This is a distro question, and better asked on the cygwin list. GNU coreutils has already marked hostname as one of the utilities that can easily be excluded from installation, for the sake of distros that plan to package a different package's hostname as their default. But it is then up to the distro which other hostname they plan to use, which is more relevant to the distro and not to upstream coreutils. > I am not on this list, so could you include my email address in any re= plies That's already list policy (thanks to the reply-to-all feature of modern mail clients). I don't see anything that needs to change in upstream coreutils, so I'm closing the bug report in this database. However, feel free to add further comments to this thread, and/or to take your question to the cygwin list on how you propose they change their distro. --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --ELGmI4UCUV4SkaSJibGhphP8OFswmbFxc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJWRMQIAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqcDkIAIpCL2H6KZMQP5/B7saEWA3+ cXIuS/Jl4zWQIMjXcyHeGKDZYd+WXOhrkcmUwyvLJqa2LFTcsOWlsgLliX4CO5g5 Q4VaSdG+q+9rslbx9JBzc9KlWSSDWj9XhCUoVEzdOFn6V9LyWZftkvNkDi6654Xd J9ygvOW7PnmTeIXByo5PVB873Zy6fbB7IZGvsrkEAMc57fzKNFDrl6v7sv4a8IJn /vPHd3gmrfNDhARk3O70vyaRcfZY0FmAy4ueDtz3Vu5n7/fFzRacVCKrS3P06b3M nKFy5bt1tp+GFrwbPdfQTEzNxooPlVyfOygpyJ4/azZQ7XHQthi57Z2syBGgCJM= =VcNw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ELGmI4UCUV4SkaSJibGhphP8OFswmbFxc-- From unknown Sat Jun 21 10:38:36 2025 Received: (at fakecontrol) by fakecontrolmessage; To: internal_control@debbugs.gnu.org From: Debbugs Internal Request Subject: Internal Control Message-Id: bug archived.
