to set the required ownership for the bitmask-helper
unix socket we need to fetch the uid and gid of  the
user during installation, this information is  given
by the `id` command and it is needed only on macos

this fixes a bug on windows where installation fails
due to missing the `id` executable on windows

bitmask-vpn installs a daemon called bitmask-helper
which exposes a http api to handle firewall up/down
and openvpn connect/disconnect (only in macos)

this daemon was listening on localhost, since it is
meant to be only accessible to local processes we'v
changed it to listen on a unix domain socket

using unix socket allows to apply file  permissions
and restrict access to the api to only the intended
user

- add new fields STUNServers and countryCodeLookupURL in providers/vendor.conf (required for the geolocation lookup)
- load new fields STUNServers and countryCodeLookupURL from providers json
- update gen-providers-json script to support geolocation lookup (the STUN servers should be separated with , in providers/vendor.conf)

this allows us to have multiple branded desktop clients installed
along side each other

earlier installing one would uninstall the previous helper as both
used the same name and label for the launchd daemon

It gets generated with `make vendor`. After removing it from git repo,
the gui/providers/ directory does not exist anymore. The
gen-providers-json script fails. Therefore the script was fixed and now
creates gui/providers/ directory.

the post-install tool run by the installer needs to know the path
for the app bundle as the bitmask privilege helper is located  in
the app bundle, earlier it was using a glob pattern "*VPN.app" to
find it, but since in the previous commit the BitmaskVPN name was
dropped and now uses Bitmask instead, this glob pattern no longer
works, so the app name is passed as argument to the tool

the android app is called as Bitmask, this renames the desktop
app to use the same name and keep the naming consistent across
platforms

the $APPNAME is a template variable and replace by the gen-qt-installer
script at build time, which allows to have the correct name of the app
on the error message during uninstall

this adds a custom installer page with a checkbox to allow users to
choose to install the app for all users, when its enabled installer
will create a group called 'OpenVPN Administrator'

local users except the admin, guest and default account are added to
the group, and upon uninstall the group is removed

this allows non-admin users that are added to the group to use the app
and successfully start a vpn connection

It is not needed. It's also not available on Ubuntu 22.04.

osx was the old name, nowadays its called macos installation
was successful but the helper's launchd service was not setup
as post-install was not running due to the faulty check, this
was missed in 9666f8bd

after few of the qml components were modified in gui/components
the patch had to be updated or else it wasn't getting applied

update golang version for debian package

Pea Nut authored 1 year ago and jkito committed 11 months ago

- vendor.conf now has a default api version:
    - apiVersion = 3 is set for all current providers
- provider.py (called during `make vendor`) now supports api version
  and writes it to providers.json
- the desktop client logs the used api version. Currently v5 is not yet implement.
  This is just the preparation for it
- this is only a temporary solution. In the future, we want to get the
  api version during runtime by parsing $api/provider.json

fixes #786

the tasks are now handled by the post-install.go program the
plist template is in the program source code

the python script needed python to be installed on the user's machine
to be able to successfully install

this is changed to use a statically compiled go binary for performing
the post-install tasks

fixes #775

the debian source archive name contains the
version of only the upstream source the part
after the last '-' is ommitted if it contains

e.g: source-version: 0.24.03-rc.1-1-ga34h566
     archive-version: 0.24.03-rc.1-1
     archive-name: bitmask-vpn_0.24.03-rc.1-1.orig.tar.gz

python3 is now more likely to be found instead of python, although
macos doesn't ship python pre-installed, we should try to remove
python dependency from the installers

updates the Priority in control file and updates
the License in copyright file

- this updates the .desktop template file to support multiple
provider icons
- adds a .png instead of the .svg icon file and adds it to sources/include-binaries

this fixes #744
