[Hostname-devel] Bug#713978: hostname: add upstart init support

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Package: hostname
Version: 3.13
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: upstart at packages.deban.org
Usertags: upstart-job

Dear Maintainer,

please consider applying the following patch that adds upstart
integration to set hostname at boot time.

I know that under sysv init, initscripts package ships
/etc/init.d/hostname.sh. But it seems out of place for upstart package
to ship hostname job file, when hostname package ships the binary. To me
hostname package is a better place to ship upstart job file to set
hostname, thus giving you control as to which args should be used by
default.

I have tested proposed changes on debian sid, with both sysvinit and
upstart.

There are two jobs provided: hostname & hostname.sh. The first one is
the one that sets the hostname, the second one is there for sysv
compatibility.

Regards,

Dmitrijs.
