The hostname-3.13-1 package is now also available in the x86 distro.
It is based on the hostname sourcecode from Debian. This version of hostname allows to show the FQDN (-f), DNS domain name (-d, dnsdomainname), alias names (-a, -A) or network addresses (-i, -I).
The new coreutils-8.23-2 package no longer provides a hostname command.
