I think I see where FreeNAS is getting their copy of NUT. They use a ports tree, so I tried building the latest NUT tarball in /usr/ports/sysutils/nut on a FreeBSD 9.1 box (in place of 2.6.5). http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/nut/ The port build system doesn't like our intermediate version number (2.7.1-pre1), so I hacked that to be 2.7.0. There are also some patches which don't apply, so I blindly removed them. I suspect they will need to be regenerated by the port maintainer. None of this should stop you from building a copy of just one driver, and copying it over the 2.6.5 driver. (The version number doesn't matter there.) I haven't tried this in my FreeNAS VM yet, but I think you can download the snapshot (see buildbot URL above), and configure it like so: ./configure --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/nut --program-transform-name= \ --localstatedir=/var/db/nut --datadir=/usr/local/etc/nut \ --with-drvpath=/usr/local/libexec/nut --with-statepath=/var/db/nut \ --with-altpidpath=/var/db/nut --with-pidpath=/var/db/nut \ --with-pkgconfig-dir=/usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig \ --with-user=uucp --with-group=uucp --with-dev --without-cgi \ --with-drivers=usbhid-ups \ --prefix=/usr/local --mandir=/usr/local/man --infodir=/usr/local/info/ \ --build=amd64-portbld-freebsd9.1 Then "cd drivers; make usbhid-ups", and copy usbhid-ups to /usr/local/libexec/nut -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
