This commit is in 2.6.4 and later: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/commit/207fed2282ce0bdf36a2fbb87aa8acb7180e2dd7 Since there have not been many fundamental changes to the driver/upsd interface in 2.6.x and 2.7.x, you could compile the usbhid-ups driver with the same settings as your distribution used for ./configure, and it should drop in. Also, sometimes you can get away with downloading the latest source package for your distribution (e.g. the .orig tarball and patches for Debian, or an SRPM for RPM-based systems), and just rebuilding it on the older OS release. -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
