Plugins are allowed to 'opt-out' of this behaviour using _RULE_INHIBITS_IDLE.
This should be used where waking up the hardware to coldplug is expensive,
either from a power consumption point of view, or if other artifacts are going
to be seem -- for instance if the screen flickers when probing display devices.
This functionality is also inhibited when the actual upgrade is happening,
for obvious reasons.
Admins can turn off this auto-sleep behaviour by editing the daemon.conf file.
Fixes https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/issues/417
These are set from the AppStream metadata and are specific to the firmware
release.
If not provided, the install duration falls back to the per-device duration
values which can be set in the quirk files.
This allows us to find out the logical parent device, for instance in composite
devices with more than one firmware image for a single device.
We also allow lazily specifying the device parent using a GUID and the engine
then automatically sets the parent object when the GUIDs match, which allows
children and parents to exist in different plugins.
There are a lot of hacks here;
* Pulling newer libappstream-glib from Fedora
* Pulling a systemd backport
* Manually installing pillow and pygobject
* PKCS7 is turned off (gnutls is too old)
GLib creates two static inline functions for paramaters that may
not be used that set off warnings in clang but not gcc.
Ignore these on clang builds everywhere that
G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC is used.
We need to show this agreement text in every fwupd frontend and exporting a
helper function allows us to do two things:
* Share the semi-complicated code (and fallback) to avoid copy and pasting
* Easily change the code in the future, for instance allowing merging Metainfo
and AppStream metadata without updating all the front ends with new logic.
Some devices like the Nitrokey use a generic DFU bootloader that reports a
version number unrelated to the version number of the runtime. Add a flag so
that we can set the correct version when switching plugins during detach and
attach.
This allows us to record whether we've shown the user a notification (either in
the terminal or in a GUI) that an update failed or was successful.
This can't be done in the session otherwise we'd get a notification for every
different user on the system. Notifying also isn't the same as reporting,
although one can certainly follow on from the latter.
Rename FuPending to FuHistory to better represent what the object is now doing.
Also, while we're here, switch to using SQLite prepared statements to avoid a
possible invalid read on i386 hardware.
If a remote like LVFS outputs <location>foo.cab</location> without a prepended
hostname and path then we should use the metadata URI hostname and path instead.
This allows us to trivially mirror a firmware repository, although clients using
older versions of libfwupd will not work without this patch. We should encourage
people to use `FirmwareBaseURI` for a long time yet.
