Here is the one my friend and I created. We are by no means developers, we were just trying to give something back to the community that has given us so much. My friend corresponded with Henrik regarding a few issues and Herink was a great help as always. This is the working ebuild we hacked together. It still needs a lot of work, but it may save you some time in your endeavors.

Thanks!

I rewrote it somewhat and made a new init-script for the client (I dont have the server on gentoo, so I did nothing there). I made it use /usr/lib/hobbit instead of /home/hobbit and made etc, tmp and logs symlinks to /etc/hobbit, /var/tmp/hobbit and /var/log/hobbit since that's what the debian package does.

Since the username "hobbit" is too likely to collide with already existing user name, I make a hobbit-c user for the client (hobbit-s for the server) and put in group adm (I have extension scripts that require the hobbit client user to be in adm group)

Anyways.. I have attached my current hobbit-client ebuild :)

For some reason I didnt get stop-start-daemon to work when stopping the prosesses, so I ended up using pkill instead.

Gentoo could really benefit from a good hobbit ebuild script.

Indeed
