This will not work since cli depends on settings-docs
Comment 3 Thomas Haller 2018-07-11 14:33:55 UTC 
nmcli does not depend on settings-docs.

The source-tree has "clients/common/settings-docs.h.in".

If introspection is not enabled (which is required to generate the file), then autotools build uses the .in file, see https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/Makefile.am?id=2abf4652d43651e014d99e5fac8de9df10df9bbb#n3489


But I think, the patch is not fully sufficient to achive that.
Comment 4 Jan Tojnar 2018-07-11 14:40:08 UTC 
We need introspection enabled for GNOME Shell and others, though. We just cannot use the file during build because we have patched g-ir-scanner to produce absolute paths:

    <namespace name="NetworkManager"
             version="1.0"
             shared-library="/nix/store/ymnmr44i3iipzvx5vsqvfghfrvmldjir-network-manager-1.10.6/lib/libnm-util.so.2"

and those do not exist at the build time yet.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. 
We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
