I would say that stress-testing the libusb-1.0 branch(es) on various UPSes would be a more effective way for someone who is unfamiliar with the codebase to help. At this point, a lot of the remaining warnings are either platform-specific, or the fixes require driver/protocol-specific knowledge in order to ensure that the warning fix is not worse than the current state. https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/300 I personally don't see libusb-1.0 or the warnings as being blockers for a new release (we have plenty more fixes in the master branch that seem more likely to benefit users), but also I don't have the time to do a proper release myself (and the procedure for creating, validating and testing a release for an autoconf-based project like NUT is far more complicated than "git tag"), so I am deferring to Jim on the release. The list of other open issues that we had targeted for a 2.7.5 release are here: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/milestone/7 > Nut-upsuser mailing list > Nut-upsuser@alioth-lists.debian.net > https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@alioth-lists.debian.net https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
