I found an old message (http://www.mail-archive.com/monotone-
deb...@nongnu.org/msg00100.html) mentioning an usher-server and an
usher for Debian. At that time there was talk about getting these into
debian experimental, or into unstable or testing after the code freeze.
Now these look like the recommended way to get usher to start at boot
and stay up.
But I find no such package now. Where is it, or its code, hiding out?
Nowhere :(
The package monotone-server automatically configures, and allows a
single monotone server instance to start from /etc/init.d/monotone but
TTBOMK nobody has packaged usher yet. Sorry about that.
If you would like to help, I can sponsor the package into Debian for
you.
So what I would have to do is this:
If I can postpone getting usher working automatically for a while:
(precondition: I already have usher running by other means, but without
autostart on boot)
Get the package source for monotone. Is that under revision-control
somewhere?
Find out how to compile packages and start messing with the source code
to monotone-server directly.
edit it to run usher instead of monotone. This will likely require
changes to the names of files as well as to their contents. I hope not
much more.
And debug it by repeatedly installing and uninstalling.
Then, if I have learned enough in the meantime, try to do the same for
usher. This time, I'll probably not be able just to copy the package
source for monotone, though.
