Overview of changes in nmutils-20241215

BREAKING CHANGE:

  • package installs now look for config in /etc/nmutils by default (/etc/nmutils/conf still used for 'make install' installs)

Other significant changes:

  • Rewrite of 08-ipv6-prefix adding:
    • dhcpcd dhcp client support
      • adds RFC6603 prefix exclude support
      • supports RA DNS assignments
  • ipv6.method=ignore full ipv6 management
    • required for dhcpcd client support
    • rdisc6 may be needed for default maintenance
    • resolvectl or resolvconf needed for DNS handling
  • many config changes may now be made with nmcli device reapply
  • dhcp client monitoring to recover from lockups/bugs in client
  • DNS server routes added
  • Source-based prefix routes supporting multiple WANs without firewall rules
  • Unreachable routes for unassigned prefix subnets
  • Configurable route metrics (DNS routes or SADR routes)
  • Gateway monitoring and active restoration
  • Subnet deprecation when gateway lost (after short timeout), WAN down, or via external trigger (see "deprecate" command)
  • DAD detection of generated addresses, and address retry
  • fallback dhclient-script support if requested
  • monitor and dhcp client daemons managed with systemctl
  • 08-ipv6-prefix may now be run directly, commands include
    • deprecate for creating/releasing multiple independent prefix deprecation "locks"
    • status to display current WAN/LAN stats
    • help to display full documentation
  • extensive tests for all core features
  • Addition of 96-interface-action to complement dispatcher_action
    • systemctl action independent of state-file creation/removal
    • is-enable may be ignored (great for startup after iface up)
    • actions enabled by config file presence (no creating dispatchers) with simpler config and additional features.
  • meson patch and install (supporting relocation). Package installation can be easily masked by non-package install for temporary overrides of source/config for testing/evaluation.
  • Makefile supporing:
    • make help to explain targets
    • make install and make uninstall
    • make dist for source tar
    • make tarball for patched install tar
    • make srpm and make rpm for package creation
  • Test suite expanded to include:
    • nmcli-mock supporting state modification (updates)
    • dummy-mock generalized to support most "fake binaries" via symlinks
    • ip-mock added support for link, route and monitor. Much better ipv6 prefix support
    • Many tests for added functionlity (now over 1400!)
      • new functions
      • dhcpcd client
      • ipv6.method=ignore
  • general-functions updated with many new functions
    • general hashing
    • ip monitor support for watching address/route changes
    • ipv6 prefix compression
    • ip route functions
    • many new tests
    • re-licensed LGPLv3
