[Nut-upsuser] building from git (was Re: Install problems (group permissions) with nut 2.7.2)

[Rob Groner]

Ok, that worked great.  I make a .tar, took it somewhere else, untarred it, configured, and built.  Then I installed the result and ran it, and it shows 2.7.2.6_RTD for  a version number.  Awesome!

Today I work on commands to tell the UPS to turn off...fun!
