Public bug reported:
Really a WISHLIST item.
I have many virtual machines running ubuntu/apache2 all with apt-
listchanges installed, all named www.domain.com. When I get my emailed
reports the subject is "apt-listchanges: changelogs for www" for every
single VM. Not very useful.
It would be fair better for the subject to be "apt-listchanges:
changelings for www.domain.com" (the FQDN for the host).
apt-listchanges uses the following python code to set the hostname for
the report
hostname = commands.getoutput('hostname')
I'd like to propose that the command be changed to
hostname = commands.getoutput('hostname -f')
Or a parameter set in /etc/apt/listchanges.conf
Yes, I could change the hostname of the VM to the FQDN but the Debian
reference <http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-
reference/ch03.en.html#_the_hostname> says the hostname should not use
the FQDN:
3.5.5. The hostname
The kernel maintains the system hostname. The init script in runlevel S
which is symlinked to "/etc/init.d/hostname.sh" sets the system hostname
at boot time (using the hostname command) to the name stored in
"/etc/hostname". This file should contain only the system hostname, not
a fully qualified domain name.
I can do the coding/work, if I get guidance.
Thanks.
