[Duplicity-talk] Hostname changes....

[Scott Hannahs]

I am getting an error every so often that tells me that my hostname has 
changed.  There seems to be a capitalization issue.


Fatal Error: Backup source host has changed.
Current hostname: diospyros.local
Previous hostname: Diospyros.local

Now this seems to happen after I have connected and disconnected through VPN 
and the hostname has been reset?

How is the hostname determined?  There are about 4 ways to get a "computer 
name" or "host name" on Mac OS X.  They are all giving me the capitalized name. 
 But duplicity is reporting that the current hostname is not capitalized.  It 
seems to be using either the "hostname" or "uname" functions.

% hostname
Diospyros.local
% scutil --get ComputerName
Diospyros
% scutil --get LocalHostName
Diospyros
% uname -n
Diospyros.local

As a proposal should duplicity be using a case independent comparison to see if 
the backup source host has changed?

Mac OS X 10.6.5, duplicity version 0.6.11
