Apcupsd-3.10.10-1 RPM Release Notes 18 January 2004 D. Scott Barninger These release notes detail changes in the rpm packages. Please see the release notes in the tarball for other changes. ***************************************************************** * This rpm release contains some important changes since 3.10.8 * ***************************************************************** The platform designator (rh7, rh8, rh9) has been REMOVED from the package names as this was creating some problems. Hence, you CAN NOT upgrade existing 3.10.8 or lower installations with these packages (rpm -U). To upgrade: 1. Backup your configuration file (/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf) "just to be safe." 2. Uninstall the old apcupsd package, ie. rpm -e apcupsd-usb-rh9 If you are not sure what package name is installed do rpm -qa | grep apcupsd 3. Install the new package with rpm -i ***************** * Other Changes * ***************** - This release adds the net driver which was missing from previous builds. - The usb serial port device has been set to BLANK in the usb package which will cause apcupsd to search all known locations. This eliminates the problem with the "nonstandard" locations which were used in RedHat 7.x. The previous patch used to fix that has been eliminated. ****************** * Platform Notes * ****************** We now have a dedicated box dual-booting RedHat 7.3 and 8.0 for the purpose of providing continued packaging support as long as it is desired. All packages are built with all of the latest applicable updates applied. In the case of RedHat 7 and 8 we are pulling in the latest Progeny updates as well thanks to the folks at http://oss.redundant.com/pub/party-updates/ .
