This achievement took a bit over a year, and almost 3000 commits to analyze and stomp out different small bugs, and it allows to set that tolerance level as default and insist on non-regressions with future iterations - as well as to work towards clearing the "hard" level eventually. And this became one of the criteria for cutting a new official NUT release (especially as new platforms refused to build release 2.7.4 with their default settings).<br></div><div><br></div><div> This work has originally delayed merging of libusb-1.0 support (from issue <a href="https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/300" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/300</a> and several candidate branches to pick from), in particular because with the original codebase sporting thousands of build warnings, it was hard to notice any new "offences" introduced by this large set of changes. I was afraid that merging it would even have to wait until after the next NUT release, but in the end found that some remaining warnings in the original USB-related NUT codebase made those branches' changes the better solution.</div><div><br></div><div> Now, before we find the hard way if the cure is worse than the disease, I would like to ask people with USB-connected UPSes (and also those using the MGE SHUT protocol) to build and test <a href="https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/tree/fightwarn-libusb-1.0+0.1" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/tree/fightwarn-libusb-1.0+0.1</a> branch with their setups - hopefully hitting as many OSes and CPU types as feasible, as well as trying both libusb-0.1, libusb-1.0 (and not sure about libusb-0.1-compat).</div><div><br></div><div> For building from scratch, note we now have a list of prerequisite packages for several platforms at <a href="https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/master/docs/config-prereqs.txt" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/blob/master/docs/config-prereqs.txt</a> - and as for other code, PRs there are welcome too. <br></div><div>Note also the new `ci_build.sh` script to automate a number of configurations and setups, usually reducing the typing needed to reproduce build attempts :)<br></div><div><br></div><div> I understand that some people would be away for holidays, but also realize that for others
these days may be among the few times in the year that can be dedicated to such experiments and other hobbies. It would be much appreciated if you can help bring the official new confident NUT release date closer ;)</div><div><br></div><div> The NUT CI farm is busy testing hundreds of build combinations formally in software, but it is no replacement for tests against actual hardware.</div><div><br></div><div> Also, great thanks to dozens of individual and corporate contributors adding and fixing NUT drivers and other features (a few are still being tested and may become part of the new release too), and sharing findings and ideas in the issue tracker -- you guys and gals are our real heroes!<br></div><div><br></div><div> Finally, on behalf of the NUT core team, please let me wish you all a happy holiday season and some quality time to rest, walk, ski and be with family and friends!</div><div><br></div><div>Jim Klimov</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
