Problems with recent snapshots 🔗 link

Hello,

 I'm running this test setup:

 1. A server running Solaris 9 and the latest hobbit snapshot (downloaded and installed today), and

 2. a client running Windows 2003 with BBWin 0.11

 This seems to work using central configuration of the BBWin client, with a few problems:

 1. In the msgs column, the output from the BBWin client and the local client on the server gets mixed up in the web pages. I can see /var/adm/messages as well as eventlog entries in the same web page. Also there is a large blank space at the top ot the page. The client data seems ok.

 2. The hobbitclient.sh script, which should run hobbitclinet-sunos.sh, tries to run hobbitclient-SunOS.sh which doesn'nt exist. The problem is in this line:
        BBOSSCRIPT="hobbitclient-`uname -s | tr '[A-Z/]' '[a-z_]'`.sh"
 In an older version this line reads
        BBOSSCRIPT="hobbitclient-`uname -s | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`.sh"
 which works, so it seems that tr doesn't like the added / to _ conversion.

 2. The hobbitclient.sh script, which should run hobbitclinet-sunos.sh, tries to run hobbitclient-SunOS.sh which doesn'nt exist. The problem is in this line:
        BBOSSCRIPT="hobbitclient-`uname -s | tr '[A-Z/]' '[a-z_]'`.sh"
 In an older version this line reads
        BBOSSCRIPT="hobbitclient-`uname -s | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`.sh"
 which works, so it seems that tr doesn't like the added / to _ conversion.

Could you try with hobbit 4.2 with bbwin patch ? I'm sure you won't
have this issue on the stable release. The snapshot seems to be
unstable these days because I think some important modifications are
being made on the core.

I think most of the core-dumping / non-compiling bugs I've introduced lately
 should be fixed now.

 But you're somewhat right - there are some changes happening. We are
 adding a bunch of servers where bandwidth might be limited, so today
 I've added compression of the messages going between clients and
 hobbitd. Seems client data can compress around a 4:1 ratio.

Could you tell us how you implemented this ? What type of compression
do you use ? (so I can see how to implement it for Windows clients :)
)
