Several of the string/integer/time functions are duplicated in multiple
source files for no discernable reason. Move them into fwupd-common
as private symbols instead.
This allows us to make smarter policy decisions in the future on when
to show unavailable updates. It also means we can show translated
text in the frond-end clients.
Only problems the user can "fix" are enumerated. For example, opening
the laptop lid, or charging the device battery.
This allows us to show in the tools if a device is currently affected
by a specific CVE. For instance, we could inform the user that a device
requires a critical firmware update that is being actively exploited.
Note, this also means we can show the user a firmware update is now
required, even though the firmware may not be available on the LVFS.
Also show the issue in the `fwupdmgr security` output, e.g.
There are devices with issues:
Samsung — MZVLB2T0HALB-000L7:
• CVE-2022-12345
• CVE-2022-54321
Add a suffix to any GUIDs that are currently unconverted InstanceIDs.
This makes plugin development much easier as you can now see why GUID
quirks in the subclassed ->setup() are not matching.
Until gi-docgen is declared stable support either of them.
This effectively means that hand builds and CI builds will use
gi-docgen, but distro builds use gtk-doc-tools.
Devices may want to support more than one protocol, and for some devices
(e.g. Unifying peripherals stuck in bootloader mode) you might not even be able
to query for the correct protocol anyway.
The docs for `fwupd_device_get_children()` make it very clear that only the
parent should be assigned. Also add a warning to `fwupd_device_add_child()`
explaining it is for internal daemon use only.
The end year is legally and functionally redundant, and more importantly causes
cherry-pick conflicts when trying to maintain old branches. Use git for history.
Asking the user for the UID mapping isn't working very well, as it requires lots
of manual handholding. It also doesn't work very well when the device vendor
does not actually have a PCI ID or if the vendor has split into two entities.
Just use the OUI address as an additional VendorID and match any of the device
IDs against any of the metadata-supplied values.
Otherwise we could be left with a device that sets the expected verfmt in the
plugin _init(), but would not be inherited from the subclass. It would have:
Version: 0.2
VersionFormat: triplet
...which makes no sense.
