- most nixos user only require time synchronisation,
while ntpd implements a battery-included ntp server (1,215 LOCs of C-Code vs 64,302)
- timesyncd support ntp server per interface (if configured through dhcp for instance)
- timesyncd is already included in the systemd package, switching to it would
save a little disk space (1,5M)
Using "tmpfs" as a script part for system.activationScripts is a bit
misleading since 6efcfe03ae.
We no longer solely mount tmpfs within this script, so using "specialfs"
fits more nicely in terms of naming.
Tested against the "simple" NixOS installer test.

Systemd upstream provides targets for networking. This also includes a target network-online.target.
In this PR I remove / replace most occurrences since some of them were even wrong and could delay startup.
Set this option to 'true' (default: 'false') to enable extension mechanisms for
DNS (EDNS) in your local glibc resolver. This is required for supporting
DNSSEC, for example.
Implementation detail: the patch changes assignments to "resolv_conf_options"
to use "+=" instead of "=" to ensure that multiple users of that variable don't
overwrite each other. The generated config file is a shell script, after all,
so this should work fine.
Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/12470.
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.
* 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

Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
