It doesn't work anymore:
$ git clone git://github.com/thom311/libnl.git
Cloning into 'libnl'...
fatal: remote error:
The unauthenticated git protocol on port 9418 is no longer supported.
Please see https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/ for more information.
On recent Fedora and RHEL we no longer have differing "rpm_version"
and "real_version". So usually "rpm_version" is just the same as
"real_version".
Update the template spec file to reflect that. For the "build_clean.sh"
script, we anyway always set them both to "__VERSION__".
With "rc1" mode, we install more than one tarballs (the one for 1.37.90
and 1.39.0). If we reach this point, we already pushed the git tags.
There is no way back.
Ignore errors at first and try to release all tarballs. Only signal the error
at the end.
"find-backports" script parses the commit messages to figure out which
patches to backport. We use "refs/notes/bugs" notes to extend the
meta data after the commit was merged. If you don't setup the
notes, the output is likely incomplete or wrong.
Yes, this is annoying. It requires you to setup the notes as described
in "CONTRIBUTING.md". Also because the "release.sh" script runs "find-backports",
so that means you cannot do releases without setting up the notes
(unless you manually disable running "find-backports"). But you really shouldn't
make a release based on incomplete information.
"Ignore-Backport:" is already in use. For the find-backports script it
has the same meaning as a "cherry picked from" line, that means, we
assume that the referenced patch was backported already and the fix
applied.
This is of course useful to make the script shut up about backports that
we don't want to do. However, it requires us to tag the old branch
with this, so that the script thinks that the patch is already there.
Imaging we have a wrong commit on "next" branch with a Fixes line. We
don't want to backport it, so we would have to tag the "old" branch with
"Ignore-Backport:". That is cumbersome.
Instead, now also support that if a commit contains a "Fixes:" line any
an "Ignore-Fixes:" for the same fixed commit, then this let's the
"Fixes:" line be ignored.
This is more for completeness, to go along "nm-code-format.sh"
script.
Usually it's very simple to run black directly (you may still do that).
However, black by default only reformats files with ".py" extension.
So to get all our python files, you'd need to know and explicitly
select them... or use this script.
Also, `black .` scans the entire source tree, and is rather slow.
This script knows which files to select and is thus faster.
By having a ".md" extension, gitlab renders a nice page instead of
showing as plain text.
Currently our README is pretty bad. Partly, because it doesn't get
shown nicely.
Rename. The file effectively was already markdown. The old file is
gone.
For this we also need to change the automake flavor to "foreign"
(See [1]).

This is needed to get "/usr/share/gettext/its/polkit.its",
otherwise msgfmt will fail on Debian:
/usr/bin/msgfmt: cannot locate ITS rules for data/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy.in
When we have a GError* variable on the stack, we usually want to pass
it on to function that can fail. In that case, the variable MUST be
initialized to NULL. This is an easy mistake to make.
Note that this check still can have lots of false positives, for
example, if you have a struct with an GError field. In that case, you
would need to ensure that the entire struct is initialized. Ignore the
warning then.
Also, the check misses if you declare multiple variables on one line.
But that is already discouraged by our style.
NetworkManager-wait-online is a constant source of confusion,
as it seems to delay the boot (when it's often just the messenger
or either a network problem, a NetworkManager misconfiguration
or a misconfiguration of other systemd services).
Try to clear that up with a manual page.

Recent meson versions treat unknown options as error and break now the
build. Good from them. This was an oversight.
Fixes: bbb1f5df2f ('libnm: always build libnm with JSON validation')
"-" is not allowed as D-Bus path and interface name, and discouraged as
bus name. This cause nm-priv-helper to crash, because GDBus asserts the
the object path is valid.
Replace the '-' with '_'. This way, it's consistent with
"nm_dispatcher".
Fixes: d68ab6b8f0 ('nm-sudo: rename to nm-priv-helper')
Previously (on RHEL<=8 and Fedora<=35), NetworkManager package contains
the compat scripts nm-ifup/nm-ifdown.
If initscripts package (not network-scripts!) is installed, then a RPM
trigger links them as alternatives for the ifup/ifdown commands.
One problem is that `dnf provides /usr/sbin/ifup` lists the
NetworkManager package. Which is technically true, but on RHEL9 where
initscripts is not installed by default, `dnf install NetworkManager`
does not actually create those scripts.
Solve that by moving those scripts to a new subpackage
NetworkManager-initscripts-updown. The %post script now always creates the
alternatives links, regardless whether initscripts package is installed.
Note that on RHEL8, NetworkManager package not only Obsoletes: but also
Suggests: the new package.
The name "initscripts-updown" is chosen because in the future we might
have additonal initscripts/ifcfg related subpackages to contain the
ifcfg-rh plugin (NetworkManager-initscripts-ifcfg) or ifcfg-rh migration
tools (NetworkManager-initscripts-tools).

There are very few places left where we would accept tabs in a source
file. Warn about that, even if it might cause some false positives.
I think this line was commented out due to a mistake.
The "Ignore-Backport" tag can be used to mark a commit that should not
be backported. Similar to the "cherry picked from" line, which indicates
that the patch was backported.
Anyway, this didn't work correctly, because we first pre-filter the
commits we search (as a performance optimization) by using `git-log` to
get a subset of the commits we want to investigate.
So if you had a commit with an "Ignore-Backport" tag, but without "cherry
picked from" line, then it wasn't found.
Fix that.
Older branches, like "nm-1-32" will always be formatted with a
different, older clang-format version. Luckily we also have on "nm-1-32"
branch the "nm-code-format-container.sh" script, so we can still
reformat the sources using the container.
However, as the name of the container was always "nm-code-format",
we would have to re-generate the container when we switch between
branches. As the container really only depends on the Fedora version
(as the clang-format version is tied to the corresponding Fedora
version), let's include the Fedora version in the name of the container.
Completely rework IP configuration in the daemon. Use NML3Cfg as layer 3
manager for the IP configuration of an interface. Use NML3ConfigData as
pieces of configuration that the various components collect and
configure. NMDevice is managing most of the IP configuration at a higher
level, that is, it starts DHCP and other IP methods. Rework the state
handling there.
This is a huge rework of how NetworkManager daemon handles IP
configuration. Some fallout is to be expected.
It appears the patch deletes many lines of code. That is not accurate, because
you also have to count the files `src/core/nm-l3*`, which were unused previously.

We have multiple ways to define properties (like, GVariant based
nm_setting_option_*() or GObject based properties). For the latter,
they nowadays should all be implemented via _nm_setting_property_define_direct_*()
API.
There is a mix of new /usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-239.so
(systemd-libs rpm) and old /usr/bin/udevadm (systemd-udev rpm) on
the system at the point NetworkManager's post scriptlet is run,
what causes warning messages when updating NetworkManager's version.
This commit fixes this.

Make checkpatch.pl identify subtree merges in "git am"-formatted
patches and reconstruct the full path names based in the subtree root.
This fixes some spurious warnings for parts of the tree that use
different coding style from what we usually do.

It doesn't actually work inside the root-less container...
Well, it works as far as starting to activate, before it
fails. That is still somewhat useful. So have it there...
