allinone and other patch on Debian?
list Mike Calvey
I want to install the hobbit_perl_client.patch and have to install the allinone patch first. The instructions for the allinone patch require the Hobbit 4.2.0 source. I have downloaded and tested the patch installs on the source but my Hobbit Server is a Debian distro and hobbit is installed using dpkg (and no source directory starting hobbit-4.2.0). How do I apply the allinone patch (and hence the hobbit_perl_client.patch) to a Hobbit 4.2.0 Server installed with dpkg? Mike. Please refer to www.anite.com for individual Anite company details.

I'm not really sure I get your question, chances are you are looking for "apt-get source hobbit". FYI, there is a package in Debian/experimental using the 4.3 tree (though somewhat outdated). I don't recommend using it in production, but it might be worth a look. http://packages.debian.org/etch-backports/hobbit-client http://packages.debian.org/experimental/hobbit-client Christoph -- user-92157dbc91bf@xymon.invalid | http://www.df7cb.de/

This may clarify: From Sourceforge you can download the platform independent version of Hobbit (hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz) or a platform specific version (Debian31-hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb). If you use the hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz --> unzip it and untar it you get all the files under the hobbit-4.2.0 directory. Having a look at the first few lines of the "allinone.patch" using an editor (see below) you will note the reference to the hobbit-4.2.0 directory: diff -urN /home/henrik/hobbit/release/hobbit-4.2.0/bbdisplay/bbgen.h ./bbdisplay/bbgen.h --- /home/henrik/hobbit/release/hobbit-4.2.0/bbdisplay/bbgen.h 2006- 08-09 22:09:54.000000000 +0200 +++ ./bbdisplay/bbgen.h 2006-10-03 13:52:28.000000000 +0200 So when you run `patch -p0 <allinone.patch` it applies the patch to files below the hobbit-4.2.0 directory. Now... the platform specific version Debian31-hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb is installed by dpkg does not have this hobbit-4.2.0 directory. This can be seen by "dpkg -L Debian31-hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb" to list the contents of the package. Also dpkg keeps the status of the install, the file list etc. Installing the patch via the source code with the usual configure, make etc will not update the dpkg data. So the problem is how does one apply the "allinone.patch" to a Hobbit installation, installed with dpkg and Debian31-hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb?? Hope this makes the problem clearer... ? Mike.

Download the *source* package (.dsc), not the binary package (.deb).

I have searched and searched and cannot find the Debian Hobbit .dsc source package on Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128058) or any other site. Looking at the http://packages.debian.org/etch-backports/hobbit page there are the following source files * [hobbit_4.2.0.dfsg-7~bpo40+1.dsc] * [hobbit_4.2.0.dfsg.orig.tar.gz] * [hobbit_4.2.0.dfsg-7~bpo40+1.diff.gz] The [hobbit_4.2.0.dfsg-7~bpo40+1.dsc] file on this page looks like a dpkg control file but it is not the same as the control file in the Debian31-hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb package I have if I do a ar -x Debian31-hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb. What is the [hobbit_4.2.0.dfsg-7~bpo40+1.diff.gz] file for? If I download the [hobbit_4.2.0.dfsg.orig.tar.gz] file, unpack and untar, I can patch it with the allinone.patch and also apply the hobbit-perl-client.patch (for Oracle monitoring - which is what I am trying to do) but cannot build the package with dpkg -b hobbit-4.2.0 as it does not have the dpkg control files etc. Anyone know where I get a source I can patch without having to rebuild all the control files etc?

The only reason for this patch is to enable the graphs of the table space. Since I didn't feel like deploying this patch on my production Hobbit servers at the time ... I modified dbcheck.pl to print the tablespace in the same format as the Hobbit disk check ... which allows us to have the tablespace graphs (on the trends page only, not on the tablespace check unfortunately). There is more benefit to running dbcheck without the Hobbit patch than patching Hobbit ... so I would only waste time on this once you are actually monitoring your Oracle servers with dbcheck. However ... this does lead to some questions about patches to Hobbit. There is the hobbit-perl-client patch, the BBWin patch, and shortly one for Devmon. Hopefully this isn't going to result in the Qmail situation (where Qmail administrators spend more time massaging the patches they want than anything else ...). Can we expect integration any of these patches upstream (say, in a Hobbit 4.2.1 release)? Regards, Buchan

I am running dbcheck and have limited graphs. I wanted to apply this patch to increase the graphing. Looking into the hobbit-perl-client.patch I see a few more headings (see selected extracts below) and assume these will do more than tablespace? +[HitCache] +[TblSpace] +[TblSpace1] +[RollBack] +[InvObj] +int do_dbcheck_memreq_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg, time_t tstamp) +int do_dbcheck_hitcache_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg, time_t tstamp) +int do_dbcheck_session_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg, time_t tstamp) +int do_dbcheck_rb_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg, time_t tstamp) +int do_dbcheck_invobj_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg, time_t tstamp)
