Sorry, these are dusty neurons for me, too. A SRPM (*.src.rpm) contains the original source, the .spec file (a recipe for building the binary RPM). I muddled through this process last year, but didn't save the VM or a script of the commands. However, there is an updated spec file attached here (for CentOS 6.6; should be similar): http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.monitoring.nut.devel/6902 >> >>> Using driver "genericups" and upstypes 4-8, 10, 13-17, 19 and 21-22 >>> (achieved by following the "testing compatibility" steps at the end of >>> the genericups man page) I get OL.

Yes, for your case ("There's no serial control port" -- on the UPS, I assume), I think it's the wrong driver. (The "generic" name predates most USB UPSes.) If you were using a DB-9 connector on the back of the UPS with a custom cable, it could probably be made to work. -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
