Nut upsuser - Oct 2015 - OSX El Capitan - Fink - NUT

Hi

I use NUT on a Mac to monitor a UPS which is connected to a NAS. When the NAS
reports a low battery on the UPS it broadcasts and the Mac shuts down. Or it
did.

I have just upgraded to OSX 10.11 El Capitan. I have successfully upgraded Fink
to 0.39.1. I now wish to update the NUT package, so that I can continue using
upsmon etc.

However, although NUT is apparently stable for Fink under 10.11 (here
<http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/nut>), an install fails, with
the error
"Can't resolve dependency "system-openssl-dev" for package
"nut-2.7.3-1" (no
matching packages/versions found)
Exiting with failure.?

It appears (here
<http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/system-openssl-dev>) that
system-openssl-dev is not available for 10.11.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Ian.

Ian,

I can't offer any direct help, I'm afraid, but there are lots of issues
for USB devices on El Capitan including apcupsd which probably has more users on
Apple devices that NUT. You probably need to have a look on the Mac forums for
confirmation.

Regards, Philip.

It should be possible to build NUT against the Fink OpenSSL instead of the OS X
one. Haven't tried it lately, but I might have time this week.

Since the UPS is connected to the NAS, this stands a pretty good chance of
working.

I should point out that "stable" is a bit misleading in this case.
Fink used to have "stable" and "unstable" trees, but due to
low participation in the user feedback program, packages were not often moved
from "unstable" to "stable". The default is "stable
until proven otherwise". (Note that I don't have any specific plans to
upgrade OS X while 10.10 is still being patched.)

There are some unpleasant bits related to the OpenSSL license and GPL software.
The attached patch to /sw/fink/dists/stable/finkinfo/net/nut.info should build
on 10.11, but I probably shouldn't merge it yet.
