Bug 249127 – net-im/ejabberd-2.0.2: typo at postinst detected

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sebastian Mair 2008-11-27 22:05:48 UTC]

postinst prints at the quick start guide:

 * 1) Add output of `hostname -s` to /etc/jabber/ejabberd.cfg line 89

but 'hostname -s' displays just the short hostname. According to the
ejabberd config the domain should be specified there:

%% hosts: Domains served by ejabberd.
%% You can define one or several, for example:
%% {hosts, ["example.net", "example.com", "example.org"]}.

Therefore, postinst should print 'dnsdomainname' instead of 'hostname -s'.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
 * Quick Start Guide:
 * 1) Add output of `hostname -s` to /etc/jabber/ejabberd.cfg line 89
 * {hosts, ["localhost", "thehost"]}.


Expected Results:  
 * Quick Start Guide:
 * 1) Add output of `dnsdomainname` to /etc/jabber/ejabberd.cfg line 89
 * {hosts, ["thedomain"]}.

same with net-im/ejabberd-2.0.1_p2-r1

or hostname -f might be a better choice

I've changed this to hostname -f in 2.0.4
