Changes since nut-2.0.3:
- The newhidups critical bug (segmentation fault) has been fixed. It has
also received some more care, like buxfixes and new models support and
enhancement for Solaris.
- A bug has been fixed in NUT core to support resuming from suspend-to-disk.
This should also fix other similar issues, like time synchronisation
through the NTP - Network Time Protocol.
- The mge-shut driver now better detects the Low Battery status, support
new models and fixes some wrong status and data. It also fixes some
issue where the UPS wasn't restarting (refer to mge-shut manpage).
- The genericups custom configuration through ups.conf is working again.
- The genericups driver type 22 also support CyberPower 725SL
(and maybe others SL models).
- The new megatec driver, which will replace a bunch of drivers by nut 2.2
(refer to docs/megatec.txt and UPGRADING) has been backported from the
trunk (Development tree). The powermust driver has also received some
attention.
- The new rhino driver was added to support Microsol Rhino UPS hardware
The solis has also been improved for solaris compatibility, and
internal / external shutdown programming. solis can now save external
shutdown programming to ups, and support new cables for solis 3.
- Several fixes and improvements have been made to upsrw, upsset,
cpsups, tripplite_usb and the FAQ.
From UPGRADING:
- users of the following drivers (powermust, blazer, fentonups, mustek,
esupssmart, ippon, sms, masterguard) are encouraged to switch to megatec,
which should replace all these drivers by nut 2.2. For more information,
please refer to doc/megatec.txt
still, upsd should start before upsmon when they are running on the same
machine. The current setup (where upsmon.sh has REQUIRE: upsd) results in
errors like "rcorder: requirement `upsd' in file `upsmon' has no providers."
when you don't copy the upsd script to /etc/rc.d and set upsd=NO in
/etc/rc.conf.
Hence, remove REQUIRE: upsd from upsmon.sh and add BEFORE: upsmon to upsd.sh,
as suggested by jnemeth on tech-userlevel@. Bump PKGREVISION.
backslashes anymore. A single backslash is enough. Changed the
definition in all affected packages. For those that are not caught, an
additional check is placed into bsd.pkginstall.mk.
Numerous changes (see NEWS for full list), including:
* Updated support for various UPS models, including porting various
drivers to the 2.0 tree.
* Call varargs functions with "%s" instead of raw strings from config files.
under share/examples/rc.d. The variable name already was named
RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR.
This is from ideas from Greg Woods and others.
Also bumped PKGREVISION for all packages using RCD_SCRIPTS mechanism
(as requested by wiz).
Many changes, including
* various configuation file format changes
* most UPS drivers enhanced
* upsmon/upssched support a lockfile
* chroot jails supported
* various bugfixes

pkg update based on work sent in private email by Daniel Farrugia,
with various fixes by me.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
I *really* dislike how newapc changed from supporting INFO_RUNTIME
(runtime in minutes, which is what the UPS actually reports) to
INFO_BATT_RUNTIME (runtime in seconds, which is UPS result * 60),
because the latter is much less useful as a realistic guess (IMHO),
and because this broke my upslog format and ups monitoring stuff
that used '%VAR runtime'.
(Unfortunately, newapc is written in a way which precludes supporting
multiple results from the same 'UPS status code' (in this case
`j'), so we can't support both results at this time. I decided
that INFO_RUNTIME is more useful, because '81' (minutes) is easier
to "use" than '4860' (seconds))
- change from tcp/ip port 3305 to the IANA assigned 3493
- all old-style drivers have been deprecated:
aeg bestfort bestuferrups engetron ipt-anzen
mgeups multilink mustekups optiups sms
toshiba1500 ups-trust425+625 upseyeux
- newvictron renamed to victronups
- newpowercom renamed to powercom, replacing previous powercom
and ups-trust425+625 as well
- upsd.users(5) has changed formats.
NOTE: you need to update your file for upsd(8) to function
- upsmon can reload its configuration on the fly (with '-c reload')
- upsdrvctl can power off UPS's in an orderly fashion
- new drivers:
- tripplite - Tripp-Lite SmartUPS models
- newvictron - IMV/Victron hardware
- bestferrups801-807 - Best FerrUPS 8.01-8.07 firmware
- genericups type 14 - for Online P-series units
- upsdrvctl now waits up to "maxstartdelay" (default 45) seconds for a
driver to start before it gives up and goes to the next entry
(refer to CHANGES in the distribution, or
http://www.exploits.org/nut/release/new-0.45.4.txt
and
http://www.exploits.org/nut/release/new-0.45.5.txt
for a detailed list)
- upsd can reload its config files on the fly.
- 'upsdrvctl status' will check for presence of pid files
- upsd can be stopped with 'upsd -c stop'
- newpowercom driver added
- cyberpower driver added
- more man pages
- various bug fixes
This value may be customized in various ways:
PKG_SYSCONFBASE is the main config directory under which all package
configuration files are to be found.
PKG_SYSCONFSUBDIR is the subdirectory of PKG_SYSCONFBASE under which the
configuration files for a particular package may be found.
PKG_SYSCONFDIR.${PKGBASE} overrides the value of ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR} for a
particular package.
Users will typically want to set PKG_SYSCONFBASE to /etc, or accept the
default location of ${PREFIX}/etc.
This obsoletes the use of CONFDIR, which was active for only 6 days, so no
need to have a workaround to still accept old CONFDIR settings.
Also replace rc.d scripts with much better ones by Luke Mewburn
<lukem@wasabisystems.com> that were slightly editted by me to have some
minimal functionality on pre-rc.d systems.
notable new features:
- upsdrvctl has more options. You can now say "stop" to stop all drivers, or
"stop <ups>" to stop just one. Also, "start <ups>" to just start one is
now supported.
- lots of man pages
- newapc driver converted to new framework
- new masterguard ups driver
- fentonups driver now recognizes the PowerCom SMK-800A
- bestups driver now does proper locking on the serial port
- sms driver table has been updated, and sms.txt provided to explain this
changes include:
- ups info moved to ups.conf instead of upsd.conf
- unified driver control between ups drivers
- upsmon doesn't run as root by default any more; most of the work is
done by an unprivileged child, with a parent only accepting shutdown
messages
- more model support:
- AEG Proect S. - aeg
- SMS Ltda (Brazillian) - sms
- SOLA 620 - bestups
- Ever UPS - everups
- various other improvements and bugfixes

first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).
