Hobbit (hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz) or a platform specific version (Debian31-hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb).
If you use the hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz --> unzip it and untar it you get all the files under the hobbit-4.2.0 directory.
Having a look at the first few lines of the "allinone.patch" using an editor (see below) you will note the reference to the hobbit-4.2.0 directory:
diff -urN/home/henrik/hobbit/release/hobbit-4.2.0/bbdisplay/bbgen.h ./bbdisplay/bbgen.h --- /home/henrik/hobbit/release/hobbit-4.2.0/bbdisplay/bbgen.h 2006- 08-09 22:09:54.000000000 +0200 +++ ./bbdisplay/bbgen.h 2006-10-03 13:52:28.000000000 +0200
So when you run patch -p0 <allinone.patch it applies the patch to
files below the hobbit-4.2.0 directory.
Now... the platform specific version Debian31-hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb is installed by dpkg does not have this hobbit-4.2.0 directory. This can be seen by "dpkg -L Debian31-hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb" to list the contents of the package.
Also dpkg keeps the status of the install, the file list etc. Installing the patch via the source code with the usual configure, make etc will not update the dpkg data.
So the problem is how does one apply the "allinone.patch" to a Hobbit installation, installed with dpkg and Debian31-hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb??
Hope this makes the problem clearer...

The instructions for the allinone patch require the Hobbit 4.2.0 source. I have downloaded and tested the patch installs on the source but my Hobbit Server is a Debian distro and hobbit is installed using dpkg (and no source directory starting hobbit-4.2.0).
I'm not really sure I get your question, chances are you are looking for "apt-get source hobbit".
FYI, there is a package in Debian/experimental using the 4.3 tree (though somewhat outdated). I don't recommend using it in production, but it might be worth a look.
