Hey, I'm scheduling a 2.6.2 release for max. September 15.
The content will be lighter than first expected with 2.8.0 (see below). This includes the current trunk plus: - merge the nut-scanner branch, - some snmp-ups improvements (sysOID matching for init stage) and some more MIBs, - a first complete version of the nut-ipmipsu driver, - the new jNut Java binding, - preliminary support of systemd integration. So if you have any patch that should be in 2.6.2, raise your hand... The following are postponed to 2.8.0: - the configuration library and tools, - the PowerChain implementation (RFC #2 and #3 (not issued)), - the NSS branch merge (need verification), - the Windows branch merge (need consolidation and verification). cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://powerquality.eaton.com Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ 2011/6/4 Arnaud Quette <[email protected]> > Fellows, > > I've been caught by real life, and didn't find time to share / discuss this > with you. > > I've been attending UDS Oneiric, from May 9 to 13 in Budapest, and had a > chance to present and complete some ideas around NUT: > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerOneiricInfraPower > > The end target is to have NUT ready to address infrastructures, both static > like data-centers and flexible like Clouds. > > Part of the interesting NUT topics are: > - the nut-scanner, which is a WIP, > - the configuration library and tools, with some existing results (Augeas > lenses) > - the nut-ipmi driver, at first to monitor PSU (also WIP, first commit this > week), > - the PowerChain notion, which brings a global vision on both the > protection and the supervision of the electric network. > > Part of this blueprint, and of a long run reflexion, I'm also considering > opening NUT to application data related to power (like PowerWake / > PowerNap): > the considered approach would be a driver that publish power related > information from this app, and allow interaction (calling commands and doing > settings, as for actual devices).
