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.
