Thanks for checking this. I should have been more clear in the second email in the thread, but commit 2999c95f0 is on the original "libusb-1.0" branch, which had a bunch of half-duplicated commits and other junk on it. There is now a "libusb-1.0+0.1" branch with all of that cleaned up. Originally just at https://github.com/zykh/nut.git, it is now on https://github.com/networkupstools/nut with a few additions (currently at revision 80bc452cc).

Although I suspect that the USB portion of nut-scanner could probably be replaced with a small shell script that parses the output of lsusb, this shouldn't be too hard to fix. Logged, in case it is not as simple as it looks: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/499

Agreed - looks like we will have that after a merge from master:
