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.
Kind regards
Andreas.
