Hi Charles, Ok, I missed the absence from the backports as well. Again, some unfamiliarity here, so
1) I presume I cannot use a metapackage meant for jessie or stretch on wheezy? Or if I can, is there a way to deploy it from console? 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 ./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? Or is it fine to go ahead with that as USB drivers as a no? Thanks again for the assistance.
