We kept building NetworkManager in travis on an ancient
Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty). However, we already cannot install
latest meson, because that would require a newer python
version. The used meson 1.44.1 does not support "link_whole".
At this point, it's getting just too cumbersom.
Update the dependencies.
(cherry picked from commit 9c00eb5cb9)
This removes libnm-glib, libnm-glib-vpn, and libnm-util for good.
The it has been replaced with libnm since NetworkManager 1.0, disabled
by default since 1.12 and no up-to-date distributions ship it for years
now.
Removing the libraries allows us to:
* Remove the horrible hacks that were in place to deal with accidental use
of both the new and old library in a single process.
* Relief the translators of maintenance burden of similar yet different
strings.
* Get rid of known bad code without chances of ever getting fixed
(libnm-glib/nm-object.c and libnm-glib/nm-object-cache.c)
* Generally lower the footprint of the releases and our workspace
If there are some really really legacy users; they can just build
libnm-glib and friends from the NetworkManager-1.16 distribution. The
D-Bus API is stable and old libnm-glib will keep working forever.

For one, it's not unreasonable that we want to run the same
tests both for gitlab and travis.
Move the actual tests into a script, which is called by both
CI environments.
We still can do something different, based on the environment.
The advantage here is, that the common part will be shared, and
the places where we differ can easily be spot.

Add a configure option to disable eBPF support in n-acd.
Note that, even if eBPF is not supported, n-acd requires a kernel >
3.19, which means that the setsockopt(..., SO_ATTACH_BPF) option must
be defined. To allow building on older kernels without modifying the
n-acd code, we inject the SO_ATTACH_BPF value as a preprocessor define
in the compiler the command line.
If the user explicitly passes --with-netconfig=$PATH or --with-resolvconf=$PATH,
the path is accepted as is. We only do autodetection, if the binary was not found.
In that case, if the binary cannot be found in the common paths fail compilation.
(cherry picked from commit 5b36585a3d)
A few components are still disabled. Most notably, team support
which is not available on Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty).
All other components which are disabled are bugs in our build tools.
It should be possible to enable them, but currently breaks on travis.
Those needs additional fixes.
In particular, the DHCP plugins and ifcfg-rh plugin with meson.
Also, netconfig plugin with autotools requires that the path exists.
(cherry picked from commit e893405927)
We already do matrix-builds with autotools|meson and gcc|clang.
Make the selected crypto backend depending on the compiler, so
that we get more coverage.
When developing, we usually do in-tree-builds, so that case is
already better tested in every-day usage. It makes sense for
travis to test the less-well-tested case: the out-of-tree
build with autotools.
clients/tests only uses Polish locale for testing localized output.
No need to generate the Germane locale as well.
(cherry picked from commit 3a58c956c5)
Add a test which runs nmcli against our stub NetworkManager
service and compares the output.
The output formats of nmcli are complicated and not easily understood.
For example how --mode tabular|multiline interacts with selecting
output-fields (--fields) and output modes ([default]|--terse|--pretty).
Also, there are things like `nmcli connection show --order $FIELD_SPEC`.
We need unit tests to ensure that we don't change the output
accidentally.
Latest versions of meson require now Python 3.5+. Not only that meson requires Python3
and thus makes building on some systems cumbersome (RHEL7), it also eagerly bumps
Python3.y requirements.
Install the last working release which works with Python3.4. This fixes
the the travis build failure on Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty):
Meson works correctly only with python 3.5+.
You have python 3.4.3 (default, Nov 28 2017, 16:41:13)
[GCC 4.8.4].
Please update your environment
From libnl3, we only used the helper function to parse/generate netlink
messages and the socket functions to send/receive messages. We don't
need an external dependency to do that, it is simple enough.
Drop the libnl3 dependency, and replace all missing code by directly
copying it from libnl3 sources. At this point, I mostly tried to
import the required bits to make it working with few modifications.
Note that this increases the binary size of NetworkManager by 4736 bytes
for contrib/rpm build on x86_64. In the future, we can simplify the code
further.
A few modifications from libnl3 are:
- netlink errors NLE_* are now in the domain or regular errno.
The distinction of having to bother with two kinds of error
number domains was annoying.
- parts of the callback handling is copied partially and unused parts
are dropped. Especially, the verbose/debug handlers are not used.
In following commits, the callback handling will be significantly
simplified.
- the complex handling of seleting ports was simplified. We now always
let kernel choose the right port automatically.
It is slightly less obsolete. We don't really support precise (12.04)
anyway, the build only works because we steal libndp and perhaps more
from the trusty repository.
Even Gentoo disables this plugin since before 0.9.8 release
of NetworkManager. Time to say goodbye.
If somebody happens to show up to maintain it, we may resurrect it
later.
If "$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.
- nm-ovsdb.c uses json_load_callback(), which is jansson v2.4.
Hence, it cannot build the OVS plugin in our Travis-CI, which is
still on Ubuntu Precise. Disable building the plugin in travis and
add a compiler warning when building against an older version.
- since jansson v2.3, there is json_object_key_to_iter() to implement
the for-each macros. Use it in json_object_foreach_safe() when
available.
Since using libcurl for connectivity checks, we failed to build
with connectivity checking on travis. Fix that by installing the
required library (from trusty).
