[Nut-upsdev] NUT - Network UPS Tools Augeas lenses availability

[Arnaud Quette]

Hi David, Raphael and the Augeas list,

just a small note to mention that NUT - Network UPS Tools lenses are
available, since NUT 2.6.0 release.

These are included in the official release, in the scripts/augeas directory:
http://www.networkupstools.org/download.html
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/nut/trunk/scripts/augeas/#_trunk_scripts_augeas_

The reason to ship these with NUT is simple: NUT is focused on hardware
support, which is always evolving. New drivers appears, older are
replaced... And with these comes configuration options.
The ups.conf file is so regenerated at distribution time, by extracting
automatically all drivers options, up to date with the release.

A chapter of the developer guide is also dedicated to explaining the use of
NUT lenses and Augeas:
http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/developer-guide.chunked/ar01s06.html

As a side note, NUT sources also ships language bindings.
The closer these are, the more we are sure these are up to date ;-)

A last thank to Raphael Pinson, who initiated and did a great part of the
job.
And a big thank to David and you all for Augeas.

cheers,
Arnaud
