Are there any release schedule defined for the NUT?
Latest release (2.4.1) was done about a year ago (Feb 2009) and
accordingly to
the SVN log there were a lot of the useful changes (that are surely
demanded by
the NUT users worldwide) since then. It is widely common for the linux
developers to use half-a-year release cycle (RedHat, Canonical, KDE,
Gnome) and
I think that it might be good to try to stick in with the same
policy for the
NUT releases. It might give a better integration into the major
distributions
like Fedora or Ubuntu and will offer the end-users with a better
service
(unfortunately it is common for the linux end-user nowdays not to be
familiar
with the SVN and with the software installation from the source code).
Arnaud is in charge of releases, so I will defer to him on the
official answers.
We planned to include reformatted and reorganized documentation with
the next release, which was tentatively planned for the beginning of
this year. On the AsciiDoc branch, Arnaud has made a lot of progress
on the website, and I still have a few man pages to convert, but we
still need to do some editing to tie it all together. Having a second
set of eyes look over the documentation is always helpful (hint, hint).
As I mentioned earlier, I don't think we need to be exactly in sync
with the rest of the Linux world, and in many cases, asking someone to
reconfigure a tool tied in with power management every six months is a
little excessive.
