it properly, and while I still use it, my ratty old UPS pales in comparison
to the fancy new stuff that is out today, and therefore I cannot effectively
test the program's functionality.
While I have not tested them, the updates in ports/83318 look reasonable,
and I suggest that the submitter would probably make a good maintainer.
1. Upgrade to the latest version, 2.0.1
2. Convert to rc.d style startup/shutdown script
3. Improve permissions on /var/db/nut

files will still be necessary however.

a patch, and adds support for some new UPS'.
For the port, update MASTER_SITES, add new stuff and retire one driver
that's been consolidated into one of the existing drivers.
Development stalled on this distribution for a while, then went into a
frantic period of many updates per month. Now it's stabilized to the
point that it's worth keeping current again.
There are many new models of UPS supported, and a lot of changes to
how the various tools work, so users of the old port should read UPGRADING.
Unfortunately, the CGI stuff depends on a version of gd that we don't have
yet, so that'll have to be sidelined for a while.
sent to a directory that's writeable by user uucp. I generally configure
this manually myself when I install nut, and since there are so many
other things that need manual configuration, I never thought it was
a big deal. However, a user pointed out that it'd be nice if the thing
(well, at least this part of the thing) worked more or less out of
the box, so here you go.
This change adds a /var/db/nut directory that is owned by user uucp.
many bugfixes. Check out http://www.exploits.org/nut/release/new-0.45.1.txt
for more details. Highlights include experimental USB support, and the
various programs dropping more privileges after startup.
* Clean up the Makefile a little by grouping more of the CGI-dependent
stuff together. Improve the pkg-plist in this regard as well. Make a
directory and install a conf file sample that the software Makefile's
are missing for some reason.
* Make the cgi directory depend on one of the previously
discussed plans to use PREFIX/www/cgi-bin if it exists already, and
PREFIX/share/apache if not.
File layout changed again: all ups drivers now located in the
${PREFIX}/libexec/nut. Some of the tools moved to ${PREFIX}/bin directory.
Startup script renamed to nut.sh.sample.
(including Smart and Back UPS for APPC), has ability to shutdown
multiple hosts without additional hardware and provides CGI
scripts to monitor UPS status via WEB interface.
