I don’t understand the logic in there, but a quick fix would be
to have
‘network-manager-service-type’ create /etc/hostname.
What do people think?
I agree. What is the best way to do that?
- make network-manager-service extend etc-service? I think in
this
case we'd need to pass the host-name to
network-manager-service-type somehow? It feels strange to make
the
system config's host-name a configuration parameter of
network-manager-service-type just for this reason.
- Create /etc/hosts in network-manager activation, using the
result
of ‘hostname’ at that point?
- ...?
Hmm, good points. Maybe just create /etc/hostname unconditionally
from
‘essential-services’? It can’t hurt, right?
I don't think so, only for people committed to extreme minimalism.
The attached patch fixes the issue on my system. Will it do?
