<p dir="ltr">Packaging issues would be brought up with the distro... I have recently worked with Homebrew on a Mac VM for the CI farm, but otherwise have no clue about the ecosystem. Last saw/touched a physical Mac in school, 1994 or so :D</p>
<p dir="ltr">Upsmon as such has no need for XML (libneon et al); that would be nut-scanner and the Eaton NetXML protocol driver.</p>
