This is a large commit that removes all the providers and turns them into
plugins. I think having both providers _and_ plugins was super confusing.
Plugins are loaded at runtime so you could in theory develop a new plugin
without putting it in the fwupd source tree, although there are no installed
headers or PC files as I'm not sure it's a good idea at this stage.
This commit moves all the per-provider docs, tests, notes, debug dumps and test
data to plugin-specific directories -- these also allows the plugin author to
"own" more of the source tree so we don't enforce fu- prefixes and the style
guide everywhere.
This allows us to run the same action on all the plugins in the future, so we
could have a prepare(FuPlugin, FuDevice) and cleanup(FuPlugin, FuDevice) run
on *all* plugins, so doing an update using one plugin would allow us to work
around hardware quirks in other plugins.
If I've broken your out-of-tree provider it's trivial to port to the new API
with sed and a fixed up build file. If you need help please let me know.
The DFU specification specifies that only one of the DFU interfaces has to
export a functional descriptor; I assumed they all had to. Adding support
for this kind of device rapidly turned into a massive restructure and it was
all too complicated anyway.
Reorganise the code so that we can support these kinds of devices and clean up
the API so it's sane and easy to use. This also allows us to generate the
GObject introspection GIR and to also install libdfu as a shared library.
If you've got any comments about the API, please shout now as when 6.0 is
released it will become API and ABI stable.
This downloads the latest version of the firmware and applies it to any
matching hardware. e.g.
$ fwupdmgr update
Downloading 1.2.3 for ColorHug...
Updating 1.2.3 on ColorHug...
* Loading firmware
* Decompressing firmware
* Restarting device
* Writing firmware to device
* Verifying firmware from device
* Restarting device
Done!
It seems a little odd to call it 'Update' when it's being used for downgrading
and reinstalling as well.
As we're making things simpler, just use a single 'install' action in fwupdmgr
rather than 'install', 'update-online', 'update-offline'. We can use the flags
and fallbacks to do the right thing in all cases, and make the typical case
(installing a local file to any matching hardware) simple.
