Hi,
yes, it's been a while with little progress. Initially I thought
it would be just a packaging issue, but various issues were raised
which require upstream fixes. I let it slip, but I still hope
to get this finished. Thank you for pushing for a resolution.

I think there is general agreement that it is desirable, but got
stalled on technical issue and tied up with nss_mymachines. The
technical issue was that nss_myhostname.so was overlinked. My pull
request was merged upstream yesterday, but unfortunately it doesn't
solve the issue completely. I was told that Debian patches the build
process to fix the issue, but I haven't looked into it. Maybe glibc
maintainers would be OK with adding nss_myhostname now (after systemd
is rebuilt with the patch), without waiting for nss_mymachines.
- If not, is there some other way we can get the koji builders'
mock
configuration to be setup so they can at least resolve their own hostname?
Thanks.
PS - There is some other discussion around "mymachines" which seems much more
problematic. I'd like to just focus on myhostname for now. The glibc
maintainer has indicated that he wants to wait for mymachines to be resolved,
but it's almost two months now and I don't see that being resolved soon.
Yeah, mymachines is much more specific and problematic. It shouldn't
hold up myhostname.
