[gentoo-dev] rfc: /etc/hostname on gentoo

[William Hubbs]

All,

it looks like app-emulation/docker expects /etc/hostname to exist.

On Gentoo, this file does not exist, so I'm wondering how we can make it
exist?

I know in OpenRC I can read it and use the value there as the hostname
instead of /etc/conf.d/hostname if it exists,but I'm not sure whether
OpenRC should populate /etc/hostname if it does not exist or whether
something else should do that.

Thoughts?
