Protobuffers compiled with protobuf < 3.20.0 are incompatible with
protobuf >= 4.0.0:
https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/wiki/GUI-known-problems#gui-does-not-show-up
This has been a source of problems for some users (#1214, #647), and
in some distributions, previous protobuffer does no longer work due to
incompatibility with the protobuf package version installed
(OpenSuse Tumbleweed).
So in order to solve this issue, we provide several protobuffers,
for old and new protobuf versions:
proto/ui_pb2* for protobuf >= 4.0.0
proto/pre3200/ui_pb2* for protobuf >= 3.6.0 and < 3.20.0
To avoid import errors, each protobuffer must be placed in its own
directory, and the name of the protobuffer files must be named with
the syntax <prefix>_pb2.py/<prefix>_pb2_grpc.py:
ui_pb2.py and ui_pb2_grpc.py
The default compiled protobuffer will be opensnitch/proto/ui_*.py
instead of opensnitch/ui_*.py
When building the project with protoc-gen-go version 1.5.1,
it fails with the following:
```
protoc -I. ui.proto --go_out=plugins=grpc:../daemon/ui/protocol/
protoc-gen-go: unable to determine Go import path for "ui.proto"
Please specify either:
• a "go_package" option in the .proto source file, or
• a "M" argument on the command line.
See https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/reference/go-generated#package for more information.
--go_out: protoc-gen-go: Plugin failed with status code 1.
```
This can be fixed by adding the full go package as an option in the
proto file. To make sure the code is generated to the correct path,
we also have to add add the `paths=source_relative` option to the
protoc plugin.
After this, the code is generated correctly, but the generated code
references classes like grpc.ClientConnInterface which were introduced
in 1.27.0.
Use the timestamp instead of the event object when iterating over the last events. ~15x speed increase.
Increase event buffer to 100. On my machine I routinely hit the ceiling of 50 events under some multitasking workloads. Small buffer results in connection attempts not being logged.
Fix Makefile to rebuild when ui.proto changes
