Background information: We have an install of Big Brother BTF, an install I inherited when I took the job a few years ago. Recently I discovered the unfortunate fact that we're not covered by the BTF license, so we are exploring other options. Hobbit seems to be our best option.
I am using another server to build up a Hobbit configuration. I installed it from the source tarball because I couldn't get the bbwin central config patch to apply against the debian source package.
I started looking into the Hobbit 4.3 snapshots, but I haven't been able to get them to build using 'debian/rules binary'. Just a few minutes ago I got an idea. I unpacked the pristine 4.2.0 source, applied the allinone patch, applied the bbwin patch, and then ran 'debian/rules binary'. This successfully built packages.
First question - will these packages built from patched 4.2.0 work properly? Second question - anything I can do to get the Hobbit 4.3 snapshot (2008/06/05) to build? Error output from my attempt to build debian packages below:
