Seems like the source is here: http://packages.gentoo.org/package/sys-power/nut http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-power/nut/files/ > I am using nut-2.7.1.ebuild (latest available).

In particular, the lowspeed-buffer-size.patch seems redundant, since the link points to a commit in our old SVN archive. >> Gentoo would be a good addition to the NUT Buildbot, but the build >> farm hardware is somewhat memory-constrained at the moment. > > No worries, there is nothing to build for Gentoo... The goal of our Buildbot implementation wasn't so much to provide pre-built binaries (although it certainly could). It's more of an early-warning system in case we have old code that doesn't build properly on a particular distribution. > In any event, thank you very much for the assistance.
