The current CDN (~$100/month) is kindly sponsored by Amazon, but that won't
last forever. In the future we can switch to a 'dumb' provider like BunnyCDN
for 1/10th of the cost.
Use a CNAME we control to make switching CDN providers easy in the future.
If a remote like LVFS outputs <location>foo.cab</location> without a prepended
hostname and path then we should use the metadata URI hostname and path instead.
This allows us to trivially mirror a firmware repository, although clients using
older versions of libfwupd will not work without this patch. We should encourage
people to use `FirmwareBaseURI` for a long time yet.
Previously, the various install paths were obtained using get_option
as needed.
This patch unifies the directory selection inside the top-level meson
file as requested in https://github.com/hughsie/colord/pull/62.
We can use this as an alternative for GPG. No PKCS7 certificates are currently
installed by fwupd and it's expected that the LVFS will still only provide GPG
detached signatures.
If an OEM distributor wants to sign firmware with a PKCS7 and the corresponding
certificate is provided then the firmware will be marked as valid.
Only firmware shipping with a .p7b file will use the PKCS7 functionality,
similarly remote metadata validation will default to GPG unless Keyring=pkcs7
is specified in the config file.
In this mode, both the metadata and firmware is stored on the local filesystem
and distributed using a distribution system like OSTree.
Fixes https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/issues/162
Add the concept of 'remotes' that can dropped into /etc and used as firmware
metadata sources. This may be desirable when firmware is only accessable with
a valid support contract or from behind a VPN.
