[gentoo-user] sys-power/nut-2.4.3-r2 fails to compile driver

[gentoo-user] sys-power/nut-2.4.3-r2 fails to compile driver

[Dale]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to upgrade nut to the latest stable version.  I have the 
driver set in make.conf and according to the website, it is the correct 
driver.  I also while searching around noticed I need to make sure I 
have the driver in /lib/nut and sure enough, it is there.  In make.conf 
I have this:

NUT_DRIVERS="cyberpower"

This is the error I am getting:

make[1]: Entering directory 
`/var/tmp/portage/sys-power/nut-2.4.3-r2/work/nut-2.4.3/drivers'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `cyberpower', needed by `all-am'.  Stop.

Any idea why it can't make my driver when it is the right one and is set 
in make.conf?  What am I missing?  Oh, this is connected to my serial 
port, NOT the USB port.

Thanks.

Wrong driver combined with outdated website info or other docs?

I have no idea of their driver model but a hunch from the basis of
cups and a quick grep would lead me to suggest that cyberpower driver
possibly no longer exists. It might have been replaced by powerpanel:

drivers/powerpanel.c: * powerpanel.c - Model specific routines for
CyberPower text/binary

That's what I was thinking but when I saw it still listed on the website 
I thought it would still be the right one.  Maybe you are right tho, the 
website is out of date or something.  It does list power panel too tho.  
I'll give it a try.

Thanks.

Well this doesn't make much sense to me.  I did get nut to compile by 
changing to the *experimental* driver powerpanel.  It then wanted to 
overwrite everything in my config file back to the defaults.  Not that 
it appears the style or settings change but just back to where nothing 
is set at all.  I got past that, mostly anyway.  I got all the services 
restarted, twice I might add.  Now it tells me stuff that I know is not 
even possible.  Check out this mess:

OK.  According to this mess, my 24 volt battery is charged to about 50 
volts or so.  I think I would see smoke by now.  ;-)   Then again, it 
says the battery is low, 45% charge.  Hmmmmm. < Dale scratches his head 
on this one >  The frequency of the line voltage is at 62.8 Hz, that's 
odd.  I also doubt the temp of the UPS is 143F either.  I got a fan on 
it and it usually runs at about 85 to 90 or so.

I think I'm going to go back to the old version of nut unless someone 
has a better plan.  This new version may compile and install but it 
appears to need some more work on the coding end.  I wish I could get 
powstatd to work.  I used it when I was using Mandrake and it was 
wonderful.  It was small, not to bad to configure and it just plain 
worked.  I could *easily* set it to shutdown when power had been gone 
for more than 10 minutes too.  Out here, if the lights are off more than 
5 minutes or so, you may as well cut the puter off.  It's going to be a 
hour or two at least.

Thoughts?
