This is a developing project to monitor a large assortment of UPS hardware.
Network communications are used so that multiple systems can monitor a
single physical UPS and shut down together if necessary without any
special "sharing hardware" on the UPS itself. CGI scripts are provided
to monitor UPS status via a WEB browser.
===> The following configuration options are available for nut-2.8.5_1:
AVAHI=on: Zeroconf support via Avahi
BASH=on: Install programmable completions for Bash
CGI=on: Web CGI interface
DEV=off: Install developer tools
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
FREEIPMI=on: freeipmi support
IPMIPSU=off: Use nut-ipmipsu support (experimental)
MANPAGES=on: Build and/or install manual pages
MODBUS=on: Modbus support
NEON=on: NEON XML/HTTP support
PDU=on: Powerman PDU support
SERIAL=on: SERIAL support
SNMP=on: SNMP network protocol support
USB=on: USB support
====> SSL protocol support: you have to select exactly one of them
SSL_OFF=off: No SSL support
OPENSSL=on: SSL/TLS support via OpenSSL
NSS=off: SSL/TLS support via NSS
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Reason:
The nut file ownership fixups due to the UID/GID change from uucp/uucp
to nut/nut may not be desireable for all users. Some users with custom
file ownership may wish ownership to remain untouched. This revision
to the nut family of ports/packages allows users to optionally disable
automatic fixup of nut file ownership.
Affects: users of sysutils/nut and sysutils/nut-devel
Author: cy@freebsd.org
Reason:
As of PR/268960 Network UPS Tools will now run under its own UID and GID
instead of uucp. Users who wish to continue using the uucp user and
group may add NUT_USER=uucp and NUT_GROUP=uucp to their make.conf.
After upgrading sysutils/nut or sysutils/nut-devel with this patch,
restart devd. Then restart nut. This will fix up the permissions of
UPS USB devices and allow nut to start normally.
Eradicate USE_GNOME=pkgconfig
While here:
- Trim headers
- Convert USE_GMAKE to USES=gmake
- Convert USE_GNOME=gnomehack to USES=pathfix
- Convert USE_PERL5 to USES=perl5
In preparation of removing devel/libusb (expires 2013-04-30), remove it
from these ports.
Other changes:
- convert Makefile header
- convert to optionsNG
- remove indefinite article from comment
- drop support for FreeBSD < 8.0
- pet portlint (leave library ABI versions in LIB_DEPENDS)
- net-mgmt/spectools: change option name from GTK to GTK2 to use default
description from bsd.options.desc.mk

Update to 2.6.5.
XXX: for some of the OPTIONS, if the DEPENDS is installed, nut picks it up,
and the recorded dependencies and PLIST are wrong. Needs fixing.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
- Makes neon29 our default neon library. The neon 0.27.x to 0.29.x are API and
ABI backwards compatible. It is unnecessary to have more than one same
libraries (ie: neon28 and neon29) as it creates issue in our ports tree such
as CONFLICTS and made our Makefile complicate.
- Remove www/neonpp and www/neon28.
- Add USE_GNOME=ltverhack; it corrects the shared library version by change
from libneon.so.29 to libneon.so.27. It won't get bump again with no reason
unless ABI changes.
- Bump the PORTREVISION on all ports and chase the shared library change.
- Add info in the UPDATING for how to rebuild on all ports that depend on
neon.

- Set --mandir and --infodir in CONFIGURE_ARGS if the configure script
supports them. This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and

Declaim responsibility for this port. I no longer have time to maintain
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.
From the PR, with some small mods from me:
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

Update to 1.4.1, which incorporates the security fix that was previously
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.
Upgrade to version 1.4.0, the latest stable version.
Re-enable the CGI programs, now that they build.

Major overhaul to reflect the update to the latest version, 1.2.1.
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.
Since the distribution no longer comes with a sample FreeBSD script
(which I hope to remedy), the patch is now superfluous. So instead,
provide a sample script here.
The safest way to handle nut's state and pid files is to have them all 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.
* Update to 0.45.1, which as numerous new features, new UPS', and 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.
Update to 0.44.2. 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.
