This allows us to override the location we load data files from, which
allows us to do more kinds of installed tests in the future.
Also, move the global data/tests content into the place that it is used
as it was getting impossible to manage.
Now two plugins are using hardcoded SPI constants for various CFI chips,
and it makes sense to have some common quirk data that can be used by
both.
Add a FuSpiChip helper object that can be used by FuDevice subclasses
to get the specific SPI commands to use for each flash ID.
This allows us to do a few things:
* Remove the runtime dep on Python 3, which is tricky for ChromeOS
* Test composite devices more efficiently, only writing once per test
* Automatically upload signed reports for successful device tests.
It is a good practice to install files relative to our own variables
https://www.bassi.io/articles/2018/03/15/pkg-config-and-paths/
and it is required on systems like NixOS.
Unfortunately, systemd allows overriding the root prefix,
see also 1c2c7c6cb3,
so we cannot just do that.
Let's at least make the systemd installation prefix overridable.
This will also allow us to drop `systemdsystemunitdir` option since
systemd hardcodes it to `${rootprefix}/lib/systemd/system`.
The README says: "A test suite that can be used to interact with a fake device is installed when configured with `-Ddaemon=true` and `-Dtests=true`", so actually only install these tests when tests are enabled.
This allows it to be refreshed anytime the daemon updates rather
than once a day by a systemd job.
As part of this change, remove the logging from `fwupdmgr` which
was only used for motd purposes.
This allows us to easily build just libfwupd in a flatpak manifest without
installing dozens of deps to build things we're just going to delete anyway.
Fixes Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=921820
Introduce a new --log option to fwupdmgr that will log stdout to an argument.
If run under systemd, prefix that argument with $RUNTIME_DIRECTORY.
Add a new systemd unit and associated timer to regularly refresh metadata.
After the metadata refresh is complete, save the output to the motd location.
The timer and service are disabled by default and can be enabled by an admin.
This allows several things, for instance:
* Adding or removing blacklisted plugins or devices
* Changing the idle timeout where allowed
...without a user needing to manually modify a configuration file.
This is intended for devices that it is not safe to immediately activate
the firmware. It may be called at a more convenient time instead.
Both fwupdmgr and fwupdtool support the feature.
- if called at runtime with fwupdmgr it uses the daemon
- during shutdown fwupdtool uses the pending.db to perform this feature.
For this we need to register as a console application (which fwupdtool is, I
suppose) and also supply a usable icon.
I've used the new GNOME icon theme guidelines so please add a drop shadow
before using: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Initiatives/issues/2
/boot is a special cased directory when using ProtectSystem=full
Due to this, it's marked read only even if it's listed in ReadWritePaths.
Allow folks to use this for their ESP, but they need to create /boot/EFI
in advance of starting fwupd.
Check across a list of common EFI system partition locations for a mounted
location before starting fwupd.
This also will cause the plugin to not initialize if the EFI system partition
is not mounted.
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.
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.
Make systemd and ConsoleKit support an optional compile time flag
with both enabled by default. If both are used, the ifdef/elif will
ensure only the systemd calls are used so there's no conflict.
