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.
This pivots the data storage so that the group is used as the preconditon
and the key name is used as the parameter to change. This allows a more natural
data flow, where a new device needs one new group and a few few keys, rather
than multiple groups, each with one key.
This also allows us to remove the key globbing when matching the version format
which is often a source of confusion.
Whilst changing all the quirk files, change the key prefixes to be more familiar
to Windows users (e.g. Hwid -> Smbios, and FuUsbDevice -> DeviceInstanceId)
who have to use the same IDs in Windows Update.
This also allows us to pre-match the desired plugin, rather than calling the
probe() function on each plugin.
Requiring colord to be built before fwupd makes it hard to build packages.
The HID-based flashing protocol is stable and documented, so there's no need
to use an external library for this now.
When developing code it's really convenient to only run the new plugin. This
means you don't have to wait for the other hardware to initialize and there
are no side-effects from other plugins when installing firmware.
You can specify multiple plugins as globs, for instance:
fwupdtool get-devices \
--plugin-whitelist wacom \
--plugin-whitelist "thunderbolt*"
In the future the Linux Foundation will be running the LVFS server.
To make this possible, include the Linux Foundation public keys by default as
we already trust them. Obviously the keys need to be available long before
vendors move, so nobody should get too worried at this point.
This means we can avoid loading a ton of non-fwupd files, and reduces our
running RSS from 5.4Mb to 2.8Mb. Old versions of appstream-glib caches a lot of
the localization string data which we just don't care about for firmware files.
The current CDN (~$100/month) is kindly sponsored by Amazon, but that won't
last forever. In the future we can switch to a 'dumb' provider like BunnyCDN
for 1/10th of the cost.
Use a CNAME we control to make switching CDN providers easy in the future.
If this happens:
1.2.3 -> 1.2.4 = failure
1.2.3 -> 1.2.5 = success
...we want to preserve both in the history database so they can both be shared
with the LVFS. Use the device ID and the new and old firmware versions when
modifying and deleting entries.
This fix is made slightly more tricky as we have to drop the PRIMARY KEY
attribute on the device_id, and due to a limitation in SQLite, it means copying
the old history into a new table.
The previous fix (db6ed9ede3) didn't
do a good enough job and autopkgtest was still failing on another
individual test.
This makes sure that stderr will never conflict with autopkgtest
in the future.
The autopkgtest test cases in Debian and Ubuntu are failing due to
output present in stderr.
fwupdmgr behavior however is that it's expected that this test should
show output on stderr for this item.
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.
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.
