[Tony Espy <1361864@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Changed back to Incomplete, as this came up again during a meeting this
morning to discuss the current state of the APN editor.

I think what's needed is some way to indicate that an APN/context is the
preferred APN for a Internet and/or MMS.

I'm not quite sure why a generic tag was proposed, as I think a simple
boolean 'Preferred' property would suffice.  Doing this also means we
wouldn't need to add a new method either.

Note, NetworkManager currently reads the ofono gprs contexts directly
from ofono's settings file ( /var/lib/ofono/<IMSI/gprs ), which isn't
ideal.  I'll create a backlog task for NM, as this really should be done
via DBus.

Also, if we were to implement this, NM's ofono code would need to change
to honor the 'Preferred' APN, and ignore the other APNs.  Nuntium would
also have to change to honor this new property as well.

Title:
  add "Tag" property to ConnectionContext interface

Status in ofono package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  To implement system-settings APN editor reliably there has to be a Tag
  field with is an arbitrary non user-visible string that can be set for
  any Context.

  We also need org.ofono.ConnectionManager.AddContext which takes a
  variant map with prepopulated values for the context to be created, so
  we can have a function in QOfono
  QOfonoConnectionManager::addContextWithTag(QString tag).
