Description David Zeuthen 2013-04-16 17:39:19 UTC

Avahi recently gained the feature to set the LAN name from the machine-id, see

 http://git.0pointer.de/?p=avahi.git;a=commitdiff;h=147cdce70b22ae7cee9fb4fe123db40952f31c9e

This patch has already been committed upstream and I would like to see it included in the Gentoo ebuild. As it's a new configuration file option, it will not change the behavior of the existing ebuild. Please include this patch - thanks!

Reproducible: Always

  +files/avahi-0.6.31-host-name-from-machine-id.patch:
  Add option host-name-from-machine-id, bug #466134

I also tested and it works.  I'm curious what this will be used for.
