Description Jason Tibbitts 2007-09-22 00:00:47 UTC

I know this is almost hilariously minor, but when building things in mock
/bin/hostname is generally not present unless pulled in as a build dependency,
and lack of /bin/hostname causes some annoying spew in the resulting build logs:

/etc/profile: line 38: /bin/hostname: No such file or directory

I think it suffices to change
  HOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname`
to
  HOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname 2>/dev/null`
in /etc/profile to quiet the error but I'm far from an expert in sh; I guess it
might be cleaner to conditionalize things based on the presense of
/bin/hostname.  I did patch this into my local setup package and everything
seemed to work well.

Hi Jason.

If i remember correctly this has been fixed by now with better dependencies and
a proper basic set of packages for mock, right?

If not, let me know and i'll see what i can do. Completely suppressing the error
message here might not be desirable.

Read ya, Phil

Comment 2 Jason Tibbitts 2008-02-22 16:51:45 UTC

Currently in rawhide, nothing in the default buildroot has a dependency on
net-tools, and so every mock build will still start out with
  /etc/profile: line 38: /bin/hostname: No such file or directory

Like I said, hilariously minor, but it is indeed still around.

Comment 3 Florian La Roche 2008-02-24 22:08:59 UTC

Bash might already set this var automatically:
       HOSTNAME
              Automatically set to the name of the current host.
