The debian files have changed in repository since the release of monotone 0.19. You may want to update your patch to reflect those changes.How can we get together on this debian package?Ah, yes. I'm sorry for lack of response, but I have been busy elsewere. I suggest we leave the current binary package alone and instead create a complementary second binary package, named "monotone-server" or similar, containing the scripts and configuration needed to run monotone as a network service in the background. I would like to use runit to supervise it, and the monotone-server package will therefore depend on the runit package. Does it sound sane? If it does, we can move forward right away.Hmmm... monotone-server package... Depends on the client, and install the stuff for the server. That sounds ok, although it could just as well go in the same package. But I guess that could work.In what state is your patch currently? How much of it do you think is compatible or useful in a runit scenario?I don't know anything about runit so I can't comment on that. As for the status of my patch, basically it is an init script, and an /etc/default/monotone file. We need to add default hooks.lua file, and some postinstall magic to create a database.
I just checked out runit and it looks very intresting, although I am not sure how well we could integrate it into a debian install, without a lot of hassel. Keep in mind that I breifly looked over it.
