Re: nss_myhostname as default in Fedora

Hi,

yes, it's been a while with little progress. Initially I thought
it would be just a packaging issue, but various issues were raised
which require upstream fixes. I let it slip, but I still hope
to get this finished. Thank you for pushing for a resolution.

I think there is general agreement that it is desirable, but got
stalled on technical issue and tied up with nss_mymachines. The
technical issue was that nss_myhostname.so was overlinked. My pull
request was merged upstream yesterday, but unfortunately it doesn't
solve the issue completely.  I was told that Debian patches the build
process to fix the issue, but I haven't looked into it. Maybe glibc
maintainers would be OK with adding nss_myhostname now (after systemd
is rebuilt with the patch), without waiting for nss_mymachines.

Yeah, mymachines is much more specific and problematic. It shouldn't
hold up myhostname.
