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.
There is no Manager object, so block devices must be discovered
manually.
Additionally, Type field contains FS name rather than its MBR ID in
hex form or a GPT GUID.

There is a lot of code in fwupd that just assigns a shared object type to
a FuPlugin, and then for each device on that plugin assigns that same shared
object to each FuDevice.
Rather than proxy several kinds of information stores over two different levels
of abstraction create a 'context' which contains the shared *system* state
between the daemon, the plugins and the daemon.
This will allow us to hold other per-machine state in the future, for instance
the system battery level or AC state.
This allows us to 'nest' firmware formats, and removes a ton of duplication.
The aim here is to deprecate FuFirmwareImage -- it's almost always acting
as a 'child' FuFirmware instance, and even copies most of the vfuncs to allow
custom types. If I'm struggling to work out what should be a FuFirmware and
what should be a FuFirmwareImage then a plugin author has no hope.
For simple payloads we were adding bytes into an image and then the image into
a firmware. This gets really messy when most plugins are treating the FuFirmware
*as* the binary firmware file.
The GBytes saved in the FuFirmware would be considered the payload with the
aim of not using FuFirmwareImage in the single-image case.
The former drags on glib-networking and then gsettings-desktop-schemas, which
add over 5Mb to the minimal IoT and CoreOS composes. Everything already uses
libcurl (even NetworkManager!) and so this is an easy way to reduce image size.
fmap is a Google flash layout format that is used in several of Google's
firmware projects, including Chrome OS Embedded Controller and the Chrome OS
coreboot firmwares. Introduce it as a firmware format in libfwupdplugin.
This exports FuSecurityAttrs into libfwupdplugin so that we can pass the plugins
this object rather than a 'bare' GPtrArray. This greatly simplifies the object
ownership, and also allows us to check the object type before adding.
In the future we could also check for duplicate appstream IDs or missing
properties at insertion time.
This change also changes the fu_plugin_add_security_attrs() to not return an
error. This forces the plugin to handle the error, storing the failure in the
attribute itself.
Only the plugin know if a missing file it needs to read indicates a runtime
problem or a simple failure to obtain a specific HSI level.
A Jcat file can be used to store GPG, PKCS-7 and SHA-256 checksums for multiple
files. This allows us to sign a firmware or metadata multiple times (perhaps
by the OEM and also then the LVFS) which further decentralizes the trust model
of the LVFS.
The Jcat format was chosen as the Microsoft catalog format is nonfree and not
documented. We also don't want to modify an existing .cat file created from WU
as this may make it unsuitable to use on Windows.

Quite a few plugins use HID commands to communicate with the hardware. At the
mement we have ~6 implementations of SET_REPORT and are soon to add one more.
Move this into common code.
If the measurements are missing but it's a UEFI system, it's a good indication
that the user has secure boot turned off.
Notify the user on the UEFI device through a non-fatal `UpdateMessage`
To accomplish this, move fu-uefi-vars into the plugin library for other plugins to use
Replace fu_common_cab_build_silo() with an actual GObject that can hold parsing
state. This cleans up the code a lot, and means we can add additional
functionality in the future without breaking ABI or API.
The long term plan is to verify the metadata and payload signatures when
parsing FuCabinet, rather than much later in _check_requirements().
This of course requires passing in a keyring context (which we don't yet have)
and would mean we can stop setting the various confusing 'fwupd::ReleaseBlob'
XbNode extra data.
No logic changes for now, just a lot of moving things into sane places.
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.
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.
