- 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purpose except to quickly get out of date (and were only used in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.
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)
When NM was registering all of its enum types by hand, it was using
NamesLikeThis rather than the default names-like-this for the "nick"
values. When we switched to using glib-mkenums, this resulted in
dbus-glib using different strings for the D-Bus error names, causing
compatibility problems.
Fix this by using glib-mkenums annotations to manually fix all the
enum values back to what they were before. (This can't be done in a
more automated way, because the old names aren't 100% consistent. Eg,
"UNKNOWN" frequently becomes "UnknownError" rather than just
"Unknown".)
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.
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.
