Nut upsdev - Nov 2014 - building NUT on Mac OS X Yosemite

Hello,
Here is a summary of discussions around NUT builds on Mac OS X 10.10.

Starting from https://github.com/networkupstools/nut-website/issues/7
<https://github.com/networkupstools/nut-website/issues/7>

@JeanPerriault
I've found msort on macports
(https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/textproc/msort/Portfile,
http://billposer.org/Software/Downloads/
msort.pdf), but I'm not sure where to implement it, should I replace all
sort ocurrences I find in code?

@clepple
I think checking for gsort in the configure script would be better (since that
is what is used when 'sort' is invoked on Linux), and then sort would
get replaced with @GSORT@ or whatever. However, when I mentioned via email that
the website doesn't build on OS X, I wasn't thinking that it needed to
be solved soon - we can build the website and documentation on Linux systems for
now.

@aquette
considering the context and limited impact, we could simply check for gsort
first, and then sort.

@JeanPerriault could you please test the above snippet? (apply using 'patch
-p0 < /path/to/patch', from within the 'nut' (not -website)
top-level source directory
@clepple btw, where / how do you exactly get this error?

@clepple
@aquette when building the nut-website repository on OS X. At the moment, it
does not show up in Buildbot because we are only building nut-website on Debian.
I would rather that we not apply that patch to the repository, since it just
masks the problem.

@JeanPerriault
ok make done; I think I will redo everything from scratch to see if libraries
updates or @aquette fix did fix

regards,
jean

Just to clarify, the sort error is only when building nut-website:

	sort: stray character in field spec: invalid field specification
`4.1,4.5rV'

Also, you had mentioned dependencies for building documentation. This affects
NUT non-website builds as well, but the list looks something like this:

	? asciidoc
	? asciidoc-a2x (if packaged separately)
	? docbook-xsl (symptom for Debian bug #635347; xsltproc will otherwise try to
download DocBook files from the net)
	? dblatex

We are trying to reduce the dependencies needed to build the .tar.gz snapshots,
so you might want to try one of them:

http://buildbot.networkupstools.org/snapshots

The snapshots include some HTML rendered versions of the documentation. (I think
we are missing the PDF files.) They are generated from Git commits to branches
in the main GitHub repository. If you have a branch you want to test, let us
know and we can push it over.
