Add a dispatcher script to NetworkManager to configure
B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced interfaces. This quite a bit hacky at it is
triggered for network connections that have the keyword "BATMAN" in
them. The proper way to implement this is as a core change in
NetworkManager itself (as it lacks plugins). It is done is the hope
that it will garner some more interest in FreedomBox for mesh networks.
Currently, it is possible to create a BATMAN mesh network and shared
existing internet connections on it. Other boxes can then join this
mesh network and use that internet connection.
Known issues:
- Very unintuitive setup process. First create a connection with device
a Wi-Fi device, mode as ad-hoc, with a known frequency and BSSID. The
name of the connection should have contain BATMAN in it. It should
also have IPv4 method as disabled. Second connection should be
created for 'bat0' interface after the first on is successful. It can
be with method 'shared' for sharing internet connection and doing DHCP
requests or 'auto' for aqcuiring IP address from another node in the
mesh network.
- Untested for joining existing mesh networks.
- Requires configuring two network connections and the second one needs
to be manually enabled after the first one is successfully activated.
We pretty much only run in systemd environment and I don't see that
changing any time soon. By relying on it, we can reduce some burden.
Remove init script.
Daemonizing is not needed for systemd. Remove code related
daemonization.
Since we are running PAM update script from users action file, it is
appropriate for the PAM configurations that are effected by it to stay
here in Plinth as well.
- Add gettext as build dependency
- Add setup.py commands for compiling and updating .po files.
- Clean compiled .mo files on ./setup.py clean
- Install .po and .mo files to destination on ./setup.py install
- Compile .po files when running ./setup.py build
There doesn't seem to be a simple way to integrate Django .po file
dealing with ./setup.py mechanism.
- Merge actions/pagekite_util.py into plinth/modules/pagekite/util.py.
- Rename plinth/modules/pagekite/util.py to utils.py.
- Add python-augeus as dependency.
- Move actions/util.py to plinth/action_utils.py and update services
that use it.
- Rename _run() method to run() as it is being used publicly.
- Import the utils in a more conventional manner.
- Move all python2 bits to python3.
- Add django-test-settings.py for Django settings
- Add runtests.py for setting up Django test environment
- Add Django test setup support to setup.py and coverage.py
- Add new test module test_kvstore.py
- Enable existing Django-dependent tests in test_context_processors.py and test_menu.py
- Introduce Apache configuration for plinth.
- Remove Transmission service file for firewalld.
- Enable transmission on install.
- Enable/disable Apache configuration on Transmission on enable/disable.
- Remove IP address whilelisting as 127.0.0.1 is the default setting and
is sufficient for Apache to reverse proxy.
- Update UI URL.
- When running in an environment without systemd, the changes are completely
ignored.
- When running under systemd, the patch introduces a systemd native service
file to take advantages of nice feature provided by systemd.
- One of the feature currently taken advantage of is the ability to restart the
service automatically if it ever crashes or exits with error.
- Another feature is that when we wish to kill Plinth all the processes under
the cgroup are killed as well.
- Add files .travis.yml and requirements.txt
- In setup.py, remove 'pygobject' from install_requires
- In setup.py, add 'pyyaml' to install_requires
- Add file plinth/tests/coverage/__init__.py
- Rename file plinth/tests/coverage/test_coverage.py to coverage.py
- In plinth/tests/coverage/coverage.py, rename class TestCoverageCommand
to CoverageCommand
- Uses PackageKit dameon, Glib library wrapping packagekit DBUS API and
Python bindings for the Glib library.
- Implement a decorator to wrap views requiring packages.
- Framework allows for parallel operations. However, doing parallel
operations hangs because of what appears to be PackageKit backend
limitations.
- Coverage should only be required if running tests
- When running test_coverage command all the install dependencies and
test dependencies should be installed.
- Implement coverage functionality as a setuptools Command subclass
(in plinth/tests/coverage/test_coverage.py)
- Register the new 'test_coverage' command in setup.py
- Modify the INSTALL file to specify python3-coverage as a new dependency
- Modify the HACKING file to document the new 'test_coverage' command
- Have git (via .gitignore) ignore the '.coverage' output data file and
the contents of the 'plinth/tests/coverage/report' directory
- There is no point in keeping this one single file as with different
license from the rest of the package. This change simplifies things.
- The file has been almost entirely been rewritten for Django, module
loading, CherryPy static directories etc.
- This change will be pushed with the consent of new authors: fonfon and
Me.
Setup.py list will need python modules list and doesn't understand
Debian packages. Setup.py will try to install libjs-boostrap as a
Python module and download it from PyPI.
