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.
We have generated headers, and non-generated.
We have public headers and internal headers.
We have headers/sources for libnm-glib and libnm-glib-vpn.
We want that non-generated files depend on generated files.
Thus, reorder it all and assign the groups to different variables.
Source files like libnm/nm-client.c include introspection files like
nmdbus-manager.h. These files are part of BUILT_SOURCES, which is
a pre-requisite to "all" target.
However, that is not sufficient for
./autogen --enable-gtk-doc && make dist
Generating the docs, requires man/nm-settings.xml. That is only present
when
- ./configure --enable-gtk-doc --with-introspecton
- in a dist-tarball, contrary to a git-tree
Only create docs, when we also regenerate the manuals (BUILD_SETTING_DOCS).
That is, you can no longer generate docs, by relying on the pre-generated
manual pages.
If you want to generate docs, you have to regenerate the manual pages
as well.
Previously, doing the following in a git-tree failed:
$ git clean -fdx
$ ./autogen.sh --enable-gtk-doc --enable-introspection=no && make
...
make[2]: Entering directory './NetworkManager/docs/api'

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.
This speeds up the initial object tree load significantly. Also, it
reduces the object management complexity by shifting the duties to
GDBusObjectManager.
The lifetime of all NMObjects is now managed by the NMClient via the
object manager. The NMClient creates the NMObjects for GDBus objects,
triggers the initialization and serves as an object registry (replaces
the nm-cache).
The ObjectManager uses the o.fd.DBus.ObjectManager API to learn of the
object creation, removal and property changes. It takes care of the
property changes so that we don't have to and lets us always see a
consistent object state. Thus at the time we learn of a new object we
already know its properties.
The NMObject unfortunately can't be made synchronously initializable as
the NMRemoteConnection's settings are not managed with standard
o.fd.DBus Properties and ObjectManager APIs and thus are not known to
the ObjectManager. Thus most of the asynchronous object property
changing code in nm-object.c is preserved. The objects notify the
properties that reference them of their initialization in from their
init_finish() methods, thus the asynchronously created objects are not
allowed to fail creation (or the dependees would wait forever). Not a
problem -- if a connection can't get its Settings, it's either invisible
or being removed (presumably we'd learn of the removal from the object
manager soon).
The NMObjects can't be created by the object manager itself, since we
can't determine the resulting object type in proxy_type() yet (we can't
tell from the name and can't access the interface list). Therefore the
GDBusObject is coupled with a NMObject later on.
Lastly, now that all the objects are managed by the object manager, the
NMRemoteSettings and NMManager go away when the daemon is stopped. The
complexity of dealing with calls to NMClient that would require any of
the resources that these objects manage (connection or device lists,
etc.) had to be moved to NMClient. The bright side is that his allows
for removal all of the daemon presence tracking from NMObject.
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".
This is especially important because we don't support
line continuation. Thus, with
FOO='val
bar=3'
wrong line
F2=b
F3='b
XXX=adf'
XXX2=val2
'
we now write
FOO=
#NM: FOO='val
bar=
#NM: bar=3'
#NM: wrong line
F2=b
F3=
#NM: F3='b
XXX=
#NM: XXX=adf'
XXX2=val2
#NM: '
Basically, the writer will comment out any line that is
- not all-whitespace
- not a '#' comment (possibly proceeded by whitespace)
- not a valid variable assignment
This avoids that writer writes lines that are not understood by
ifcfg-rh plugin, but interferes with initscripts. E.g.
NAME=old-name'
rm -rf /
'
becomes
NAME=new-name
#NM: rm -rf /
#NM: '
