In 1de7cc we checked the version format when checking for update, but there are
many other places that are doing verfmt-insensitive comparisons. For instance,
the predicates in <requires> all fail if the device version format is plain.
his breaks updating some NVMe drives where the `ne` requirements are not
semantic versions.
To avoid trying to catch all the bugs in different places, and in case we have
a future verfmt that should be treated another way, refactor this out in to a
common function and deprecate the old function.
Sometimes the plugin will want to influence the subclassed device, for instance
by reading a per-plugin config file. At the moment there's no way to do this,
as even _device_registered() is explicitly designed for devices *not* created
by the plugin itself.
Even if _device_registered() was changed to include the plugin creating the
object it would still happen well after the device has done _probe() and/or
_setup() and would probably be too late to do anything useful.
In some hardware there are two identical USB hubs with different firmware.
One is upstream, and one is downstream, making up to 7 user-available ports.
Use the 'removable' bitfield to target the proper firmware to the correct
device, on the logic that the setting will be different on upstream (removable)
and downstream (non-removable, as on the same PCB) hubs.
There's no reason to prevent NULL, and doing so means the caller has to check
before setting the value. Only one subclassed type was actually doing this...
Some hardware does not handle upgrading from version 1.2.2 to 1.2.4 and instead
needs to be upgraded from 1.2.2->1.2.3->1.2.4 so that on-device metadata can be
migrated correctly.
Add a new per-device flag `install-all-releases` which causes the daemon to not
skip directly to the newest release. This is designed to be set from a quirk
file.
This can obviously only be used for devices that can apply firmware "live" and
thus do not need a reboot or system shutdown to actually apply the firmware.
This also needs the cabinet archive to ship multiple versions of the firmware,
and for the metainfo.xml file to refer to multiple release objects.
Dell does not include the first byte in the ESRT value, ignoring it. Using a
`quad` means we get versions like `0.1.4.0` rather than `1.4.0` which confuses
both users comparing versions to the vendor website, and also anyone trying to
do analysis on the firmware.
Add various fixes to enable us to build a selection of useful USB plugins.
Also, skip tests that don't make sense on WIN32 or that will not work.
With much help from Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@dell.com> -- Thanks!
We don't actually need either of the things it provides (looking up in source
and built, and converting to an absolute path) so just replace it with
g_build_filename() instead.
This also has the advantage that it does the right thing on Windows.
This splits out all development files, including headers into their
own packages where relevant.
Notably absent is `fu-hash.h` which is used for determining taint.
Out of tree developed plugins should still taint the daemon.
