Hm, actually I might try to replicate more options from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-23.05/nixos/modules/config/networking.nix , at least hosts and hostFiles seem useful.

ok, seems to work. I don't really know why nixpkgs defines 127.0.0.2 as localhost, so I didn't do that :)

127.0.0.2 as localhost

It's something from nss-myhostname, but we don't have systemd so we don't really need it.

Ping :)

Sorry for a slow response.

1. If you're borrowing from nixpkgs, you need to add attribution. grep for 'under MIT license as well' for examples.
2. Please bump the copyright year.
3. I'm not a fan of the overdone nixos interface, but, I guess, we shouldn't deviate.
4. But if we stick to it, I'd like a testcase exercising all these options + assertion path. You can write one or I can write one, but it might take some time for me to find time for that.

No problem. Just wanted to make sure it's not forgotten.

I personally use only networking.hosts, so I'm not really sure how other settings are useful. There are advantages of keeping it in sync with nixpkgs, but it's more complicated. I'm fine either way, I guess :)

I can try to do that. It's me who wants these settings after all :)

But if we stick to it

So should we? :)

ok, added a test. Wanted to use https://github.com/bats-core/bats-assert#assert_line but couldn't figure out how to add it in shebang - I guess some more complex changes are required for it.

btw, should I add myself to authors now? :)

good. hope grep is available in tests.

It is.

BTW, if you know where to express this idea so that all contributors get it, I'm all ears.

Well, readme with or Contributing.md with some basic steps should be enough :)

Also, consider adding a changelog entry.

Done.

It seems formatting is not correct. How do I format it properly?

Probably nixpkgs-fmt... There are a lot of different nix formatters :)
