Nut upsdev - Sep 2013 - Apply a driver change

Hello,
i write because i have a doubt. I installed on an ubuntu server 12.04
64 bits the service nut with the command apt-get install nut. I
configured nut and all is running fine except the shutdown the ups. I
find a driver patch (source code) and it solves my problem. This i
probe in a virtual machine with the same ubuntu, i compile and do the
tests. My question is how i change in the production server the driver
with the patch?. Remember that in the production server i installed
nut with apt-get.

Thanks,
Reggards,
Gabriel.

Here is the general procedure to do this:

First, you must compile nut yourself on ubuntu, with the patch, then 
rename the existing NUT binaries to backup files and copy over your 
modified binaries to where the original binaries were.

However, since these patches are local, if the nut
package maintainer for Ubuntu releases a new package, your patches will
be overwritten.

To fix this, after you have applied these patches and verified they are
correct, you need to contact the nut package maintainer for Ubuntu,
which you can find here:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nut

The best way would be to submit a formal bug there.  Once they verify
the bug they can incorporate the patch.

Could you tell us where you found the patch that fixes it, please,
so that we could see it?

Thanks,

Ted

Hi Ted,
thanks for answer me. I will try this solution that you said.

The patch that fix my error is in this link
http://thr3ads.net/nut-upsdev/2013/02/2176045-Very-long-delay-for-shutdown.restart-on-usbhid-ups-powercom

I am from Argentina and here is a trade called TRV. It assembly ups
and is a national product with a micro Powercom. TRV dont know how to
answer my doubt so this is important. Its only offers drivers for win.

Thanks very much, if i had another doubt i will boder again.

Reggards,
Gabriel.
