Thanks Ted,


  that echoes my thoughts: any HW supported by NUT at some point and with a population of units physically alive, whether marketed or supported by original vendors or not, should better be documented.


  So if the old docs are in some way better than new one, even if explaining quirks not relevant and not documented for same-named models or firmware sold today, I believe such docs should remain available (maybe marked as old stuff, but ready for revision). After all, currently shipped drivers probably correspond to that spec?..


@Dinow: how strict is the business/etc. requirement to make that older info truly unavailable? Can we keep it visible but maybe marked deprecated? 


Jim

Thanks, Dinow,


I'm not a NUT admin but you posted this to a public mailing list so I'm going to just send a response to that list since it's a public posting.


The current documentation you sent is much sparser than the older docs.  So I think the older docs are going to still be valuable for just that reason alone, as an addition to the newer current documentation.  I do not know what the admins are going to do but I would hope they merely mark the old documents as "Old" and add this to them.



Unlike commercial software, open source software projects usually do not have the luxury of removing support for older hardware that is no longer in production from the manufacturer.


As a NUT user I cannot thank you enough for supporting open source software projects like NUT.
