damn, it's part of the threads with Greg, that I completely missed, and that I still have to actually read... and since Greg is still not back, I've left these aside for the time being, to focus on 2.6.4. the NETVER mod is more a basic way to finally track the protocol changes. I was hesitating between an introspection system, that indeed allow to check the capabilities, and a simple "version" that implies these caps. so, looking again at the mail you pointed, I'm still unsure if I should revert NETVER, or leave it since it could still be an interesting basic check, WRT an introspection mechanism... cheers, Arnaud _______________________________________________ Nut-upsdev mailing list Nut-upsdev@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsdev
