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:

I believe 4.2.0 + allinone patch is the current stable configuration.

The snapshot is literally a work-in-progress. As I understand it, Henrik's source tree is simply bundled up every night, in whatever state it happens to be in, working or not. Sometimes it will compile, sometimes it won't.

central config patch to apply against the debian source package.
I might be able to throw the patch into the 4.2 packages that will ship with Debian Lenny. We have a few windows clients that could probably benefit from the central config - I'll post here when I have something ready.

I am using the backports apt repository. A bunch of questions relating to this: Will the new hobbit packages be there? If not, what does it take to get something included in backports? Will the lenny source package compile cleanly on etch?
Thanks, Shawn

I did get the bbwin patch to apply against the current source package from lenny, and the packages built ok. I'll be testing it at home before I try and deploy it at work.

I'll keep the backport up to date with the testing (Lenny) versions. (4.2.0.dfsg-12 is still missing, will do that later today.)
Upcoming versions should compile fine on Etch as well. I don't intend to make life harder for myself as the backporter ;)
Oh, btw, a poll: So far I haven't been shipping the all-in-one patch, but the plain 4.2.0 version plus some patches. What would you rather like to see included in Lenny?
