I was just reading the buildroot defconfigs `configs/blackbird-bmc_defconfig` and `configs/talos-bmc_defconfig` and noticed that the option `BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_HOSTNAME` contains an underscore in both files:
- `BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_HOSTNAME="blackbird_bangbmc"`
- `BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_HOSTNAME="talos_bangbmc"`
As far as I'm aware, underscores are not allowed in hostnames, see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname#Restrictions_on_valid_hostnames or the man page `hostname(7)`.
I'm still learning buildroot and I don't know exactly what the option `BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_HOSTNAME` does, but its name suggests it's used to specify the hostname on the target platform :)
If that's the case, what do you think about replacing the underscore with a hyphen, so that the hostnames become:
- `blackbird-bangbmc`
- `talos-bangbmc`Hi,

I see the Buildroot version has been updated to 2020.05. Any specific reason an LTS release is not used?
