It has been a request that multiple libnl versions should be installabe
in parallel.
In order to achieve this, the basename of the library was changed to
libnl-3 which reflects the 3rd generation of libnl APIs. It also means
that release based library versioning is left behind and libtool
versioning is used instead.
Projects using pkgconfig will automatically link against the new library
basename and will not notice a difference.
The SO versioning is based on the glib model:
current := 100 * minor + micro - revision
revision := revision
age := age (number of backwards compatible versions)
This commit adds some missing files (some header files, the files below
/etc and the bison/flex files) to the distribution tarball to ensure
that libnl can be built from the tarballs created using "make dist".
It also adds some incantations to properly generate the flex and bison
output since the generated output is no longer shipped in the tarball.
This patch fixes out-of-tree build, that is, when building with
$builddir != $srcdir. In such a case, some generated header files are
not found because they live in a different tree and can be fixed by
adding the directories to the compiler's include search path.
Finally got rid of all the qdisc/class/cls code duplication in
the tc module API. The API takes care of allocation/freeing the
tc object specific data.
I hope I got it right this time.
Note: The code for this is not upstream yet.
Extends the link api to allow address family modules to fill a link
message and implements a AF_INET address family link module which
uses the new interface.
- Fixes a bunch of bugs related to ematches
- Adds support for the nbyte ematch
- Adds a bison/flex parser for ematch expressions, expressions
may look like this:
ip.length > 256 && pattern(ip6.src = 3ffe::/16)
documenation on syntax follows
- adds ematch support to the basic classifier (--ematch EXPR)
A database to resolve qdisc/class names to classid values and vice versa.
The function rtnl_tc_handle2str() and rtnl_tc_str2handle() will resolve
names automatically.
A CLI based tool nl-classid-lookup is provided to integrate the database
into existing iproute2 scripts.
Adds a cli based tool to add/update/replace qdiscs. This tool requires
each qdisc to be supported via a dynamic loadable module in
pkglibdir/cli/qdisc/$name.so.
So far HTB and blackhole have been implemented.
Syntax:
nl-qdisc-add --dev eth2 --parent root --id 1: htb --r2q=5
nl-qdisc-add --update-only --dev eth2 --id 1: htb --r2q=10
This patch enables out-of-source builds like this
$ cd builddir && src_dir/configure && make
Before this patch there was an error about missing netlink/version.h which
is built by automake in top_builddir rather than top_srcdir which is already
in include search path.

When an alternate kernel header include directory is added in
CPPFLAGS, the libnl build fails. This is because the local copy of
kernel headers is added in AM_CFLAGS, which gets included after
CPPFLAGS in the automake-generated makefile. Switching to AM_CPPFLAGS
fixes the problems.
libnl-route must be handled before libnl-nf in lib_LTLIBRARIES since
the later depends on the former. Additionally nf-monitor, nl-list-caches,
nl-list-sockets and nl-util-addr have been dropped from the Makefile.

Issues solved:
* PACKAGE_VERSION was abused for SOVERSION
* unneeded DEP stage
* did not support out-of-tree builds
* no way to turn off silent mode
* overriding CFLAGS at make time was not supported
* no static libs were provided
