- Update to version 2.8.0
For more see NEWS and UPGRADING in /usr/share/doc/packages/nut.
* NUT now supports more i2c and modbus devices, as well as libusb-1.0
support as an alternative to earlier libusb-0.1 (so new
dependency-based categories of packages for drivers may be due).
* NUT Python modules and scripts (e.g. NUT-Monitor variants) should
work with python-2.7 and with python-3.x, so covering historic
distro releases as well as new ones (and so your distro can deliver
one or both, probably in several packages with different
dependencies in the latter case).
* NUT provides revised reference systemd and SMF service unit
definitions, including support of drivers wrapped into individual
service instances with varying dependencies based on different
media required (networked stack, USB stack, etc.), and many daemons
include -F option for running "in foreground" to avoid extra
forking after one already done by a service framework - you may
want to use those in your packaged deliverables.
* NUT newly provides the "nut-driver-enumerator" script and service,
which allows it to follow edition of ups.conf and dynamically
define+(re)start and stop+undefine service instances for drivers -
there are several ways it can be integrated for different
use-cases.
* Yhere are several new configuration keywords and CLI options - so
while new NUT builds should work with old configs and scripts, the
opposite is not necessarily true (old binaries may reject
configurations taking advantage of new features).
* There are several new protocol keywords - but old and new NUT
daemons (data server and clients) should be able to communicate
both ways.
* It is assumed that API/ABI changes may require third-party NUT
clients (library consumers of libnutclient, libupsclient,
libnutscan... -- their version info was bumped accordingly) to get
rebuilt, in order to work with the new NUT release in a stable
fashion.
* The dummy-ups driver used in automated testing now processes *.dev
filename patterns once and does not loop, like it still does for
*.seq and other files (by default).
* USB code is now more strict about logical minimum/maximum ranges
for data reported from devices, and some devices were already found
to make mistakes - so there is also a mechanism for turning a blind
eye to known issues and fix-up such report descriptors to produce
intended sane values.
* New documentation page docs/config-prereqs.txt highlights packaged
dependencies installable on a large range of platforms to build as
much of NUT as possible (incidentally, ones NUT CI farm uses to
test every iteration).
- Remove upstreamed and obsolete patches:
* nut-doc-cables.patch
* nut-systemd-dirs.patch
* nut-upssched.patch

not packaged)

* nut-Solaris-init-files.patch
NUT-2.7.4 has been broken in Tumbleweed/Factory since Jan 9th. I've upgraded it to NUT-2.8.0, but unfortunately I don't have a real UPS available for testing if this work, nor if upgrading from a previous version is smooth.
Having said that, I did check with the 'dummy-ups' driver and this seems to start/run without issues, so this should be a reasonable starting point.
Thank you Arjen. I did some basic tests with Eaton 5E and seems to work, thus I recommend to accept this.
(@sbrabec is on long leave, @saweber is just a default assignee, so let us see whether someone from hardware will step in)
Although I was a core upstream developer for NUT until 2011, I no longer own a serviceable UPS anymore, so testing is difficult for me.
Let's see if we can get this accepted before Dominique reports this broken package in Factory.
Do not hesitate to ask me for help with testing then. I guess you could reqms the package if you find it still attractive, Stanislav will not start to contribute anytime soon.
