These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
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.
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
Let's settle on a single type for all address family values, even if
UNIX is very inconsitent on the precise type otherwise. Given that
socket() is the primary entrypoint for the sockets API, and that uses
"int", and "int" is relatively simple and generic, we settle on "int"
for this.
When an address is configured to be all zeroes, networkd will now
automatically find a locally unused network of the right size from a
list of pre-configured pools. Currently those pools are 10.0.0.0/8,
172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16 and fc00::/7, i.e. the network ranges for
private networks. They are compiled in, but should be configurable
eventually.
This allows applying the same configuration to a large number of
interfaces with each time a different IP range block, and management of
these IP ranges is fully automatic.
When allocating an address range from the pool it is made sure the range
is not used otherwise.
