManager interface that
contains all the information related to DNS configuration.
At the moment the new DnsManager object only contains basic properties
describing the current DNS mode and resolv.conf manager.
Moving the PPP manager to a separate plugin that is loaded when needed
has the advantage of slightly reducing memory footprint and makes it
possible to install the PPP support only where needed.

- `make dist` requires --enable-gtk-doc --enable-introspection --with-libnm-glib
- --enable-gtk-doc requires --enable-introspection
- --with-nmcli requires either --enable-introspection or pregenerated
settings-docs.c files from the dist tarball. It does not require
--enable-gtk-doc.
There is a bit of a problem in that --enable-introspection requires
now xsltproc. However, gobject-introspection does itself not depend
on xsltproc. So, more correct might be a special --enable-doc argument,
that combines --enable-introspection --with-xsltproc. Anyway, that
seems to make it more complicated then it already is so just implicitly
(and surprisingly?) require xsltproc with --enable-introspection.

Need to pass --path to xsltproc to find common.ent in the
build-directory.
$ git clean -fdx && NMTST_MAKE='V=1 -d' ./tools/test-build.sh man/nm-settings-ifcfg-rh.xml
When building "libnm/nm-settings-docs.xml", we require
"nm-settings-docs-overrides.xml". As we dist the overrides files,
we must consult VPATH to locate the proper version of the file.
BUILT_SOURCES only matters during `make all`, `make check`
and `make install`.
It would be nice to be able to build every target specifically
from an empty git-tree.
Drop the use of BUILT_SOURCES where we already have the explicit
dependencies declared.
This makes it easier to install the files with proper names.
Also, it makes the makefile rules slightly simpler.
Lastly, the documentation is now generated into docs/api, which makes it
possible to get rid of the awkward relative file names in docbook.
Instead of relying on BUILT_SOURCES.
$ git clean -fdx && NOCONFIGURE=x ./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-gtk-doc && make clients/cli/nmcli
Also, add the file to DISTCLEANFILES.
- Use -I$() instead of -I${}
- omit "top_" for -I$(srcdir)
- remove quoting for include paths
We don't quote other places either. You just cannot
build NetworkManager in a path that contain invalid
characters.
- remove trailing slash from include paths
- fix indention with spaces in Makefile.am
Keep the include paths clean and separate. We use directories to group source
files together. That makes sense (I guess), but then we should use this
grouping also when including files. Thus require to #include files with their
path relative to "src/".
Also, we build various artifacts from the "src/" tree. Instead of having
individual CFLAGS for each artifact in Makefile.am, the CFLAGS should be
unified. Previously, the CFLAGS for each artifact differ and are inconsistent
in which paths they add to the search path. Fix the inconsistency by just
don't add the paths at all.
