I can't argue with getting experience building it, but as the wiki page hints, there are still some distribution-specific things that the generic NUT build can't handle, like installing the correct systemd startup scripts. Usually that build procedure is a stop-gap for upgrading just one driver, by installing over a Debian package. > I do note that this ups has 3 rj45's on the end of it, but all my > ethernet in that box is committed.

Not sure where that message is coming from, but glad it worked with the newer aclocal. (Did you use the release tarball, or a Git checkout?) _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
