* Refactor packager and controller using a command base classRobert Griebl7 days1-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | While at it, the new parsePassword function from the controller was moved into the base class as well and put to use in the packager as well. It also received a secure Windows and Unix implementation for readPasswordFromConsole(), that do not echo the password while you are typing.

* Better and more secure password options for appman-controllerRobert Griebl2025-11-191-0/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | Also added documentation for the new commands. The '--password stdin' option needs improvement, but this should be done in conjunction with switching the packager over to this style of password parsing.

* Revamp the instance-id and the dbus anchors for the controllerRobert Griebl2024-01-251-4/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is necessary for a nicer QtCreator integration, plus it fixes two bugs: 1) the DBus data was overwritten by an instance with the same id. 2) the controller could not address 2 instances with the same id individually Instead of 3 separate, unprotected files (one for each DBus interface) in /tmp, we are now creating 2 files in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR /qtapplicationmanager (or the temp dir on non-Linux platforms) - a .lock file (via QLockFile), which let's us track an instance's lifetime - a .json file which currently contains the DBus addresses for the singleton interfaces Pick-to: 6.7 Change-Id: Idd4fff96897ec9bb609cbf5521317b74df6d0fd4 Reviewed-by: Dominik Holland <dominik.holland@qt.io>

* Remove support for multiple installation locationsRobert Griebl2019-08-021-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | We had removed support for SD-Card (removable location) installations in a previous patch. Supporting multiple non-removable locations adds a lot of complexity to the AM's installer that isn't really needed, since modern Linux kernels can support these niche use-cases much more transparently through the device mapper/lvm infrastructure.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Acknowledging package installations by default could interfere with System-UI logic, so we shouldn't do it by default. There is now a new switch -a/--acknowledge however which will activate the old behavior and forces installation even on minimal System-UIs that do not implement the package acknowledge callback.
