Description Ross Burton 2012-08-08 07:51:04 UTC 
Currently the image's hostname (/etc/hostname) is either $MACHINE or something else if the distro patches base-files.

This should be more configurable - distros should be able to set revised defaults and individuals should be able to override it further in local.conf.
Comment 1 Ross Burton 2012-08-08 12:05:04 UTC 
pb pointed out that this works:

hostname_pn-base-files = "my-distro-rocks"

Closing.
