From recvfrom(2) (which UDPSocket#recv backs into):
The return value will be 0 when the peer has performed an orderly
shutdown.
(i.e. it will return an empty string)
Previously in this scenario, Vici::Transport#recv_all would spin
forever trying to pull more data off the socket. I'm not entirely
clear what happened that caused strongSwan to shutdown the socket, but
it probably should not cause vici Ruby apps to spin.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#13.
CDP and OCSP URIs for a one or multiple certification authorities
can be added via the VICI interface. swanctl allows to read
definitions from a new authorities section.
The vici logger uses the listener_t.log() callback to raise vici events.
When doing so, it holds the bus lock as reader while acquiring the vici socket
mutex (1). If at the same time the vici socket enables a writer, that thread
tries to lock the watcher mutex (2). The watcher thread uses debugging while
holding the lock, i.e. acquires the bus read lock (3).
(1) bus.rlock -> vici.lock!
(2) vici.lock -> watcher.lock!
(3) watcher.lock -> bus.rlock!
This all actually would resolve just fine, as we have a shared read lock on the
bus. However, under Windows we seem to have a strict writer preference when
acquiring the rwlock (4). This results in blocking read locks until any pending
write lock can be fulfilled, and makes the constellation deadlock. The relevant
threads are:

To avoid such a situation, we dissolve the (1) lock sequence. It's actually
never good practice to acquire shared locks during bus hooks, as it is
problematic if we raise bus events while holding the lock. We do so by
raising vici events for log message asynchronously, but of curse must keep
log order as is using a synchronized queue.
Only one of `--user-install` and `--install-dir` may be set and if
`--user-install` is the default on a system installation will fail
unless we disable it explicitly.
Fixes#914.
Installing them might not work well when building distro packages (e.g.
with DESTDIR installs). It might be easier to install them later with a
script in the distro package.
When building from source on the local system it could still be useful to
install the packages directly, which can be enabled with separate configure
options.
The main problem with DESTDIR installations of the Python Egg is that
easy_install creates or modifies a file called easy-install.pth in the
installation directory. So it's not actually possible to simply copy
the results in DESTDIR over to the actual system as that file would have
to be merged with any existing one.
Fixes#914.
We also don't require setup.py to exist during cleanup, as e.g. with
make distcheck the source directory is not writable when the build directory
is cleaned, so setup.py can't be created (to just get removed again anyway
if VICI and the Python Eggs haven't been enabled previously).
If id is not specified and certificate authentication is used, use the
certificate subject name as identity. Simplifies configuration as in most cases
this is the right thing to do.

libvici currently relies on libstrongswan, and therefore is bound to the GPLv2.
But to allow alternatively licensed reimplementations without copyleft based
on the same interface, we liberate the header.
If a vici client registered for (control-)log events, but a vici read/write
operation fails, this may result in a deadlock. The attempt to write to the
bus results in a vici log message, which in turn tries to acquire the lock
for the entry currently held.
While a recursive lock could help as well for a single thread, there is still
a risk of inter-thread races if there is more than one thread listening for
events and/or having read/write errors.
We instead log to a local buffer, and write to the bus not before the connection
entry has been released. Additionally, we mark the connection entry as unusable
to avoid writing to the failed socket again, potentially triggering an error
loop.
This is needed to handle DELETEs properly, which was previously done via
CHILD_REKEYING, which we don't use anymore since 5c6a62ceb6 as it prevents
reauthentication.
In addition that it may reduce memory usage and improve performance for large
responses, it returns immediate results. This is important for longer lasting
commands, such as initiate/terminate, where immediate log feedback is preferable
when interactively calling such commands.
To simplify handling of authentication rounds in dictionaries/hashtables on the
client side, we assign unique names to each authentication round when listing
connection.
An uninstall target is currently not supported, as there is no trivial way with
either plain setuptools or with easy_install. pip would probably be the best
choice, but we currently don't depend on it.
