[FFE] NetworkManager 1.0.4

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

NetworkManager 1.0.4 fixes a large number of potential bugs in handling network configurations, along with letting us be up to date with the current developments upstream (which has been an issue in previous releases, where NM had to be kept back due to requirements on the phone side). These requirements are not issues for the moment, so this release is the perfect time to update NM to a the current stable and recommended version.

It's already in -proposed now, but had multiple issues in autopkgtests and some smaller issues with failures in unit tests which have so far caused it to be blocked in proposed.

It has been tested for three weeks in various configurations, connecting to wifi (open, WPA2, WPA-Enterprise), ethernet, and VPNs (openvpn). It works properly in KDE and GNOME environments without changes to the UI components.

Other NM components (VPNs, for example) continue to function as there have not been substancial changes to the API.

Attached and linked are build logs, etc.

I've picked these three as examples, but NM builds successfully on all architectures.

12:45 < infinity> cyphermox: But, more seriously, I already verbally approved NM 1.x a couple of weeks ago, right?
12:46 < infinity> cyphermox: So, I'm fine with this, and all the happier that you took the time to make it all happy and get it tested, rather than jamming it in just to make a deadline.

This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 1.0.4-0ubuntu3

---------------
network-manager (1.0.4-0ubuntu3) wily; urgency=medium

  * New upstream NM release post-feature-freeze. (LP: #1493934)
    (previous revisions never transitioned from proposed)

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * debian/tests/nm: Revert the previous disabling of tests, they are all
    conceptually still valid.
  * debian/tests/nm: Reduce timeouts to something reasonable; waiting 3
    minutes for detecing an AP should not count as "success", and it takes too
    long for tests to fail.
  * debian/tests/nm: Fix ColdplugWifi.test_no_ap: with 1.0 the state is now
    "UNAVAILABLE" instead of "DISCONNECTED"; so check for either.

  [ Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ]
  * debian/patches/git_config_parse_cmdline_args_8a22a981.patch: don't shadow
    the config_cli parameter for early config with a local copy. (LP: #1492168)
  * d/p/0001-wwan-add-support-for-using-oFono-as-a-modem-manager.patch: fix
    signal handling for oFono using GDBus; it's a little simpler now, watching
    for signals in general and matching only ModemAdded/ModemRemoved. Inspired
    from urfkill code. (LP: #1492126)
  * debian/patches/git_fix_duplicate_unittest_names_7b70a840.patch: replace
    duplicate unit test names, which is a new restriction set by GLib.
