Not even that. The same would be true as for all other .spec files we  
currently have. With the help of many autodetection scripts we might  
be able to come up with a somewhat useable .spec file for existing  
distributions, but this will not be able to handle all future changes  
that there may be.

What I would like to see is some links on the website where the latest  
packages for various distributions can be found. All too often we find  
ourselves pointing out users with very old installations where to find  
newer versions. Apparently, the nut-users list is more accessible for  
them than asking the people who packaged NUT for them. Maybe we should  
ask them more often "have you asked your vendor/distribution  
maintainer for an update"? ;-)

Best regards, Arjen
