<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello all,</div><div><br></div><div> Did anyone pick up this "growth opportunity" to modernize a Qx subdriver and protocol docs library, with vendor cooperation, and possibly get paid and/or an UPS to test against in the process?</div><div><br></div><div> Or would someone step up to do so, please? It would be folly and unhealthy of the NUT community to let this slip through...</div><div><br></div><div> On my side, I've recently made sure that the current NUT master codebase can be built on CentOS 6, but as not so much a developer (and with dayjob queues) I can't commit to the actual work on device and driver... That said, with the two data points above it could be low-hanging fruit to craft the mapping-table entries... (ideally in a `nutdrv_qx` subdriver rather than `blazer_usb` though).<br></div><div><br></div><div>Jim</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jan 20, 2023 at 8:44 AM Alexander <<a href="mailto:ak@enfall.com">ak@enfall.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg6120058023967826768"><div lang="RU"><div class="m_-4167209893456628883WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)" lang="EN-US">Hello NUT users,<br><br>Earlier we sent a similar request to the mailing list in 2022, hope somebody may be interested now and help us with the issue described below, or can advice someone who can do this work. <br>Of course, we are ready to reward for such help, if you have the opportunity to solve the problem, please let us know the price of the solution.
