Thanks for the info. I use the first approach. So, if I understood well, the nut-hal support (ie, the --with-hal) is used only for the 2nd approach. Udev rules are dealt when using --with-usb. Is that correct? If so, I might be able to rebuild the nut-2.4.1 pachage for RHEL4. For packaging help (I think I might need some for the next stage ;-) ) do I continue this thread or use the nut-packaging list (or both).

I though that hal was mostly usefull with usb... In the nut-hal document, it is said that HAL "allows NUT drivers to feed the HAL system, which will itself feeds applications such as the Gnome Power Manager" Does that mean hal is not used for managing the battery itself but sees the nut driver as a "pseudo real battery"? In this case, indeed, I do not need it. I use upsmon for power management. not at all. there are 2 approaches: - the standard one, where you have a driver (usbhid-ups), upsd and upsmon. udev only applies the device privileges rules. - the Integrated Power Management approach, where NUT USB driver can feed data to HAL (instead of upsd), replacing the basic USB/HID support in HAL. Note that HAL is being superseded by DeviceKit and DeviceKit-power. This approach will probably be abandonned... -----Message d'origine----- De : Charles Lepple [mailto:[email protected]] Envoyé : vendredi 31 juillet 2009 15:08 À : Antoine Gatineau Cc : 'nut-upsuser' Objet : Re: [Nut-upsuser] Usbhip-ups going wild On Jul 31, 2009, at 9:03 AM, Antoine Gatineau wrote: > Indeed, nut depends on some packages not the distribution itself. > You are surely right. > > Anyway, here are the links : > RHEL 4 : ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/EPEL/4ES/SRPMS/ > nut-2.2.0-4.el4.src.rpm > RHEL 5 : nut-2.4.1 found only on this one > http://wolfy.fedorapeople.org/nut/SRPM/ use that one. install it and edit the spec. modifying --with-all by --with-usb should be sufficient. cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://www.eaton.com/mgeops Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/
