[Nut-upsdev] Scheduling 2.6.2 release (was: on Ubuntu Developer Summit (Oneiric), NUT and 2.8.0)

[Arnaud Quette]

Hey,

I'm scheduling a 2.6.2 release for max. September 15.

The content will be lighter than first expected with 2.8.0 (see below).
This includes the current trunk plus:
- merge the nut-scanner branch,
- some snmp-ups improvements (sysOID matching for init stage) and some more
MIBs,
- a first complete version of the nut-ipmipsu driver,
- the new jNut Java binding,
- preliminary support of systemd integration.

So if you have any patch that should be in 2.6.2, raise your hand...

The following are postponed to 2.8.0:
- the configuration library and tools,
- the PowerChain implementation (RFC #2 and #3 (not issued)),
- the NSS branch merge (need verification),
- the Windows branch merge (need consolidation and verification).

cheers,
Arnaud

> I've been attending UDS Oneiric, from May 9 to 13 in Budapest, and had a

>
> The end target is to have NUT ready to address infrastructures, both static
> like data-centers and flexible like Clouds.
>
> Part of the interesting NUT topics are:
> - the nut-scanner, which is a WIP,
> - the configuration library and tools, with some existing results (Augeas
> lenses)
> - the nut-ipmi driver, at first to monitor PSU (also WIP, first commit this
> week),
> - the PowerChain notion, which brings a global vision on both the
> protection and the supervision of the electric network.
>
> Part of this blueprint, and of a long run reflexion, I'm also considering
> opening NUT to application data related to power (like PowerWake /
> PowerNap):
> the considered approach would be a driver that publish power related
> information from this app, and allow interaction (calling commands and doing
> settings, as for actual devices). This is still subject to discussion and
> investigation, but it would really make sense to have NUT being a "general
> power information provider".
>
> All these are scheduled for 2.8.0, around September. There will also be:
> - the work already done, like NSS support (as an alternative to OpenSSL)
> and the maturing Windows port.
> - a Java binding (jNUT), needed for Eucalyptus integration,
> - some work around Avahi and mDNS / DNS-SD.

> As usual, comments, feedback and help welcome ^_^
