[PATCH] Debian packaging fixes
Hi,
the attached patch fixes two problems in hobbit 4.2.0:
1.) The package build-depends on librrd0-dev. Alternatively, librrd2-dev can be used, which is present in Debian etch.
2.) In the postinst script of hobbit-client, the used single quotes prevent the variable from being replaced by sed. Instead, double quotes should be used.
Best regards, Andreas

Did you try the packages from ftp.debian.org (or backports.org)?

Thanks! I didn't know they existed.
I had to manually remove the directory /var/lib/hobbit/www/menu, which was left over from the previous hobbit installation, and create the symlink to /usr/share/hobbit/menu, to make the CSS menu work.
Are you going to integrate the bug fixes from http://www.hswn.dk/hobbitsw/patches/ into your package?
Best regards, Andreas

Well... sort of. It's just too many of them, so I'm inclined to better wait for a new release. I'm pondering though to upload a snapshot to the experimental archive.

Actually, they've been combined into an all-in-one patch for the 4.2.0 release (second line on page)...which is the recommended method.

Yeah I know - so far I've been reluctant to use it because I thought I couldn't really track what issues have been fixed and whatnot. We've already received a number of bug reports, but so far everything was in the debian/ part of the package. Still thinking about the whole issue...

I found two problems with the packages (I used the package source code from ftp.debian.org and built it on my own for sarge and etch using dpkg-buildpackage):
1.) On the host which runs the hobbit server, /etc/logrotate.d/hobbit-client gets installed, which conflicts with /etc/logrotate.d/hobbit.
2.) When I install a hobbit-client .deb for the first time, the installer asks for the server's address and the client hostname, but it forgets those values immediately. /etc/default/hobbit-client always contains HOBBITSERVERS="127.0.0.1" and a guessed CLIENTHOSTNAME. Running "dpkg-reconfigure hobbit-client" after the initial installation fixes this. (It asks again for both values.)
Regards, Andreas
