Regardless of the DHCP client, leases are not released by default.

This introduces a new configuration parameter: DHCPReleaseOnStop, which
can be used to change the default behavior.

This adds to 032df. Custom and automatically (in case of IPv6) added
routes are now deleted when the interface is brought down.

Redirect syntax and a modeline.

The declare builtin defaults to making variables local.

- Add static routes prior to setting the default IP4 gateway
  (github/pull/43)
- Set sysctl property net.ipv6.conf.<interface>.accept_ra earlier
  (FS#35788)

Profiles now have access to it.

Substituting "/dev/null/nonexistent" for an empty $Connection,
of course, does generally work, but is somewhat ugly (esp. in that
the string is appended to $CONN_DIR, so the resulting path may
theoretically exist).

Instead, substitute an empty string for the complete path if $Connection
is empty: an empty string can never be readable.

By default, dhcpcd requests leases for both versions of IPv6.
In the past, dhcpcd did not support IPv6, so this commits restores old
behavior.

When switching networks in auto.action, the addresses are not flushed. This
is especially problematic with stateless ipv6 autoconfigutation, as invalid
IPs may stay around until their (potentially very long) lifetime has expired.

bring_interface_down is always called after ip_unset everywhere else, so
this change does not affect anything else.

V2: Make sure not to flush the link local address.

The '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants' directory does not
necessarily exist before netctl is invoked.

When interpreted as an array, the empty string represents a 1-element
array consisting of the empty string. This is actually very reasonable.

This ensures the units are installed correctly if systemd is installed
in an alternate location like /lib/systemd. Idem for the location of
profile-based units.

Based on a proposal by: Mike Gilbert <floppym@gentoo.org>

The previous take did not contain the stuff that initially motivated
rewriting the quoting function.
The code of both PPP connection types is still sub-par, but at least
functionally, it is a little better now.

- add back to 'base' group
- add .gitignore that ignores build results

The most important change is that we now bring the interface down
correctly in pppoe_down.

Removed unnecessary options from example connection.

The tuntap connection type requires both a User and a Group to be
defined. However, when configuring a tuntap device in the kernel, the
device's uid and gid must both match for someone to be able to use the
device. The only way to create a tuntap device accessible to a group of
users is therefore to avoid specifying the user argument to
"ip tuntap add".

Only (forcefully) rebuild them when generating a source tarball.
This is an addendum to 9b500.

Use 'wpa' to refer to the 802.11i and 802.1x client side software
(wpa_supplicant) in general.

Router advertisements can tell clients to not generate a public address automatically (AdvAutonomous off).

ExecDownPre is executed before the connection is brought down, not after, as the man suggests. See netctl/src/lib/network line 75

Split them into different variables for different clients.
Also, IP6 gets its own, so that it can have options different from the
IP4 invocation.

Mobile broadband with ppp

Also:
- Replaced echos with invocations of cat, where possible.
- Fixed PIDFILE to point to the file ppp creates. This ensures the
  interface can be brought down.
- Fixed setting of InterfaceRoot.
- Removed vim syntax highlighting from ethernet connection.

This allows future connection types to use interfaces other than
networking interfaces, for instance to use USB interfaces.

Rebuild all the manpages because version information may have changed.

Add a few words on options that are ignored in some cases.

It had grown a little diffuse.
