Motivation for this change

Note: this is a fairly opinionated change. I don't consider myself sufficiently experienced with dhcpcd(8) to be sure that this doesn't cause any regressions in some use-cases, so I'd be happy to have several reviews :)


This change ensures that dhcpcd.service is restarted as soon as the
exit hook changes. I use this hook to do additional configuration for my
network (like setting a route via the given gateway to my WireGuard) and
when changing parts of this exit hook I'd expect to get this activated
when switching to my new configuration.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Oh, I forgot to add a review. I can't think of any downsides coming from this and it seems useful.
