It's time again, I guess :>
Main motivation is to stop being pinged about software that I maintained
for work now that I'm about to switch jobs. There's no point in pinging
me to review/test updates or to debug issues in e.g. the Atlassian stack
or on mailman since I use neither personally.
But there's also a bunch of other stuff that I stopped using personally. While
at it I realized that I'm still maintainer of a few tests & modules related to
packages I stopped maintaining in the past already.
In my case I'd like to be able to add `-m last` to `cage` to make sure
that the login form from regreet isn't displayed half on my external
monitor and half on my laptop screen, but on the last connected monitor
only.
That's basically the issue described in #226586, though it's not a
proper fix since the login form is shown on one monitor only.
The networkd backend logic for setting DHCP= on an interface is bugged
and inconsistent with the scripted logic. Consider this simple NixOS
configuration:
{
networking.useNetworkd = true;
networking.interfaces.eth0.wakeOnLan.enable = true;
}
The default value of networking.useDHCP is true, so we expect our eth0
interface to have DHCP enabled. With the scripted backend, this works.
But the networkd backend generates the following 40-eth0.network file:
[Match]
Name=eth0
[Network]
DHCP=no
IPv6PrivacyExtensions=kernel
This is happening because the wakeOnLan configuration creates a key in
networking.interfaces, and the networkd backend erroneously checks that
instead of for explicitly configured IP addresses as in the scripted
backend. The documentation is also inconsistent across various options.
This change aligns the networkd backend and option documentation to the
actual behavior of the scripted backend, and updates a test to account
for this behavior for both backends.
I noticed that openvpn3 is been clobbering my `/etc/resolv.conf` file. I
dug around a bit, and it turns out that upstream actually does have
support for systemd-resolved. I think it makes sense for us to
automatically enable that feature if the system is configured to use
systemd-resolved.
I opted to not change the default behavior of `pkgs.openvpn3`, but can
easily be convinced to change that if folks think I should.
without this

with this
