[patch] "config" download area is now a setting
Hi Henrik,
here is a small but convenient patch, that helps keep the etc/ directory of the hobbit server tidy.
Something handy would be to have a automatic suffix-with-hostname before opening the file, and fallback on the straight requested filename. That is, requesting bb-mysql.cfg from "foo.bar.com" would search for "bb-mysql.cfg-foo.bar.com" and then for "bb-mysql.cfg". I may add this early next week if you didn't already :).

415 subscribers to the mailing list currently, and another 100 that are only on the announce-list. Total of 513.
It is also interesting that there have been about 1200 downloads of Hobbit from Sourceforge every month since April: http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=128058&ugn=hobbitmo... There were over 2000 downloads in August, but that was probably due to the release of Hobbit 4.2.0.
I dont think that each and every one of the 500 subscribers to the mailing lists go and fetch a fresh copy of Hobbit every two weeks. So the community of Hobbit users is probably somewhere into a few thousand people.
(Which, by the way, is a lot more than I had ever anticipated :-))
Regards, Henrik
Maybe you shouldn't have made hobbit so well :P Jason.

Hi,

Looking again at the documentation, I see there's a "download" command in bb.
So, we have three ways of getting extension scripts configuration :
- with "bb config" (from the etc/ directory)
- with "bb download" (from the downloads/ directory)
- by adding data in etc/client-local.cfg
Since it is not desirable to get all hosts config from a security standpoint (that can be database password and the like), having one file per client looks nice.
The patch I submitted may break some setups that expect to have access to bb-hosts and the like.
Henrik, what do you recommend for storing and fetching extension script configuration ?
