trolConverveBattery change to smtp requested by
  Kastus Shchuka (kastus@list.sourceforge.net)  -  Move  wall  in
killpower of apccontrol to after killpower to avoid
  errors  stopping script.  - Install apctest along with apcupsd.
- Fix DISTVER for RH Enterprise 19Dec03 -  Added  patch  by  Adam
Kropelin that ignores invalid samples. This
  eliminates the need for the wait, and seems to calm the system.
Apparently,
  even though apcupsd did not use the bad samples, it would break
from the
  wait loop, and request an update, which gave even more bad sam-
ples. With
  Adam's patch the samples are simply  dropped  and  we  continue
waiting (if
  appropriate).   Thanks  Adam.   18Dec03 - Add Slackware updated
patch submitted by Andrei Mamontov - Corrected  the  missing  li-
brary dependencies in src/Makefile.in
  Thanks to Reg. Clemens for pushing me a bit on this.  06Dec03 -
Added usleep(10000) provided by Reg. Clemens, which resolves the
  apcuspd USB problems on 2.6 kernels.  Now  removed  by  19Dec03
patch.   24Nov03  - Added a ONBATTERYDELAY to the conf file. This
is the time in
  seconds that apcupsd will wait after detecting a power failure
  until it sets the onbattery state.  If you do not want to be
  annoyed by short power outages (usually less than 10 seconds),
  set the ONBATTRYDELAY appropriately and comment out the
  powerout) "echo ...|wall" statement.  - I finally  got  the  no
driver configured error. It turns out that the
  Makefile  detection of changes is all botched up. Since I don't
understand
  how the author expected it to work, I used the sledgehammer ap-
proach and
  do  a  "make  clean" on every ./configure.  - Replaced apcnet.c
with Howard Wilkinson's new master/slave code. If
  anyone *really* needs the old driver, it is in src/apcnet.c.old
- Upgraded to Cygwin 1.5.5

Everything  below  this was done in 3.10.7 08Nov03 - Do automatic
UPS detection in the USB code if no device is specified
  or if the specified device cannot be opened.  -  Include  patch
provided by Howard Wilkinson, but put the new apcnet.c
  in  apcnet.c.new until I have a chance to examine it in detail.

  His notes:
  I  attach  a  complete  rewrite  of  the  Master  side  of  the
mast/slave code
  to  support asynchronous connections to slaves.  I needed to do
this as
  our network has a number of machines that tend  to  be  powered
off for
  long  periods  and  the connect() calls were hanging around for
more than
Attempt to get mkinstalldirs called by an absolute path rather
  than relative.  - Apply Lars'  fixes  to  platforms/Makefile.in
and platforms/etc/Makefile.in
  Install   scripts   with  $(INSTALL_SCRIPT)  instead  of  $(IN-
STALL_PROGRAM) - Close all file descriptors except stdin/out/err.
-  If  there are no stdin/out/err (Windows), then create them and
point them
  to /dev/null.  This prevents the serial port from suddenly get-
ting
  debug  output  sent  to it -- chaos.  - It seems that since the
beginning of 3.10.x, the APCSMART_UPS never
  reported the proper status. This is because it was not  in  the
case
  statement.  Incredible  since  it is now the "standard" driver!
Thanks
  to the user that brought this to my attention.  -  Fix  a  seg-
fault in linux-usb.c due to reference one beyond the command
  table. This happens only on newer USB UPSes. Thanks to the user
who
  pointed this out.
