Hi Christoph,

so weeks ago I started looking into hobbit since one of my company's
customers is using it. Of course the fact that it wasn't included in
Debian so far was nagging me, so I took the packages from sf.net, used
Henrik's debian/ dir as base for mine, and uploaded the packages.

thank You very much! I had been hoping someone would volunteer to be
the Debian package maintainer, so this is very much appreciated.
There's also a hobbit-plugins package, but so far it only contains 2
plugins (an "apt" check, and a related check for upgraded libs still
linked to running processes).

Good idea to put this in a separate package.
From a Debian viewpoint, the javascript to render the menu for the
webpages wasn't free enough, so I wrote a replacement using CSS only.
If that sounds interesting for inclusion into the next hobbit version,
I can post the files here. (Or you can get them from ftp.debian.org.)
Excellent! I haven't looked at it yet, but it is certainly nice to have
a truly open implementation for this.


Regards,
Henrik
