The libnm API fir checkpoints was only introduced with 1.11. It
is not yet stable, so there is still time to adjust it. Note that
this changes API/ABI of the development branch.
Changes:
- we only add async variants of the checkpoint functions. I believe
that synchronous D-Bus methods are fundamentally flawed, because
they mess up the ordering of events.
Rename the async functions by removing the "_async" suffix. This
matches glib style, for which the async form is also not specially
marked.
- for function that refere to a particular checkpoint (rollback and
destroy), accept the D-Bus path as string, instead of an NMCheckpoint
instance. This form is more flexible, because it allows to use
the function without having a NMCheckpoint instance at hand. On the
other hand, if one has a NMCheckpoint instance, he can trivially
obtain the path to make the call.
- make python2 and python3 compatible
- support Checkpoint create flags (requires recent libnm for GI
of flags)
- support adjust-rollback-timeout command
- print elapsed time in show output
Note that this changes API for checkpoint_create_async() in Python
via GIR. Previously it would require an integer argument, now a flags
argument. But this API is still unstable, it will be introduced with
1.12.
