[hobbit] alerting alternate pagesets

[Stuffle, David]

Thanks for the info.  Actually, I can see how defining alerts for pagesets
could cause page rules to conflict since you could have hosts in multiple
pagesets.  I don't know, may not even be worth it...

BTW, the March archives for this list aren't showing up at
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/.

Thanks
David stuffle

Yes, the PAGE setting in hobbit-alerts.cfg uses the default pagename from
bb-hosts - it doesn't know about the alternate pagesets.

So far, the alternate pagesets have been purely a "display" thing - they
only exist in the "mind" of bbgen when creating webpages. The hobbit daemon
doesn't know about them.

So it's not as easy as it seems to implement this. I'll try to come up with
a way of doing it, but it definitely will not be in the upcoming release.
