This could be useful for other too so I'll post it on the list ..
I've patched the 4.2.0 with latest patches and I've applied some little change I was doing in the last couple of days. Those are small change that will not influence the way hobbit is working for a normal setup. They're just a bunch of line for each modification. This is a small description on what is changed on each single file:
- bbdisplay/bbgen.c : Don't disable rss and wml in pagesets. If the user don't want them for pagesets they can leave out the options to generate them while running bbgen
- hobbitd/rrd/do_disk.c (bugfix): While using /group option of the bb command if the status is green the first line will not be skipped at all and will generate one more rrd files.
- lib/htmllog.c : If the message has already a <!-- linecount=xx --> tag inside of the message don't count the line but get that value. This will also make the client that will use it work without having to modify the multigraphs settings
- web/hobbitgraph.c : Modify FNPATTERN to have a default "^" in front of the file spec. If it's needed to get some file with pattern in the middle of the file you can put a +* in front of the pattern but at least for all the default graph it will not create any problem and it will allow for using rrd filename containing for example the word "disk" in the middle without distrupting the disk graph.
The patch is against 4.2.0 with the allinone.patch of 3/10/2006.
For Henrik, I've sent you some mails (also this one) in the last few days but I think I get some problems to send email directly to you...

I think your mails are getting through, I just haven't had time to respond to them.

Hi all,
I'm getting an unusual situation, I have just applied the allinone patch and bbgen is reporting:
- Program crashed
Fatal signal caught!
But all webpages are still working, even the alternate pageset, the status of the alert is odd too it appears green but when you click on it the reports says it's been red for 35 minutes, do I need to be concerned about this?
Thanks, Jason.
Hi all,
The answer to my question seems to be yes, propagation no longer works on any of the tests...help?
Thanks, Jason.

Hi all,
Got it all working now by cheating :) I coped the bbgen file from our local hobbit server and put it on the main one on our other site.

I had the same problem.
I think it was because I didnt stop the hobbit client/server when doing the make install.
So I went back and killed all the hobbit processes then did a make install. Then restarted everything and it worked.
good luck, michael

I had to do the same - stop all Hobbit processes on the server while re-compiling and then re-start Hobbit afterward. That seemed to prevent the mysterious crashes Jason mentions.
Fortunately, in our setup we have two failover production servers and a test box - so I was able to compile on the test server and run the patches there for a few days; then compile on the standby prod server; then failover to the standby system (invisibly to users); compile on primary; then fail back to primary. (Sounds more complicated than it actually was.)
My guess would be that in a running server, some images or libraries in memory that won't match what's on disk if you do a recompile without first shutting down any running Hobbit processes.

It generally a good thing to shut down while running the "make install" that copies the executables into place - as you say, some systems are not quite fond of having the running executables disappear.
But I cannot really see why it would affect the "bbgen" program, which only runs for a few seconds (at the most) every minute.

Nor can I - unless maybe the system Jason is using (I forget which OS he said he was running) hasn't gotten around to flushing that image out of the particular pages in physical memory? Or, I could just be talking out of my hat & this specific point could be due to another issue entirely. =D

:P I didn't RH4 Enterprise for the record, and Henrik I'll E-mail you the tar.gz later today would you like the /usr/local/hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 hobbitdboard output too?

No, that was really just needed to make sure the problem was with bbgen and not with hobbitd. The executable and the core-file will do fine.
