Created attachment 450402 [details, diff] ebuild change to control MODBUS support in apcupsd MODBUS is the protocol used by newer APC UPSes and is needed to get usable output. apcupsd has supported MODBUS over RS232 since 3.14.13 and USB since 3.14.14. By default MODBUS is only enabled over RS232 and disabled over USB. --enable-modbus-usb is needed to enable MODBUS support over USB while --disable-modbus is needed to disable it over RS232 and USB. MODBUS over USB needs dev-libs/libusb-compat. Attached is a patch against the sys-power/apcupsd-3.14.14 ebuild to control MODBUS support.

I've added you to metadata.xml so you will be assigned new issues for this package with myself CCed so I can commit for you. Feel free to email me or contact me on IRC (FreeNode, nick K_F) you'll find me in #gentoo-dev , #gentoo-proxy-maint etc, the latter of which is a good place to ask generic ebuild questions. PS. Incidentally there will likely be a few presentations by Gentoo developers arranged via NUUG this year. In Oslo, but also streamed and recorded. So stay tuned :)
