Ever since the v3.14.5 release, powerflute is no longer compiled. I depend on this utility for monitoring the device remotely instead of running a web server for each of the computers that the UPS device is connected to. Could somebody please add the configure flags back in, or add a USE flag to let some of us decided? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge apcupsd 2. powerflute Actual Results: powerflute: command not found Expected Results: A text GUI of the apcupsd status and the information of the connected UPS.
Release notes for apcupsd 3.14.4 [1] show: * Powerflute has been disabled. It has been broken for the last several releases because it relied on an untrushworthy source of UPS status (rawupsstats) which was itself removed. Powerflute could be converted to use the standard NIS status mechanism and its source code remains in the tree in case someone has the desire to contribute this code.
