Latest stable snapshot? 🔗 link

Hi all,

We manage several systems and use hobbit for monitoring all of them. I was hoping someone might be able to tell me what is the current recommended version to be running? 4.2.0 is getting very old and does not include a large number of features we like. One of our systems was updated to a snapshot at some point, which is generally working okay but still has some problems (history viewer crashes occasionally, but can always be resolved by simply refreshing the page). I'd now like to find a stable 4.3 release that we can deploy instead of that.

From what I've gathered the snapshots are not generated anymore. The SVN seems to be generally very unstable from what I've seen (I've tested two checkouts in the last few days and both have kind-of worked but had more severe crashing issues with the viewers than the current snapshot).

I'm also a bit confused by the fact that the SVN does not seem to match the snapshots. One of our systems (which is working very well) has a snapshot which identifies itself as 4.3.0-0.20080327. The source for that snapshot is lost at our end. Looking through the SVN the versions which have that string in include/version.h are versions 5614 through 5626. None of these revisions compile as the file hobbitd/client/hmdc.c does not exist but is referenced in the build! Was there an out-of-tree patch made for the snapshot release?

Anyway, any pointers or advice from others running 4.3 snapshots would be greatly appreciated. :)

Kind regards,

Martin,

#define ZLIB_VER_MAJOR 1
#define ZLIB_VER_MINOR 2

Since I don't have those in my includes I simply removed the test from configure.

I have downloaded the latest source from zlib's homesite (www.zlib.net) and couldn't find them there either.

Is it some special linuxversion? I am running on HP-UX and have downloaded my running zlib from the Porting and archive centre for HP-UX.

Should we really change the includes to suite Hobbit?

That's your option.  The way I see it you have 4 choices:

1). don't change it and don't run the current svn code
2). change it to be able to run the current svn code
3). find a way to coax the configure script to work with the new zlib define
4). wait until Henrik returns so that he can fix it (which pretty much 
follows number 1)

The change is very minor and doesn't impact the way zlib works.
