This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release. * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we could ship this. * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before we could ship with this patch. * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should probably question if it makes sense at all.

<para><command>hostnamectl</command> may be used to query and
|
|
change the system hostname and related settings.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This tool distinguishes three different hostnames: the
|
|
high-level "pretty" hostname which might include all kinds of
|
|
special characters (e.g. "Lennart's Laptop"), the static hostname
|
|
which is used to initialize the kernel hostname at boot (e.g.
|
|
"lennarts-laptop"), and the transient hostname which is a default
|
|
received from network configuration. If a static hostname is set,
|
|
and is valid (something other than localhost), then the transient
|
|
hostname is not used.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that the pretty hostname has little restrictions on the
|
|
characters used, while the static and transient hostnames are
|
|
limited to the usually accepted characters of Internet domain
|
|
names.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The static hostname is stored in
|
|
<filename>/etc/hostname</filename>, see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more information. The pretty hostname, chassis type, and icon
|
|
name are stored in <filename>/etc/machine-info</filename>, see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-info</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

<para>Use

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>

system images.</para>

however, if one or more of <option>--static</option>,

hostname is being set, and static or transient are being set

as well, the specified hostname will be simplified in regards

|
to the character set used before the latter are updated. This
|

is done by replacing spaces with <literal>-</literal> and
|

removing special characters. This ensures that the pretty and
|
|
the static hostname are always closely related while still

|
following the validity rules of the specific name. This

simplification of the hostname string is not done if only the

host name is left untouched.</para>
