| slangasek | zyga: I don't agree at all that editing /etc/hosts is unreliable. On the contrary, I think throwing an extra DSO in the NSS stack is more of a reliability hit. Furthermore, libnss-myhostname has the behavior of mapping the hostname to the current interface addresses, which is a definite behavior change and one I don't think we want | 00:19 |

| maxb | Hi. Does anyone know where I could look for more information about the state of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/core-1311-dmraid2mdadm ? | 19:25 |
| zyga | slangase`: how would you reliably edit /etc/hosts if someone has made local changes that, say, don't parse? or how expensive and complex would a parser that retains all the current formatting be? I think this is a solution looking for a problem. Perhaps the current NSS-based approach is imperfect but I would argue that it is on the more-right track as it is immune to /etc/hosts being a free-form text fi | 21:28 |
| zyga | le that cannot be reliably patched in all cases. | 21:28 |
| * zyga wonders if irssi has a buffer it splits somehow? | 21:28 | |
| zyga | slangase`: I'm curious why debian needs the local hostname in /etc/hosts? fedora somehow doesn't do that, do you know the reason? | 21:29 |
| JanC | zyga: you must be able to resolve the local hostname | 21:32 |
| JanC | so it has to be defined somewhere | 21:32 |
| JanC | or maybe "some software expects to be able to resolve the local hostname" is more correct | 21:35 |
| JanC | or do you mean why it needs a local IP address? | 21:37 |
