hello - it looks like with the example simple fai-config space there is something of a no-op in how `scripts/FAIBASE/10-misc` interacts with `lib/subroutines` with respect to `/etc/hosts`. in `lib/subroutines` the installing system's `/etc/hosts` is copied into the target and its original is backed up to `/etc/hosts.orig`.[1] then later in `scripts/FAIBASE/10-misc` some modifications are made to the target's `/etc/hosts` based on the `IPADDR` variable and the `DHCPC` class. but immediately following these changes the `.orig` file (which afaict will always exist) is moved back into place.[2] i'm not 100% sure what the intent is. perhaps the solution is just to move the `IPADDR`/`DHCPC`-related modifications below the `mv` and/or `fcopy` lines? i can submit this change if so... tia! andy 1. https://github.com/faiproject/fai/blob/fd839d5e65382d09b0c92e56eb96177708e66be7/lib/subroutines#L1078 2. https://github.com/faiproject/fai-config/blob/7663f5eca298c3da26b0e59336c8be4174bdefb6/scripts/FAIBASE/10-misc#L20 -- andrew bezella <[email protected]> internet archive
