Technical notes on my code submission of 16 Dec 99 Carl Erhorn General: - I've added some source files to the sun directory, changed many others as a result of testing, and added a README.solaris file in the source directory. I added my name to a new port entry in the Developers file, 'Solaris Port:'. - This is the first real attempt to provide a port of the 3.7.0 package to the Sun Solaris system. I am currently testing on a Solaris X86 system, running Solaris 2.6 with all recommended patches, and the Y2K recommended patches. The UPS is an APC SMartUPS-700, attached by a standard serial port. - I have moved the PID files into /etc/apcupsd, rather than using /etc. It keeps all the related files except the lock file in one place. - Many thanks to Kern and Riccardo, who helped me get the initial bugs out, provided a tremendous amount of information, and made many changes for me as a result of my feedback. Kern in particular has been instrumental in my getting going again with the porting process. Work to complete: - I have not done careful testing of the network features, as I do not have a second Solaris system here. However, I intend to test using a Redhat Linux system as a net client, and will be building the package on that system soon. Suggestions: - I think that the killpower diagnostic messages should not be displayed unless the daemon determines that it cannot get an OK response from any of the methods that it tries. As long as one method works, the diagnostic messages should be suppressed.
