Hi Server WG,

This week I'd like to add an agenda item to discuss a potential change to the way we
handle the default hostname in Fedora.

I'll be at the meeting to discuss if we have time.

Thanks!

Hi Dusty,

you and the topic are in the ‚pole position‘ according to my proposal. Anyway, I was
referring to your initiative and I hope my wording is not too misleading. In the ‚pole
position' you don't have to waste your time and listen to all our little nicknacks
(but you can, of course  :-) ).

I did some exploring and I guess I now know why some of my initial hostname configurations
no longer work on our servers. Unfortunately, I had not noticed the change and just
wondered  (and cursed about the waste of my time).

Maybe, I got something wrong. But I would prefer ‚localhost' as fallback, that is a
clear and descriptive indication for a temporary solution. And I'd like to get back to
the hostname that DHCP provides - if I've already gone to the effort of configuring
DHCP appropriately. And, of course, if I explicitly config a hostname in Anaconda or later
using hostnamectl, that should overwrite the DHCP provided hostname.  

I’m looking forward to our discussion.

Peter

[Dusty Mabe]

I'm looking forward to the discussion as well. Sorry for not noticing the agenda
already had the hostname item in it.

Could you please file a ticket so that it would contain a context to
the proposal and the proposal itself?
