Hi All, I like to introduce myself to the mailing list. I have been using Solaris since 2000 and using hobbit monitoring tool, now called xymon (xymon.com) since 2004.
I noticed opencsw.org has the hobbit pkg 4.2 which is from 2006. Since I heavily depend on csw (started with blastwave) I was looking for a new hobbit pkg. So I volunteered to try to make xymon pkg and maintain. I have built hobbit pkg for our company but that is not easy to maintain. I used the sun doc to build the pkg and it works fine. However I rather join a mature community like this one and maintain it in csw repo using the method designed to follow. It will definitely benefit us. Thanks for the opportunity. Lets hope I don't screw it up :-) Sorry about the top posting. I thought it is a new email and I like to keep the thread below to show how I entered into this community.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
