The file has instructions how to "enable" it by symlinking into the
appropriate place. If we create a different mechanism to do enablement
later on, we can always adjust the instructions.
Closes#3998.
Same justification as the previous commit.
$ for i in network/*-*; do git blame $i;done | less
shows that those files were written by Tom Gundersen, Lennart Poettering, Yu
Watanabe, me, and Marc-André Lureau.
This matches what we have for example programs under man/, and is nice
because it allows people to copy the files as they wish without worrying
about copyright. The files are too trivial to copyright anyway.
RAs trigger neighbor discovery which allows users to query the
LL address of the container/VM via `ip neighbor get dev`. This is
useful as it gives users an easy way to connect to the container
without needing LLMNR or mDNS to resolve the hostname of the container
to an IP address. In practice, this allows connecting with only
networkd enabled and without resolved running in the host/container.
This is useful for development where overwriting files out side
the configured prefix will affect the host as well as stateless
systems such as NixOS that don't let packages install to /etc but handle
configuration on their own.

tested with:
$ mkdir inst build && cd build
$ meson \
-Dcreate-log-dirs=false \
-Dsysvrcnd-path=$(realpath ../inst)/etc/rc.d \
-Dsysvinit-path=$(realpath ../inst)/etc/init.d \
-Drootprefix=$(realpath ../inst) \
-Dinstall-sysconfdir=false \
--prefix=$(realpath ../inst) ..
$ ninja install
I think 80-wifi-adhoc.network is safe enough, since it just enables
the link-local addressing. But the other two enable DHCP in client
or server modes, and we should not do this by default.
If "keep" policy is specified, and the interface has a name that is
NET_NAME_USER or NET_NAME_RENAMED, we stop processing rules. "keep" should
probably be specified either first or last depending on the preference.
This partially reimplements 55b6530baa, in the
sense that if the "keep" policy is not specified, and if the interface has
a NamingPolicy, it will be renamed, even if it had a name previously.
So this breaks backwards compatibility in this case, but that's more in line
with what users expect.
Closes#9006.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
So far I avoided adding license headers to meson files, but they are pretty
big and important and should carry license headers like everything else.
I added my own copyright, even though other people modified those files too.
But this is mostly symbolic, so I hope that's OK.
