Add a new 'rc-manager' configuration parameter that allows to select
the strategy used to write resolv.conf; currently supported values
are: none|resolvconf|netconfig, 'none' meaning that NM directly writes
the file.
The default value of the parameter is 'none'; however if a
RESOLVCONF_PATH (or NETCONFIG_PATH) is specified at build time, the
default value will be 'resolvconf' (or 'netconfig').
Even Fedora is no longer shipping the WiMAX SDK, so it's likely we'll
eventually accidentally break some of the code in src/devices/wimax/
(if we haven't already). Discussion on the list showed a consensus for
dropping support for WiMAX.
So, remove the SDK checks from configure.ac, remove the WiMAX device
plugin and associated manager support, and deprecate all the APIs.
For compatibility reasons, it is still possible to create and save
WiMAX connections, to toggle the software WiMAX rfkill state, and to
change the "WIMAX" log level, although none of these have any effect,
since no NMDeviceWimax will ever be created.
nmcli was only compiling in support for most WiMAX operations when NM
as a whole was built with WiMAX support, so that code has been removed
now as well. (It is still possible to use nmcli to create and edit
WiMAX connections, but those connections will never be activatable.)
NM core uses nm-logging which is entirely configurable at runtime.
Other components use glib-logging, which can also be partly configured
via G_MESSAGES_DEBUG.
It makes sense to have a compile time option to enable some
logging statements that are only useful for heavy debugging.
For glib-logging, this is a way to enable/disable extra logging.
For nm-logging, we could alternatively configure a least log-level
that is enabled at compile time (that way, we could configure to prune all
LOGL_TRACE logging). While that might be useful (too), this gives
an alternative way to disable/enable logging.
Add a configure option --enable-more-logging and a NM_MORE_LOGGING define
for that.
If we don't find this useful after a while, we can simply remove it,
because our logging statements are not part of a "stable" behavior.
NM already has two kinds of assertions:
- g_assert*(), conditionally compiled via #ifndef G_DISABLE_ASSERT
- g_return*(), conditionally compiled via #ifndef G_DISABLE_CHECKS
In theory, one should be able to disable both asserts and NM should
still work correctly (and possibly more efficient). In practice,
hardly anybody is testing such a configuration and it might be broken.
Especially, we don't disable asserts for production builds, both because
of less test coverage and because it might reduce our ability to debug.
Add a new configure option --enable-more-asserts, which defines
NM_MORE_ASSERTS and nm_assert(). This is for expensive asserts,
that -- contrary to the asserts above -- are disabled by default.
This is useful for extended debugging.
The previous change turned out to be wrong despite it was nothing more
than a reversion of the respective lines.

First, configure.ac's grep was wrong and wasn't setting DHCPCD_SUPPORTS_IPV6,
which caused dhcpcd to acquire a DHCPv6 address when NM didn't think that
was going to happen, and thus DHCP options couldn't be parsed.
Second, even if that does happen, don't just assert and quit, but set the
DHCP state to failed.

Before, the Wi-Fi plugin was always build. Users who didn't want
to use it would simply drop "libnm-device-plugin-wifi.so".
Add a compile time option to disable needlessly building the plugin.

When specifying '--enable-lto=anything' or '--disable-lto',
the configure script would always set enable_lto=yes.
The only way to disable lto, was *not* specifying the
configure option.

Merged all session tracking modules into one source file and simplified
it substantially. Now systemd-logind and ConsoleKit support can be built
in at the same time and both are detected at runtime. This is useful on
source based as well as binary distributions.

In the 'configure.ac' script we already detect the git commit id
for the current source version. When creating a tarball, it is also
included inside the generated 'configure' script.
Add the commit id as a static string to nm-utils.c. That way, having
a build of libnm.so or NetworkManager, you can quickly find the
corresponding git commit:
strings src/NetworkManager | grep NM_GIT_SHA
Note that this only works after a new `autogen.sh` run. Only rebuilding
is not enough. Hence, you must rebuild all to ensure that the correct
commit id is embedded.

Takes about 3x as long to build with gcc 4.8, but gcc 4.9

docs/api/settings-spec.xml was accidentally not getting disted,
because gtk-doc.make explicitly removes all DISTCLEANFILES from
distdir. However, it doesn't actually make sense for the settings docs
files to be in DISTCLEANFILES anyway; they were put there rather than
CLEANFILES (IIRC) so that "make clean" in a tarball build wouldn't
delete them and break things. But the right fix is to just make them
only be in CLEANFILES when BUILD_SETTING_DOCS is true, and not ever
get deleted otherwise.
Also adjust the build rules to ensure that the generated docs don't
get rebuilt in tarball builds, since that can cause problems when
building from a read-only source tree, etc.
Meanwhile, in an unrelated but also fatal bug, configure.ac's check
for if the generated docs were already present never got updated for
the cli/src -> clients/cli move, and so even if we had been disting
settings-spec.xml, configure would still think that the tarball didn't
have all of the generated docs in it, so SETTING_DOCS_AVAILABLE would
be set false and none of the generated docs would get used.

This adds service discovery via SDP and RFCOMM tty management to
NetworkManager, as it was dropped from Bluez.
Based on work by Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com>.
The SDP discovery is based on code from Bluez project.
Let the user completly disable polkit authentication by
building NM with configure option '--enable-polkit=disabled'.
In that case, configuring 'main.auth-polkit=yes' will fail all
authentication requests (except root-requests, which are always granted).
This reduces the size of the NetworkManager binary by some 26KB (16KB
stripped).

This makes NetworkManager independent of <polkit/polkit.h>
development headers and libpolkit-gobject-1.so library.
Instead communicate directly with polkit using its DBUS
interface.
PolicyKit support is now always compiled in. You can control
polkit authorization with the configuration option
[main]
auth-polkit=yes|no
If the configure option is omitted, a build time default
value is used. This default value can be set with the
configure option --enable-polkit.
This commit adds a new class NMAuthManager that reimplements the
relevant DBUS client parts. It takes source code from the polkit
library.

There's not much point in keeping them separate: all existing
libnm-glib-vpn users also link against libnm-glib, and the amount of
extra code added to libnm by merging in libnm-vpn is negligible.
Additionally, nm-vpn-plugin will later need access to some
libnm-internal APIs.
So, merge them together.
Instead of having basically the same code in a bunch of different
place to find helper programs, just have one place do it. Yes, this
does mean that the same sequence of paths is searched for all helpers
(so for example, dnsmasq will no longer be found first in /usr/local)
but I think consistency is the better option here.

Instead of handling iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table) in the ifcfg-rh plugin,
create a new plugin for it. This allows all distributions to use iBFT
configuration, and makes both iBFT handling and ifcfg-rh less complicated.
The plugin (like the old ifcfg-rh code) creates read-only connections backed
by the data exported by iscsiadm. The plugin does not support adding new
connections or modifying existing connections (since the iBFT data is
read-only anyway). Instead, users should change their iBFT data through
the normal firmware interfaces.
Unmanaged devices can be configured through NetworkManager.conf and the
normal 'keyfile' mechanisms.
(In the future, we'll read this data directly from the kernel's
/sys/firmware/ibft/ethernetX directory instead of iscsiadm, since the
kernel has all the information we need and that's where iscsiadm gets
it from anyway.)

The scripts extracts plugin description from document comments for particular
properties and builds a XML file out of the data. The XML file can be used
later for generating manual pages or other documentation.
Unfortunately, gtk-doc won't allow descriptions that would be separated from
the main gtk-doc stuff. But it is still useful to have plugin description bits
co-located with property definitions. We use our home-grown comments and parse
them ourself. Afterall it's not that bad, and in addition it brings us a
freedom in shaping the comments to our needs.
Previously, user could only change the udev base directory,
but not disabling installation entirely.
Support this now with:
./configure --with-udev-dir=no
or
./configure --without-udev-dir
Also, just passing '--with-udev-dir' equals '--with-udev-dir=yes'.
Treat 'yes' equal to the default '/lib/udev'.
Also, check that the path is an absolute path starting with a '/'.

This fixes up the code from the previous "clean" import, and adds
build infrastructure.
[There are two slightly orthogonal sets of changes in this patch.
First, the files added in the previous commit were modified as followed:
# Replace internal references to "libnm-util" and "libnm-glib" with "libnm"
perl -pi -e 's/libnm-(util|glib)/libnm/;' libnm-core/*.[ch] libnm-core/tests/*.[ch] libnm/*.[ch] libnm/tests/*.[ch]
# Fix includes of the enum-types files
perl -pi -e 's/nm-utils-enum-types/nm-core-enum-types/;' libnm-core/*.[ch] libnm-core/tests/*.[ch] libnm/*.[ch] libnm/tests/*.[ch]
perl -pi -e 's/nm-glib-enum-types/nm-enum-types/;' libnm/*.[ch] libnm/tests/*.[ch]
# Fix some python example code
perl -pi -e 's/import NMClient/import NM/;' -e 's/NMClient.Client\(\)/NM.Client()/;' libnm/nm-client.c
Then, the build infrastructure was added (without further modifying
any existing files in libnm-core or libnm.)
Note: to regenerate libnm.ver after rebase:
(head -2 libnm-util/libnm-util.ver; (grep -h '\s'nm_ libnm-util/libnm-util.ver libnm-glib/libnm-glib.ver | env LANG=C sort); tail -3 libnm-util/libnm-util.ver) > libnm/libnm.ver
]
When building with '--disable-concheck' with libsoup installed,
configure would set HAVE_LIBSOUP. But without connection
checking, we didn't link against libsoup, resulting in a
linker error.
Add a new configure option '--with-libsoup' / '--without-libsoup'
to control whether linking against libsoup.
The combination '--without-libsoup --enable-concheck' does not
make sense.

Some subdirectories of src/ encapsulate large chunks of functionality,
but src/config/, src/logging/, and src/posix-signals/ are really only
separated out because they used to be built into separate
sub-libraries that were needed either for test programs, or to prevent
circular dependencies. Since this is no longer relevant, simplify
things by moving their files back into the main source directory.
The remaining contents of the test/ directory are:
- 2 python example programs that aren't as good as the ones in examples/
- a test of the deprecated libnm_glib API which isn't as good as the one
in libnm-glib/
- A DHCP-related test program that hasn't been relevant since 2005
Let's just kill it all
Create a new clients/ subdirectory at the top level, and move cli/ and
tui/ into it, as well as nm-online.c (which was previously in test/,
which made no sense).
cli/ was split into two subdirectories, src/ and completion/. While
this does simplify things (given that the completion file and the
binary both need to be named "nmcli"), it bloats the source tree, and
we can work around it by just renaming the completion file at install
time. Then we can combine the two directories into one and just have
it all under clients/cli/.
