Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-01-31 Severity: normal I just have to orphan this UPS monitoring package because I do not have enough time to care about it. I would like if anybody would step in.
Status of the package: - dead upstream (perhaps you might have problems to find upstream source) - no open bugs in BTS - lintian clean - needs work: * debconf support would be great (and even necessary in my opinion!) * more testing required * The source contains a java monitor which is not builded any more because this would move the package to contrib (at least) It was replaced by a CGI script, but another interface (Perl/Python/...) would be fun. - why yet another UPS monitoring package if nut is so fine: * I was looking for an APC UPS monitor which works with my setup (There are some issues with different cables - read the documentation about that!!!) This was the only UPS monitor which worked when I did the packaging. * I think nut would work to - at least upstream is very responsive - but I have not tested it. But smupsd can obtain more detailed information from the UPS than nut and so it would make sense to keep the package in Debian. I would love if someone would care about the code to be ported to nut so we could remove this software which seems to be dead upstream.
