udhcpc: always send DHCP hostname

[filippog]

this makes it easy for a local router/server to identify clients and update for example its internal DNS resolver (also matching dhclient behavior in jessie)

[filippog]

upon further testing passing :::: seems to change ipconfig behavior and it'll probe all interfaces, I'll need to dig into it more. anyways you get the general idea, I think it'd be good to send along the hostname

@filippog

yes, with ipconfig it is usage of parameters or the compiled setting in :::::: format. but net interface is one of the parameters also in the compiled list. I'm going to merge this and will try to correct that one line. can you retest then ?

I pushed the update ... with the change this was result, so probably ok but please test.

ok thanks! I should be able to test it in the next few days, what's the
easiest way I can do that? Is it already in a package I can install?

thanks

it is not. pull from git, run gen.package.sh from root repo dir (assuming you have fakeroot, binutils(armhf) and dev-scripts packages installed.

(binutils is not required (so ignore warnign/errros) - you get xbian-updateXXXX.deb. install with dpkg -i
