[Solved] /bin/hostname?

Howdy,

New Arch Linux user here.  Can anyone tell me where I might be able to locate which package
via pacman to install to have the /bin/hostname file get installed?

I've installed fresh today and it's not there.  I re-installed via a repo that a colleague of mine
used last night where it is installed.  I used the same repo that he used last night and re-installed
a second time today and it's still not there.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Pete

We figured it out.  It's currently in "net-tools", which I thought that I tried to install prior before
posting here.  I know that it's in transition and will wind up in "coreutils" eventually.

Sorry to bother everyone, I'm going underground for the time being ...

Pete

Re: [Solved] /bin/hostname?

Install pkgtools

pkgfile foo

hostname, btw, is available in net-tools - which has been deprecated.
