How does one override the "Build Host" string found in an RPM package
when using Koji to build the RPM? Currently, koji is storing the
hostname, not the FQDN, and I'd like to make it the FQDN.

Thanks,
Michael

Someone recently submitted a patch to mock for something like this:
https://fedorahosted.org/mock/ticket/14

Assuming this patch works (haven't tested it), you could apply it to
your mock. Koji doesn't place a hostname option in the mock configs it
writes, but you could add one in site-defaults.cfg on the builder.

OTOH, this might be overkill. I suspect you just need to fix your system
so that uname -n reports the fqdn. On most of my systems it does.

What rpm does (at least for a few different versions I have handy) is
call gethostname and then call gethostbyname on the result. If the
gethostbyname call succeeds, then the name is pulled from that result,
otherwise it sticks with the first result but logs a "Could not
canonicalize hostname" warning.

So it's /trying/ to get the fqdn. Are you seeing "Could not canonicalize
hostname" warnings?

Yes, I see the warning occur twice in my build.log. Once at the start,
and once at the end.

hostname -f does not return the fqdn. I am running bind locally on the
koji build server and it has the fqdn for the server in it. a "host
shortname" returns "shortname.fqdn.com" as a result. Do you have a
suggestion on how to correct hostname -f? (assuming that will correct
mock/koji)

set the hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network to be the fqdn

It seemed too obvious so I wanted to double-check. Thanks.

After the hostname change my Build Host field now displays the fqdn.
However, the build.log still displays "Could not canonicalize hostname:
shortname.fqdn.com". Is this harmless, or something is still not
configured, or something that needs to be reported?

all fedora builds have that. it is a harmless message.
