Hi guys,
I just pushed a new filesystem package to testing with two minor changes:
We now rely on nss-myhostname being installed, so we no longer have to instruct people to put their local hostname in /etc/hosts. The archlinux(7) manpage was updated to reflect that, as well as to refer to some features of systemd in testing which should make the basic setup more straight-forward (timezone and hostname config in particular).
So, is it safe to remove /etc/hosts after updating the filesystem, or there are some applications which still expect it?.. Thanks.
Please let me know if you notice any issues. When all of this moves to core, I guess the wiki/beginners guide should be updated too... ;-)
Cheers,
Tom
