- Remove list of authors from files that had them; these serve no
purpose except to quickly get out of date (and were only used in
libnm-util and not libnm-glib anyway).
- Just say "Copyright", not "(C) Copyright" or "Copyright (C)"
- Put copyright statement after the license, not before
- Remove "NetworkManager - Network link manager" from the few files
that contained it, and "libnm_glib -- Access network status &
information from glib applications" from the many files that
contained it.
- Remove vim modeline from nm-device-olpc-mesh.[ch], add emacs modeline
to files that were missing it.
Remove all the GParamSpec docs, since everything now uses the gtk-doc
docs instead, so there's no point in having two copies of each (which
are often out of sync anyway).
Since we're touching so many lines anyway, also fix up the indentation
of the remaining property-installing lines, and add
G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS to each paramspec (so the nick strings don't
get strduped). Also, be consistent about starting a new line between
"g_object_class_install_property" and its opening parenthesis.
Fix up various issues with the docs for the NMSetting properties, and
pull in text from the GParamSpec docs where the GParamSpec docs were
better (or contained information that is necessary in the context of
nm-settings.5).
Also, consistently wrap all of the doc comments to the same width (80
columns).
Fix misused gtk-doc annotations and incorrectly-identified properties.
In particular, the upcoming introspection-based generate-settings-spec
expands macro and enum values, so if you use '%' where you should have
used '#', it will fail to find an expansion, and error out.
We made the UIs consistent last year, but missed the documentation.
Fix the docs to also consistently use "Wi-Fi" rather than "WiFi",
"Wifi", "wifi", or "WiFI"; "Ethernet" rather than "ethernet"; and
"InfiniBand" rather than "Infiniband".
ipv4.never-default, ipv4.may-fail, and ipv6.privacy were marked
INFERRABLE, but NMIP4Config / NMIP6Config didn't actually infer them,
so they could cause connections to not match themselves after a
restart.
(Found while debugging https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1086237,
though this is not actually the problem there.)

- refactor register_settings to allow lookup by GType and
add the settings name to SettingInfo.
- setting NM_SETTING_NAME is deprecated and should not be set anymore.
Indeed it has always be a bug, to reset the name to a different value.
The only valid place to set the name was in the _init() function of
the derived class itself.
This is now no longer needed/possible. Instead the name get's
detected based on the registered setting types. This makes use of
the registered metadata that is available anyway since every
usable setting has to register itself.

INFERRABLE means the opposite of CANDIDATE; a property which NetworkManager
can read ("infer") from the system or the kernel when generating
connections. CANDIDATE isn't a great name and thus dies.
If BOOTPROTO is set to "none", user states that no ipv4 setting should
be set. So respect that.
Introduce helper is_any_ip4_address_defined() along the way to make the
code more readable.

This patch makes DHCPv6 support more or less equivalent to that
one of IPv4 DHCP.
(dcbw: fix some formatting, rearrange code so it's less convoluted,
fix up writing hostname to ifcfg files)
Make setting type registration less icky; instead of having the
connection register all the settings, have the settings themselves
register that information at library load time. Putting this sort
of thing in G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE is apparently more standard
than the home-rolled stuff we had before. Also document the
priority stuff so when adding new settings, people know what
priority to use.
(cleanups by jklimes)
Rather than generating enum classes by hand (and complaining in each
file that "this should really be standard"), use glib-mkenums.
Unfortunately, we need a very new version of glib-mkenums in order to
deal with NM's naming conventions and to fix a few other bugs, so just
import that into the source tree temporarily.
Also, to simplify the use of glib-mkenums, import Makefile.glib from
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/654395.
To avoid having to run glib-mkenums for every subdirectory of src/,
add a new "generated" directory, and put the generated enums files
there.
Finally, use Makefile.glib for marshallers too, and generate separate
ones for libnm-glib and NetworkManager.
Allow IPv6 connections to fail by changing the default value of the may-fail
property for ipv6 settings to TRUE.
This makes sure connections created manually using nm-connection-editor
will default to having the "Require ..." checkbox unchecked; in other words,
IPv6 timing out will still allow the interface to be configured if
IPv4 succeeds.
Add the necessary annotations (the mininum required, that is those
on return values. NULL parameters or container types may require
more), and the Autotools stuff to get a NetworkManager GIR for
libnm-util and a NMClient for libnm-glib.
All IPv6 enabled sites are expected to provide router advertisement
support apparently. If standalone DHCP is really used in the wild
then we can clearly re-enable it later.
When this property is TRUE, IP configuration can continue as long
as at least on IP configuration type succeeds. This allows
connections to networks where the user does not necessarily know
whether the network supports IPv4 or IPv6 and does not require
that both complete succesfully.
Since most of the time the user doesn't really care what type
of connectivity they have, as long as they have *some* connectivity,
this allows better "Just Works" behavior as long as the system
settings plugins and connection editors/applets use the right
defaults.
Suggested defaults for may-fail are:
IPv4: no (ie, require IPv4 connectivity)
IPv6: yes (ie, do not require IPv6 connectivity)
Users who require a specific type of connectivity are probably
knowlegable enough to check the box as needed for their network.
