Weird, looks like a Launchpad bug. I just changed Launchpad's "default branch" setting for that repo to be refs/heads/as-hostname although doing that didn't trigger any updates. It was set to refs/heads/master but that branch doesn't actually exist, which might be why LP got confused. I'm about to push a change expanding the Release Notes entry in the hopes that a commit to the repo's default branch might trigger Launchpad to wake up; we'll see whether it does shortly.
Question: I think we said that if a host-name cannot be found, this will cause the IOC to start up with all access disabled. Is this the behavior that we actually want? Wouldn't it be better to allow other hosts that can be resolved to still connect? I suspect our operational ASC files have any number of no-longer-valid host names in them, and here the act of removing a long-disused host name from our DNS is something that could our IT group might do at any time, so it shouldn't prevent our control system from starting up (frankly that would be an operational nightmare). If you change this behavior you should also adjust the Release Note to match (new consequence #2).
