I see hobbit 4.2.0 in ubuntu repo and it is keeping some of the cfg
files in /var/run/hobbit dir. The problem with that is when the ubuntu
server reboots it clears the contents of /var/run and then hobbit
complains and fails to restart.

I suggest all the cfg files get put in /etc/hobbit or some other
places as part of pkg installation.

I am also ccing the maintainer list

These are the files where the changes need to be made

root at improvise:~# dpkg -L hobbit | grep -v \.gz | xargs grep
'/var/run/hobbit' | awk -F: '{print $1}' | sort -u
/etc/hobbit/hobbitgraph.cfg
/etc/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.cfg
/etc/hobbit/hobbitserver.cfg
/etc/init.d/hobbit

Just wondering, but when comparing my old config to the new config, you
have changed the comments line to this:
#    PORT [LOCAL=addr] [EXLOCAL=addr] [REMOTE=addr] [EXREMOTE=addr]
[STATE=state] [EXSTATE=state] [MIN=mincount] [MAX=maxcount]
[COLOR=color] [TRACK=id] [TEX
T=displaytext]
Basically, changed min/max/col to MIN/MAX/COLOR, but further down in the
file, the examples still have the old lower case values. Do these need
to change to the uppercase between 4.2.0 and 4.2.2, along with
col=>COLOR ? or will either work in 4.2.2 but the next version will
force the new style / etc ??

It's case-insensitive, so both will work - now and in future versions.


Regards
Henrik
