[Nut-upsdev] [Nut-upsuser] NUT v2.8.4 coming up

[Greg Troxel]

I'm getting a build failure  under pkgsrc.   This is likely due to
introduction of a sed construct not specified by POSIX.  Posting first
before thinking due to threatened short timeframe :-)

Other issues:

  -with-doc is very confusing.    There is talk of "traditional",
   "legacy", and other mumbo jumbo, but I can't tell from reading
   configure.ac what is the documented, preferred option, and what  is
   accepted for compatibility.   I also can't tell if, when building
   from a tarball with docs, this results in not getting docs
   (unacceptable in a package), or installing the ones that were built
   and not rebuilding.
