thank You very much! I had been hoping someone would volunteer to be
the Debian package maintainer, so this is very much appreciated.
Hi Henrik,
sorry for the late answer, I should move this mailbox to a more
prominent place in mutt.
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).
http://packages.qa.debian.org/h/hobbit-plugins.html
Good idea to put this in a separate package.
The main "feature" I introduced here is a /etc/hobbit/clientlaunch.d/
directory where hobbit-plugins puts *.cfg files. It would be nice if
"include" directories supported wildcards, at the moment the init
script does something like "ls -1 /etc/hobbit/clientlaunch.d/*.cfg >
/var/run/hobbit/clientlaunch-include.cfg" which is then included.
I (maintainer of Hobbit for Mandriva) originally requested a feature like
this, which Hendrik implemented using the "directory" directive, which will
include all files in the directory (although I would have preferred a glob,
to avoid /etc/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.d/somecheck.cfg.rpmnew,
or /etc/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.d/somecheck.cfg~ being read and leaving the admin
wondering why his new settings aren't applied).
In our packages, I ship both hobbitlaunch.cfg and clientlaunch.cfg with:
directory /etc/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.d
since then one can be sure that client-side extensions will run on the hobbit
server if installed and enabled by default.

Buchan
