Hey Charles, adding Arjen to the list and upsdev for info...

Now, once again, these packaging files not only need to deal with the according NUT version, but also with the system's specifics (ie dependencies availability). And this tends to make the things quite hard for us as an upstream. In conclusion, I 2nd the removal of *all* the packaging from NUT sources, and the delegation of these packaging tasks to the various distro. The only point is to document, or point documentation, on how to install these packages. And there is still some work to be done here from our distro fellows! As a side note, I will have some work in putting Debian packaging files under SVN RCS control. Ubuntu will also soon push a project to consider its packaging complement as a branch of Debian's one. So this will make things easier to track packaging under these distro. As another note, most distro use RCS to track packaging evolution. cheers, Arnaud > Begin forwarded message: > >> From: Arjen de Korte <[email protected]> >> Date: December 16, 2008 3:49:12 PM EST >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: [nut-commits] svn commit r1632 - in trunk: . packaging >> Reply-To: [email protected] >> >> Author: adkorte-guest >> Date: Tue Dec 16 20:49:12 2008 >> New Revision: 1632 >> >> Log: >> Remove packaging directory.
