Sometimes all it takes is to make an idiot out of yourself by mailing
a message to a lot of people.

I found it in the interchange-demo rpm.  I'm putting it here so if
someone else needs to find it they can search in the archives:

You can change an RPM install hostname in interchange by doing something
like this:

perl -pi -e "s/$OLD_HOSTNAME/$NEW_HOSTNAME/g" \
	/var/lib/interchange/foundation/catalog.cfg \
	/var/lib/interchange/foundation/products/*.txt \
	/var/lib/interchange/foundation/products/*.asc \
	/var/lib/interchange/foundation/config/* \
	/var/www/html/foundation/index.html

Yup, ripped right from the rpm, youbetcha.

I haven't tested this yet, but it should work.  I think.  Don't blame
me if it doesn't.  :)

Somehow, I missed the *.asc files when I was trying to change them by
hand.
