Motivation for this change

Fixes #83865.

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 nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-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.

There's probably a better way to do this, but at least this gets the ball rolling / starts the conversation. Pinged all the people who participated in the original issue.

TODO: write docs?

Sorry, something went wrong.

Does it even need inetutils when not enabling mail support? I can't think of another reason why smartmontools should talk to the network.

The only inetutils binary it (maybe) uses is in update-smart-drivedb (ftp), which has a comment nearby of # OpenBSD. Say the word and I'll make them both optional; I don't know if that single use of ftp is worth "breaking" or not (considering it also supports curl, wget, svn, etc).

This is ready for review (basically just squashed everything). I'll write docs after the contents are approved to limit the amount of (potential) rewriting.

It is not clear for me which packages belong to enableMail.

Edit:

Maybe like this if we only need smartmontools.

It's enabled by default since that's how it was before this change.
