The existence of a /etc/hostname file causes any hostname provided on the kernel command line or via dhcp to be overwritten by the initscripts 'init.d/hostname.sh'. This change allows you to set a value of 'none' for 'hostname' which will skip the creation of the /etc/hostname file by the base-files package.
Signed-off-by: Mark Asselstine <[email protected]> --- V2: Koen Kooi didn't want to see the handling of the hostname variable changed so I removed those changes and just focused on the creation of the /etc/hostname file. Changes from V1: * patch renamed, was "base-files: allow for more flexibility related to hostname", * removed the rename of hostname to MACHINE_HOSTNAME * removed the addition made to meta/conf/local.conf.sample meta/recipes-core/base-files/base-files_3.0.14.bb | 10 ++++++---- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/meta/recipes-core/base-files/base-files_3.0.14.bb b/meta/recipes-core/base-files/base-files_3.0.14.bb index 6bab040..dfcca78 100644 --- a/meta/recipes-core/base-files/base-files_3.0.14.bb +++ b/meta/recipes-core/base-files/base-files_3.0.14.bb @@ -107,10 +107,12 @@ do_install () { } do_install_basefilesissue () { - if [ -n "${MACHINE}" -a "${hostname}" = "openembedded" ]; then - echo ${MACHINE} > ${D}${sysconfdir}/hostname - else - echo ${hostname} > ${D}${sysconfdir}/hostname + if [ "${hostname}" != "none" ]; then + if [ -n "${MACHINE}" -a "${hostname}" = "openembedded" ]; then + echo ${MACHINE} > ${D}${sysconfdir}/hostname + else + echo ${hostname} > ${D}${sysconfdir}/hostname + fi fi install -m 644 ${WORKDIR}/issue* ${D}${sysconfdir} -- 1.7.9.5 _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
