[RESOLVED] Hostname binary disappeared

[devr]

After updating this morning, did anyone elses hostname binary (/bin/hostname) just disappear ?

[pepedog]

There is coreutils in Arch Linux ARM github, with this note
# - 8.10 is broken for us atm, using this until we get it working
but I just built regular abs version ok (on trimslice), now building for dockstar

[kmihelich]

I haven't tried beyond 8.10 since 8.9 was working fine. Tests in 8.10 and 8.11 were failing in some areas when I ran test builds a while ago. If 8.12 turns out to build fine for v5 that would be great.

And just when I wanted to change my hostname >.<

Is there another way around changing hostnames without it? I tried editing the rc.conf and /etc/hosts files but it left me with [root@(none ) ~]# with syslog freaking out bout it.

[kmihelich]

Nope, you could install the previous version of net-tools for the time being.. just remember to install the current release again when coreutils gets bumped in the repo.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kmihelich', 'I') haven't tried beyond 8.10 since 8.9 was working fine. Tests in 8.10 and 8.11 were failing in some areas when I ran test builds a while ago. If 8.12 turns out to build fine for v5 that would be great.

It was failing during 'make check' -- I haven't tried 8.12 since it's been released, this hostname switch-up caught me off guard.

[pepedog]

Well --asroot and it skipped some tests, but built ok

[kmihelich]

Well that's good news. I can't ssh into my home network from work, so when I get home I'll get a build started.

[kmihelich]

Coreutils is in the repo now, 8.12-2 built just fine.
