Thanks, Dinow,


I'm not a NUT admin but you posted this to a public mailing list so I'm 
going to just send a response to that list since it's a public posting.


The current documentation you sent is much sparser than the older docs.? 
So I think the older docs are going to still be valuable for just that 
reason alone, as an addition to the newer current documentation.? I do 
not know what the admins are going to do but I would hope they merely 
mark the old documents as "Old" and add this to them.


Unlike commercial software, open source software projects usually do not 
have the luxury of removing support for older hardware that is no longer 
in production from the manufacturer.


As a NUT user I cannot thank you enough for supporting open source 
software projects like NUT.


Ted

By way of introduction:

  I work on pkgsrc, used on NetBSD, illumos/smartos/etc., and also lots of
  others (mac, FreeBSD, AIX, Linux).

  I've been running nut for a long time, on 2 NetBSD systems with a Best
  Power Fortress 660.  (That was a great UPS to buy in 1995, and with
  new batteries still works fine today, with a real serial port for an
  interface.)

  I wrote a python program to report UPS status via MQTT to Home
  Assistant, where it sends once a minute if nothing interesting is
  happening, and right away (every 2s polling) if values change a lot or
  power fails.  I get prompt notifications of input voltage going to 0,
  or if the UPS transfers to battery and stays that way for 5s.  I am
  working on cleaning it up and detangling my config so I can publish
  it.



Sorry if I asked this before.  At:

  https://networkupstools.org/support.html

it says there is a nut packaging list, but the link says there isn't.

It seems fine to have that discussion here though, so I suggest just
dropping the description of the packaging list.


We just had a discussion on the mqtt list about the paho mqtt module
dropping python 2.7 support, and I noted that nut's module was 2.7 only
(in a release) but then I built it from git and found that PyNUT.py now
does python 3.  Thanks Jim, another heroic effort.


I was able to build nut from git on NetBSD 9 amd64.  I haven't tried to
run it or package it.


That leads me to wonder how close we are to an alpha of a new release.
