The "nut" metapackage just depends on "nut-client" and "nut-server". The drivers are in the server package - you'd need to find a way to install a newer nut-server package, and I don't know if I would want to try and mix .deb versions like that (if it is even possible). > 2) If not and I use the 2.7.4 tar found at > http://networkupstools.org/download.html, do i just run the classical > process? i.e. > > ./configure > make > sudo make install You could, but the paths would be slightly different from the .deb version, and it won't necessarily integrate with the system shutdown. However, the driver-to-upsd interface hasn't changed between 2.6.5 and 2.7.4, as long as you use the same paths for ./configure that the 2.6.5 Debian package used. > > ./configure has a no under "install USB drivers" and when I add that handle > (--with-usb) in, it prompts for libusb. > > Does that mean I actually have to do the process referenced in your link?

If you set things up to do "apt-get build-dep nut", it will pull in the libusb-dev package (which would cause the ./configure output to say yes for building USB drivers). _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
