We shall not only have a PropertyInfo. Most properties share common
behavior, that is, they have a type. Move the function pointers to
a NmcPropertyType structure, so that it can be reused for multiple
properties.
This promotes the idea that properties have a (limited) set of types
with some type specific behaviors. Contrary, to having each property
re-implement fully it's type. E.g. instead of having various property
re-define their full behavior as an "bool", have one property type
"bool" which can be attached to a property.
Add an improved way of tracking meta data about settings.
E.g. it is wrong to generate for each property a nmc_property_*_get_*()
function. Instead, there should be a meta data about the property
itself, and a mechanism to retrieve the property.
For now, only do this for NMSettingConnection and keep all the existing
infrastructure in place. Later on all settings shall be moved.
Especially to accomodate NmcOutputField mangles the concept of
setting-meta data, formatting options, and collecting output results.
It's a total hack, that will be need fixing later.
This will be solved differently by th/setting-user-data-bgo776276
branch. Revert the change for now, the same functionality will be
restored later.
This reverts commit 623d888801.
Don't print value output in the "PRETTY" format when the --terse option
has been specified.
This should allow to feed back the output from "nmcli show" to "nmcli
modify" without changes.
We can't pass the password obtained from
nm_setting_802_1x_get_*private_key_password() to
nm_setting_802_1x_set_*private_key() as the latter also frees the old
password.

* all getter/setter/describe, ... functions grouped according to properties
* sort the settings groups alphabetically
(cherry picked from commit 418733f2c1)
It results in a rather confusing behavior:
# nmcli c modify wifi \
802-1x.private-key /etc/pki/themostsecret.key \
802-1x.private-key-password verystrong
Error: failed to modify 802-1x.private-key: private key
password not provided.
Moreover, the user might have a good reason for not specifying it on a command
liue and it's not strictly required anyway -- we'll do fine if we don't verify
a private key at addition time.
We now require settings-docs.c to be present. Either, configure
with --enable-gtk-doc to have it build, or use the pre-generated file
from the source tarball.
The numeric value of NM_SETTING_PROXY_METHOD_NONE should be zero,
as that is the more natural default.
Also, cast all uses of the enum values in g_object_set() to
(int).
libnm-core: pac-script property in NMSettingProxy now represents the
script itself not the location. It ensures that the connection is
self contained.
nmcli: Supports loading of PAC Script via file path or written explicitly.
Unnecessary APIs have been removed from nm-setting-proxy, client like
nm-connection-editor are expected to create a PAC script snippet the load
the location of file in NM.
For the per-connection settings "ethernet.cloned-mac-address"
and "wifi.cloned-mac-address", and for the per-device setting
"wifi.scan-rand-mac-address", we may generate MAC addresses using
either the "random" or "stable" algorithm.
Add new properties "generate-mac-address-mask" that allow to configure
which bits of the MAC address will be scrambled.
By default, the "random" and "stable" algorithms scamble all bits
of the MAC address, including the OUI part and generate a locally-
administered, unicast address.
By specifying a MAC address mask, we can now configure to perserve
parts of the current MAC address of the device. For example, setting
"FF:FF:FF:00:00:00" will preserve the first 3 octects of the current
MAC address.
One can also explicitly specify a MAC address to use instead of the
current MAC address. For example, "FF:FF:FF:00:00:00 68:F7:28:00:00:00"
sets the OUI part of the MAC address to "68:F7:28" while scrambling
the last 3 octects.
Similarly, "02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00" will scamble
all bits of the MAC address, except clearing the second-least
significant bit. Thus, creating a burned-in address, globally
administered.
One can also supply a list of MAC addresses like
"FF:FF:FF:00:00:00 68:F7:28:00:00:00 00:0C:29:00:00:00 ..." in which
case a MAC address is choosen randomly.
To fully scamble the MAC address one can configure
"02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00 02:00:00:00:00:00".
which also randomly creates either a locally or globally administered
address.
With this, the following macchanger options can be implemented:
`macchanger --random`
This is the default if no mask is configured.
-> ""
while is the same as:
-> "00:00:00:00:00:00"
-> "02:00:00:00:00:00 02:00:00:00:00:00"
`macchanger --random --bia`
-> "02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00"
`macchanger --ending`
This option cannot be fully implemented, because macchanger
uses the current MAC address but also implies --bia.
-> "FF:FF:FF:00:00:00"
This would yields the same result only if the current MAC address
is already a burned-in address too. Otherwise, it has not the same
effect as --ending.
-> "FF:FF:FF:00:00:00 <MAC_ADDR>"
Alternatively, instead of using the current MAC address,
spell the OUI part out. But again, that is not really the
same as macchanger does because you explictly have to name
the OUI part to use.
`machanger --another`
`machanger --another_any`
-> "FF:FF:FF:00:00:00 <MAC_ADDR> <MAC_ADDR> ..."
"$(printf "FF:FF:FF:00:00:00 %s\n" "$(sed -n 's/^\([0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]\) \([0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]\) \([0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]\) .*/\1:\2:\3:00:00:00/p' /usr/share/macchanger/wireless.list | xargs)")"
