"shared/nm-utils" got long renamed and split into separate parts. The remaining
tests are really to test nm-std-aux and nm-glib-aux (no libnm dependencies). Move
the tests to the appropriate place.
This adds capability to hand over the network configuration from
OpenFirmware (and potentially other boot loaders with openfirmware
support such as U-Boot) to NetworkManager.
It's done analogously to ACPI/iBFT. In fact, the same ip=ibft command
line option is used, adding a more general ip=fw alias. This probably
deserves some documentation, but I'm not adding any at this time.

The functionality of the ibft settings plugin is now handled by
nm-initrd-generator. There is no need for it anymore, drop it.
Note that ibft called iscsiadm, which requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN to work
([1]). We really want to drop this capability, so the current solution
of a settings plugin (as it is implemented) is wrong. The solution
instead is nm-initrd-generator.
Also, on Fedora the ibft was disabled and probably on most other
distributions as well. This was only used on RHEL.

For the most part, we only have one main .gitignore file.
There were a few nested files, merge them into the main file.
I find it better to have only one gitignore file, otherwise the
list of ignored files is spread out through the working directory.
We already have "libnm-core/tests/test-keyfile.c" from which we build
"test-keyfile".
Our test binaries should be named the following:
- "*/tests/test-*"
- the test binary "*/tests/test-*" should be build from a source file
"*/tests/test-*.c". Meaning: the source's and executable's name should
correspond.
- test binaries should be named uniquely. Also, because older meson
versions don't like having the same binary name more than once.
Rename to avoid the duplicate name.
These tests cannot (easily) be under "shared/nm-libnm-core-aux/tests"
because libnm/libnm-core requires code under shared while
"nm-libnm-core-aux" requires libnm/libnm-core. With autotools that is
not problem, but with meson we include sub directories in a particular
order and there is no way to foward declare stuff (AFAIK). To avoid
the circular dependency, add the tests to "clients/common/tests", which
is always built last.
"shared/nm-utils" is a loose collection of utility functions.
There is a certain aim that they can be used independently.
However, they also rely on each other.
Add a test that we can build a minimal shared library with
these tools, independent of libnm-core.
nm-initrd-generator scans the command line for options relevant to network
configuration and creates configuration files for an early instance of
NetworkManager run from the initial ramdisk during early boot.
This is loosely based on nms-ibft-reader, but with some significant
changes. Notably, it parses /sys/firmware/ibft directly instead of
iscsiadm output.
iscsiadm is not available on early boot (perhaps it's too large) and
turns out that parsing sysfs directly is easier and more
straightforwared anyways. A win-win situation.
It is not useful alone, it's in a separate commit just for the sake of
easier review.
1) the command line gets shorter. I frequently run `make V=1` to see
the command line arguments for the compiler, and there is a lot
of noise.
2) define each of these variables at one place. This makes it easy
to verify that for all compilation units, a particular
define has the same value. Previously that was not obvious or
even not the case (see commit e5d1a71396
and commit d63cf1ef2f).
The point is to avoid redundancy.
3) not all compilation units need all defines. In fact, most modules
would only need a few of these defines. We aimed to pass the necessary
minium of defines to each compilation unit, but that was non-obvious
to get right and often we set a define that wasn't used. See for example
"src_settings_plugins_ibft_cppflags" which needlessly had "-DSYSCONFDIR".
This question is now entirely avoided by just defining all variables in
a header. We don't care to find the minimum, because every component
gets anyway all defines from the header.
4) this also avoids the situation, where a module that previously did
not use a particular define gets modified to require it. Previously,
that would have required to identify the missing define, and add
it to the CFLAGS of the complation unit. Since every compilation
now includes "config-extra.h", all defines are available everywhere.
5) the fact that each define is now available in all compilation units
could be perceived as a downside. But it isn't, because these defines
should have a unique name and one specific value. Defining the same
name with different values, or refer to the same value by different
names is a bug, not a desirable feature. Since these defines should
be unique accross the entire tree, there is no problem in providing
them to every compilation unit.
6) the reason why we generate "config-extra.h" this way, instead of using
AC_DEFINE() in configure.ac, is due to the particular handling of
autoconf for directory variables. See [1].
With meson, it would be trivial to put them into "config.h.meson".
While that is not easy with autoconf, the "config-extra.h" workaround
seems still preferable to me.

Even Gentoo disables this plugin since before 0.9.8 release
of NetworkManager. Time to say goodbye.
If somebody happens to show up to maintain it, we may resurrect it
later.
If "$distro_plugins=ifnet" was set, configure.ac would use that
to autodetect --with-hostname-persist=gentoo. Replace that autodetect
part by checking for /etc/gentoo-release file.
We now have merged in libnm-core/tests/test-setting test file the test
files for 8021x, bond and dcb... add the new test file to .gitignore and
remove the old ones.
Register empty "NMClient" and "NetworkManager" GIR modules as soon as libnm is
loaded witch gnome-introspection. This prevents the real modules from being
loaded because they would in turn load libnm-glib and abort() and crash.
In particular this prevents the GNOME shell from crashing with
libnm-glib abort and allows gracefully disabling the extensions which
use the obsolete library.
Test:
$ cat test.js
const NM = imports.gi.NM;
print (NM.SecretAgentGetSecretsFlags.ALLOW_INTERACTION);
const NMClient = imports.gi.NMClient;
print (NMClient.SecretAgentGetSecretsFlags.ALLOW_INTERACTION);

Previously, internal parts of libnm were not testable.
Instead, add "libnm/nm-libnm-utils.c" and "libnm/libnm-utils.la"
to contain code that can be statically linked with a new
test "libnm/tests/test-general".
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.
This adds 0.4 seconds to the build time.
You can disable it by setting $NM_BUILD_NO_CREATE_EXPORTS environment
variable. This is useful in the unexpected case that the script
is broken.
Or, if you just want to use a different, non-generated version-script.
Or, if you want to save 0.4 seconds build-time.
We'll soon not only do the router discovery, but announce ourselves as a
reouter. "Neighbor discovery" sounds to be a more appropriate name for
the class than "Router discovery".
Originally, the "callouts" directory contained various programs
that NetworkManager would call, for example the dhcp helper.
For a while, it only contains nm-dispatcher. Thus rename the directory
to indicate that it's for dispatcher.
We don't need need separate unit tests for basic tests that can
just run in the same test-run. If you really need to run only
a particular set of tests, try
./src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/tests/test-ifcfg-rh -p /settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/utils
Results in less compilation (time), and less binaries to test during
`make check`.
NMAccessPoint was in file "nm-wifi-ap.h" with
method nm_ap_*(). Make the naming consistent.
Also rename "nm-wifi-ap-utils.*" as it contains general
purpose wifi utilities. No need to have special "ap" utilities.
Same for "test-wifi-ap-utils.c". It just contains general wifi
tests.
