Hi Michael and Cristian

As I already told you, hostname in Fedora is still part of net-tools (which I maintain).

Some time ago I decided to give it its separate package.
Instead of packaging the old net-tools' hostname code I decided to take your hostname source code.
For my reasons see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=534060

Your hostname code is now in development branch of Fedora (called Rawhide) and will be in next
Fedora (13) release.
 
Congratulation :-)
