Nut upsdev - Mar 2015 - New sub-driver submission process timeframe?

Is there a specific file with the version number in it that I would modify, or
do you just mean the file names?

Sincerely,
Rob Groner

I don't have any problem with pointing customers to a branch they can clone
via git and compile.

I know this sounds pedantic, but while the snapshots correspond to specific
branches and commits in git, they are simpler for end users to build than the
git branches, since they include the ./configure script and a few other
pre-built (text) files.

Case in point: with nothing extra installed (aside from user conveniences like
bash and sudo), I was able to build a basic version of NUT from a snapshot
.tar.gz on a newly-installed FreeBSD box, while building a new snapshot from the
git master branch required autoconf, automake, libtool, asciidoc, and its host
of dependencies.

If you do repackage 2.7.2, please add something to the version number (e.g.
2.7.2-RTD) to indicate that it is patched.

The canonical place is in configure.ac, and everything else gets regenerated if
you rerun autogren.sh

That script, by the way, calls "autoreconf -i" which includes the
--add-missing flag that I think you mentioned in another email.

This doesn't seem to be my day for getting things to work right....

The most obvious place I could find to change the version number was near the
top:

AC_INIT(nut, 2.7.2)

I changed to AC_INIT(nut, 2.7.2_RTD)

However, I cannot find "autogren.sh" anywhere, whether in the nut dir
or as a system executable.  I also tried "autogen.sh" in case that was
a typo...no luck.

Sincerely,
Rob Groner
