[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1766575] Re: Drop libnss-myhostname recommends

Since this missed Ubuntu 18.04.1, I think we're going to just leave
things as they are for 18.04.

  Drop libnss-myhostname recommends

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-control-center source package in Bionic:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Impact
  ==
  gnome-control-center added a Recommends: libnss-myhostname years ago so that 
it was possible to easily change the hostname in the Details panel. That 
dependency no longer appears to be needed since we switched to systemd-resolved.

  Test Case
  =
  sudo apt uninstall libnss-myhostname
  Restart
  Open the GNOME Settings app (gnome-control-center)
  In the left sidebar, click Devices
  Enter a different Device name in the block (let's say new-hostname)
  Open a terminal and verify that the hostname has been changed.
  Then run ping new-hostname and verify that that command works in the terminal.

  Other Info
  ==
  There are concerns about having libnss-myhostname in the default install. See 
comment 5 at LP: #1741277.

  See also LP: #1162475
  Note that /etc/hosts isn't updated regardless of whether libnss-myhostname is 
installed (I guess my bug description there was wrong but there was some kind 
of bug there.)

  Regression Potential
  
  To quote from the manpage:

  https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/nss-resolve

  "Note that systemd-resolved will synthesize DNS resource records in a
  few cases, for example for "localhost" and the current hostname, see
  systemd-resolved(8) for the full list. This duplicates the
  functionality of nss-myhostname(8), but it is still recommended (see
  examples below) to keep nss-myhostname configured in
  /etc/nsswitch.conf, to keep those names resolveable if systemd-
  resolved is not running."

  Ubuntu uses systemd-resolved by default and it's expected that users
  who don't want to use that will need to configure some things
  manually.

gnome-control-center (1:3.28.1-0ubuntu2) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * Rename ubuntu-gnome-version.patch to distro-logo.patch for proposed
upstreaming to Debian. Drop the hardcoded use of the Ubuntu font.
(LP: #1770473)
  * debian/control.in:
- Drop now unnecessary fonts-ubuntu dependency
- Don't recommend libnss-myhostname since systemd-resolved handles this
  functionality (LP: #1766575)
- Demote network-manager-gnome dependency back to recommends
  (LP: #1770673)
- Depend on system-config-printer instead of system-config-printer-common
  for the Additional Printer Settings button (LP: #1770695)

gnome-control-center uses hostnamed via D-Bus to change the hostname.

The documentation says to use libnss-myhostname. Good luck convincing the 
systemd maintainers to change their mind on this issue.

Yes, I understand the reason for the Recommends.  By "integrating with
this", I meant that gnome-control-center's backend (which I believe is
hostnamectl) should be updating /etc/hosts in addition to /etc/hostname.

2018-04-24 Thread Jeremy Bicha 
The dependency wasn't added so that gnome-control-center could resolve
the hostname but so that everything else could resolve the hostname when
gnome-control-center is used to change the hostname.

Anyway, the dependency is already dropped in our bzr branch. This issue
just didn't seem critical enough to try to get through Final Freeze
since it was only identified today.

Every Ubuntu system is installed with an entry in /etc/hosts pointing to
127.0.1.1 for the hostname.  gnome-control-center should be integrating
with this, and not just relying on either libnss-myhostname or systemd-
resolved to resolve the hostname.  The local hostname should be
resolvable without further moving parts at runtime - the software which
manages the hostname should take care of updating the one additional
config file.

Bug description:
  gnome-control-center added a Recommends: libnss-myhostname years ago
  so that it was possible to easily change the hostname in the Details
  panel. That dependency no longer appears to be needed since we
  switched to systemd-resolved.

  Testing Done
  
  In both Debian Testing and Ubuntu 18.04 (Debian doesn't use systemd-resolved 
so seemed useful to try there too).
  sudo apt uninstall libnss-myhostname
  Restart
  Open the GNOME Settings app (gnome-control-center)
  In the left sidebar, click Devices
  Enter a different Device name in the block
  Open a terminal and verify that the hostname has been changed.

  In Debian, running `ping new-hostname` fails, but it works fine in
  Ubuntu.

  Other Info
  ==
  There are concerns about having libnss-myhostname in the default install. See 
comment 5 at LP: #1741277.

  See also LP: #1162475
  Note that /etc/hosts isn't updated regardless of whether libnss-myhostname is 
installed (I guess my bug description there was wrong but there was some kind 
of bug there.)

  Regression Potential
  
  To quote from the manpage:

  https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/nss-resolve

  "Note that systemd-resolved will synthesize DNS resource records in a
  few cases, for example for "localhost" and the current hostname, see
  systemd-resolved(8) for the full list. This duplicates the
  functionality of nss-myhostname(8), but it is still recommended (see
  examples below) to keep nss-myhostname configured in
  /etc/nsswitch.conf, to keep those names resolveable if systemd-
  resolved is not running."

  Ubuntu uses systemd-resolved by default and it's expected that users
  who don't want to use that will need to configure some things
  manually.
