Description Alessandro Giorgio Togna 2002-05-24 05:25:18 UTC
the NUT package wasn't up-to-date with the current release and it needed some
tweaks:
1) updated from version 0.44.x to 0.45.5 (latest stable).
2) added 3 init scripts: one for the UPS driver (upsdrv), one for the daemon
(upsd), one for the monitor (upsmon); dependecies are (i think) right, for we
first start upsdrv, then upsd, then upsmon; upsmon has a script by itself so we
can monitor an UPS on another computer.
3) UPS drivers are stored in /usr/bin/nut , so as not to mix them in /usr/bin.
4) i've asked NUT developers to add a 'make upsmon' so we can have a
'net-misc/nut-monitor' all by itself (so we don't have to compile
drivers/deamons if we just need the monitor)

Note: my init scripts would need to be added/copied afterwards, for my ebuild
doesn't deal with them... sorry...

Also, please don't make a directory in /usr/bin.  For data stuff, consider using
/usr/share/nut instead
