Installing it exactly the same way on 3.3-RELEASE causes a nasty hang when the upsd tries to start. The host seems to be completely dead, can't even be pinged and Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work. Requires a power-cycle to recover. The maintainer listed for this package is alexis@ww.net. I have contacted this person and received the following reply: "While indeed I have written the software many years ago I haven't taken a look into it ever since. I would not have a clue what has happened to it and it is definitely not much of a use to have me listed as the maintainer of the port. Sorry to disappoint you." >How-To-Repeat: Install upsd-2.0 on 3.3-RELEASE as root. Launch with a shell script containing: #!/bin/sh [ -x /usr/local/sbin/upsd ] && /usr/local/sbin/upsd && echo -n ' upsd' >Fix: None known. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
