Ok - a couple of comments: I'm using unstable (Yes, I'm nuts :), and unstable uses GCC-3.2 - so the compile had some warnings that some people MIGHT complain about (I've had them generate bug reports on my packages because of them)...
Slightly more serious is a lintian warning (from the unstable lintian) that: W: upsd: wrong-name-for-upstream-changelog usr/share/doc/upsd/Changes.txt.gz information about this warning can be found: http://lintian.debian.org/reports/Twrong-name-for-upstream-changelog.html but the compiler warnings that I got were as follows: gcc -Wall -O2 -DPWRSTAT="\"/etc/powerstatus\""\ -DCFGFILE="\"/etc/upsd.conf\"" -DUPSSTAT="\"/etc/upstatus\"" -DVERSION="\"v2.6\"" -c net.c -o net.o net.c:98: warning: redefinition of `socklen_t' /usr/include/unistd.h:247: warning: `socklen_t' previously declared here net.c: In function `SigTerm': net.c:144: warning: implicit declaration of function `exit' gcc -Wall -O2 -DPWRSTAT="\"/etc/powerstatus\""\ -DCFGFILE="\"/etc/upsd.conf\"" -DUPSSTAT="\"/etc/upstatus\"" -DVERSION="\"v2.6\"" -c upsd.c -o upsd.o gcc -Wall -O2 -DPWRSTAT="\"/etc/powerstatus\""\ -DCFGFILE="\"/etc/upsd.conf\"" -DUPSSTAT="\"/etc/upstatus\"" -DVERSION="\"v2.6\"" -c ups.c -o ups.o ups.c: In function `UPS_Setup': ups.c:127: warning: implicit declaration of function `exit' gcc -Wall -O2 -DPWRSTAT="\"/etc/powerstatus\""\ -DCFGFILE="\"/etc/upsd.conf\"" -DUPSSTAT="\"/etc/upstatus\"" -DVERSION="\"v2.6\"" -c mapping.c -o mapping.o gcc common.o net.o upsd.o ups.o mapping.o -o upsd ups.o(.text+0x33): In function `UPS_Open': : `sys_errlist' is deprecated; use `strerror' or `strerror_r' instead the to fix the "exit" warning, just include stdlib.h (new "feature" in GCC-3.2), as for the rest, to fix them or not is up to you. Anyways, I usually say that I'm not uploading something for someone else until it's lintian clean, so if you could just make the necessary minor change, and let me know what you want to do about the compiler warnings. (if anything... as I said above, it's not really necessary, but some people will complain and file bugs against your package :). Once you get back to me, if everything is fine, then I don't think that I'll have too much trouble uploading this for you. BTW - a couple of other quick things - do you have a GPG key, is it signed by any Debian developer, and have you started the NM process? Pat.
