This Snapshot adds NetworkManager-dns-dnsmasq to update the forwarders used by dnsmasq.
For some time I am setting "dns = dnsmasq" in NetworkManager.conf to achive the same effect.
So, is NetworkManager-dns-dnsmasq really necessary? Isn't it better to use the NetworkManager option?
Define "better". This package is for updating external dnsmasq instance outside of NetworkManager.
With "better" I mean using tools like are meant to be used... I have found the "dns" option searching for a solution for easily switching between multiple VPNs. The restriction to have only 3 servers in resolve.conf (I known that's lifted to 6 meanwhile) was a problem. I decided to use dnsmasq as a caching dns server and use it's forwarder list. Investigateing this I found that NetworkManager already supports such a configuration, but dnsmasq has to be started by NetworkManager instead by systemd. Maybe this NetworkManager feature has simply been overlooked and there is no need for the dns-dnsmasq.sh script.
