@arthurtiteica has pointed out that systemd has more suitable facilities for
creating a temporary directory for a PID file rather than calling ExecStartPre,
which requires an absolute path to coreutils executables we used for creating a
directory and changing its owner, paths of which are are not universal across
distributions. Systemd can take care of it for us without need to provide
absolute paths, which is what we use here.
Allow users to play with keys generated outside Tox core without
depending on features from any specific client. Just generate a
stub save file that every client will understand.
since the daemon is in the process of being packaged for easy deployment, it's probably best we have a working default config that extends existing nodes.
From what I see there is a difference between *BSD and Linux when
linking vs. toxcore which has been bulit vs. the NaCl library:
on Linux it only links if NaCl's object files (i.e. randombytes.o) is
present in the linker options, however on *BSD systems this will cause a
linking error, see:
https://github.com/Tox/toxic/issues/31#issuecomment-38224441
This commit makes sure that we do not add the NaCl object files to our
pkg-config settings on *BSD, but do add them on Linux.
Supports "unlimited" number of bootstrap nodes in the config file, instead of
just 32.
PID and keys file paths are not limited by 512 chars anymore.
Doesn't read the whole list of bootstrap servers into a global datastructure
that just sits there after being processed once -- reads bootstrap servers
one by one, processing them between reads.
Supports IPv6.
Has an option for IPv6.
Supports LAN discovery.
Has an option for LAN discovery.
Writes to syslog.
Uses new functions introduced in the core.
`status` in the bash script now works.
Has a simple README, with instructions for Debian-based distros.
DHT_bootstrap is not the same as DHT_bootstrap_serverdaemon, the latter
depends on libconfig and can be enabled/disable via a configure
parameter.
DHT_bootstrap has no dependencies and can always be built.
unix_time():
- returns local value for current epoch
- value is updated explicitly with unix_time_update() called at new_DHT()/doMessenger()/do_DHT()
is_timeout():
- uses the local value for current epoch
id_cpy()/id_eq() => id_copy()/id_equal():
- centralized duplicate definitions
- replaced (most) memcpy()/memcmp() of (*, *, CLIENT_ID_SIZE) with id_copy()/id_equal()
Additionally (besides cleanups):
network.h/tox.h:
- WIN32: fix a strange sa_family_t definition
- WIN32: define EWOULDBLOCK to WSAEWOULDBLOCK
- WIN32: kill macro for an existing function (IN6_ADDR_EQUAL)
network.c:
- use EWOULDBLOCK instead of EAGAIN (same value, but EWOULDBLOCK is more "popular")
- new_networking(): only try to enable IPv4-in-IPv6 if it's not already enabled per default
- inet_ntop()/inet_pton(): WIN32: remove partial initializers in favor of a simple memset()
- ip_equal(): WIN32: use an existing function
- logging: networking_wait_execute(): only dump result if not timeout
- logging: loglogdata(): kill an unused variable
LAN_discovery.c:
- send_broadcasts(): re-enabled, can only support IPv4 by principle, split into fetch_broadcast_info() (to fetch the addresses once) and send_broadcasts() (actual sending)
DHT.c:
- DHT_load_state_callback(): enclosed a fprintf(stderr, ...) into #ifdef DEBUG
Lossless_UDP.c:
- change_handshake(): harden against strange sa_family_t definitions
Messenger.c:
- logging: fix ID to string conversion
util.c:
- logging: eliminate a signed-warning
This patch inserts LAN discovery in DHT_bootstrap, allowing it to find clients even if it's run parameterless (and clients don't connect to it directly, e.g. because the port is already bound to a different client).
- moves the #define of LAN_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL from Messenger.c to LAN_discovery.h
- includes LAN_discovery.h into DHT_bootstrap.c
- DHT_bootstrap.c sends and accepts LAN_discovery packets
- tox_bootstrap_ex(), DHT_bootstrap_ex() renamed to tox_bootstrap_from_address(), DHT_bootstrap_from_address()
- (handle_)sendnodes_ex() renamed to (handle_)sendnodes_ipv6()
- only sending sendnodes_ipv6() if we're actually IPv6 enabled
- changed comments to conform better
nTox.c, Messenger_text.c, DHT_test.c, DHT_bootstrap.c:
- fallout from *_ex() to *_from_address()
DHT_bootstrap.c:
- corrected a potentially wrong info message
util.c:
- fixed logfile name: now (funcptr) => now() (number)
network.c:
- addead comment about the necessity of bind() to succeed
auto_test/messenger_test.c:
- defaulting ipv6enabled to TOX_ENABLE_IPV6_DEFAULT
LAN_discovery.c:
- slight cleanup and comments for clarity
- return to the caller if the string could be resolved into an IP
other/DHT_bootstrap.c, testing/*_test.c, testing/nTox.c:
- parse cmdline for --ipv4/--ipv6 switch to allow user a choice
util.h:
- proper old-style C-comment
By default libsodium is used. Only if --enable-nacl is specified, then
nacl will be used instead of libsodium.
Pass locations of nacl headers and libraries by using the following
options:
--with-nacl-headers=/home/me/somewhere/nacl-20110221/build/469/include/amd64/
--with-nacl-libs=/home/me/somewhere/nacl-20110221/build/469/lib/amd64/
This update makes sure that the build still works with automake prior to
1.12 and at the same time does not give any warnings or errors with
automake 1.14
supported options:
--with-dependency-search=DIR will tell configure to look for various
dependencies in DIR/include and DIR/lib
Alternatively you can also specify libsodium header and libs location
with --with-libsodium-headers and --with-libsodium-libs if it is
installed elsewhere.
Ncurses and libconfig are handled via the default pkg-config way, see
./configure --help=short for detailed information.
The tox library is compiled as libtoxcore in shared and static variants,
public headers are installed to ${prefix}/include/tox
A pkg-config libtoxcore.pc configuration file is provided.
Use ./configure --help for a full list of configure options or
./configure --help=short for the options that I added.
To generate the configure script after pulling from git use:
autoreconf -i
To generate a release tarball use:
make dist
Unit tests are handled by the libcheck library integration that is provided
by autotools, use:
make check
to compile and run the tests.
Unit tests are currently optional, i.e. - if the check library is not
found on the system, then tests will be disabled. Same goes for nTox and
DHT bootstrap daemon - they will be enabled or disabled depending on the
availability of ncurses (for nTox) or libconfig (for DHT bootstrap
daemon).
The above can be also tuned by:
--enable-tests / --disable-tests
--enable-ntox / --disable-ntox
--enable-dht-bootstrap-daemon / --disable-dht-bootstrap-daemon
While doing the checks configure might generate "core" files and will
then try to remove them. Having a "core" directory generates an error
while runing the configure script.
There's no workaround but to rename the core directory.
