GNU package seems to be quite different to the standard debian package

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/hostname

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/hostname.1.html

Cygwin uses GNU Coreutils version with my old cygwin seems to not support -f

Could "hostname" be standardised, creating a single package, rather
than duplicating?


I am not on this list, so could you include my email address  in any replies
Thank you.
