> The package doesn't follow Debian policy for library package names. It should be libnss-hostname2.
No, it's an NSS module not a shared library - the soname shouldn't be part of the package name. But as far as an FFe is concerned, I don't agree that libnss-myhostname is a technically sound approach, *period*; it works at cross-purposes to the existing Debian handling of the hostname being resolved to 127.0.1.1 via /etc/hosts. There should be a plan for aligning these, across *all* systems, not just desktop systems. For my money, I believe the right answer is to ensure tools which update the system hostname also update /etc/hosts (via some common tool), and *not* add to the NSS overhead with this module. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1162478 Title: [FFe] [MIR] libnss-myhostname To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnss-myhostname/+bug/1162478/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
