Following the discussion NixOS#5021:
- obsolete the nix.proxy option
- add the networking.proxy option
- open a default no_proxy environment variable
- add a rsync option
- Manual tests ok.
- Automatic tests ok.
Amended by lethalman to simplify the option descriptions.
This is needed when /etc/resolv.conf is being overriden by networkd
and other configurations. If the file is destroyed by an environment
activation then it must be rebuilt so that applications which interface
with /etc/resolv.conf directly don't break.
Perl seems to write the file in latin1 independent of the actual input
encoding. This can corrupt the "description" field of /etc/passwd. By
setting "binmode" to ":utf8" Perl can be forced to write UTF-8. Ideally
the program would simply read/write the fields by value without any
changes in encoding. However, assuming/enforcing UTF-8 is a lot better
than using an obsolete coding like latin1.
In this case, they're equivalent to setting ‘password’ and
‘hashedPassword’ (since there is no distinction between an initial and
non-initial user account state).
I.e. don't call "passwd" to update /etc/shadow from the "password"
option. This has the side-effect of not updating the password if
mutableUsers = true (since the code path for "hashedPassword" has a
check for mutableUsers).
Fixes#4747.
Any reasonably new version of fontconfig does search that path by default,
and setting this globally causes problems, as 2.10 and 2.11 need
incompatible configs.
Tested: slim+xfce desktop, chrootenv-ed steam.
I have no idea why we were setting the global variable;
e.g., neither Fedora nor Ubuntu does that.
Option defaults should not refer to store paths, because they cause
the manual to be rebuilt gratuitously. It's especially bad to refer to
a highly variable path like a computed configuration file.
This hopefully fixes a regression introduced by 08b214a.
In bf129a2, it was already fixed for normal uid/gid values and it got
reintroduced by sub-uid/gid-handling again, so I've refactored it a bit
into a filterNull function which takes care of also the filtering
introduced by bf129a2.
I have not tested this extensively, but master is already broken for
systems with `mutableUsers = true` and no uid values set.

* The module now has systemd config
* Add resolveLocalQueries option which sets up it as a dns server for
local host (including reasonable setup of resolvconf)
* Add "dnsmasq" user for running daemon
* Enabled dbus and dnssec support for the package
Conflicts:
nixos/modules/misc/ids.nix
Should bring most of the examples into a better consistency regarding
syntactic representation in the manual.
Thanks to @devhell for reporting.
