See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1284323 as well For a while (from 197-1 until 228-5), systemd added "myhostname" to the end of the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf in %post via sed. This has been removed as it is error prone, and the above request filed to add it by default to /etc/nsswitch.conf in glibc. The glibc maintainer would like to see discussion of this on the devel list, hence this email. My interest in this stems from build issues with mpich using programs. This may have been triggered by a combination of the above change as well as changes in mpich, I'm not sure. In any case, mpich uses gethostbyname() on the hostname of the machine it is running on in order to configure itself properly, and fails if it cannot do this. So the mpich tests run by netcdf are currently failing on the builders, and has since Nov 27 when systemd dropped adding myhostname took place. So: - Is the change to nsswitch.conf in glibc (back to behavior that was the default for quite a while) desired? - If not, is there some other way we can get the koji builders' mock configuration to be setup so they can at least resolve their own hostname? Thanks. PS - There is some other discussion around "mymachines" which seems much more problematic. I'd like to just focus on myhostname for now. The glibc maintainer has indicated that he wants to wait for mymachines to be resolved, but it's almost two months now and I don't see that being resolved soon. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion@xxxxxxxx Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.nwra.com -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
