Hello again, Back when I last wrote I had submitted the patch request to the apcupsd project using their recommended procedure of a mailing list post, but have not heard any feedback about it yet. Given that the apcupsd project has not been much development lately and it has been more than two years since their last release, that may be a very slow way for the patch to make it's way into the FreeBSD ports tree. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=BAY147-W26409A36B1611A87DB5D4DC3F50%40phx.gbl&forum_name=apcupsd-users In the mean time, it would be great to have the patched applied to the FreeBSD ports tree. That way those who are using APC 9606 devices on their networks will not have to hand patch the source to avoid it dumping core on startup. :) Thanks again, Birch birch wrote on 2/19/2013 11:06 AM: > Sure, I will do that as well. > > It looks like not much development has happened since late 2011, so who > knows when they will push out their next release. > > Ion-Mihai Tetcu wrote on 2/19/2013 10:21 AM: >> I have no problem integrating this patch, but it should be really >> submitted upstream ... >> >> On Tue, 19 Feb 2013 09:16:37 -0800 >> birch <birch@naturalpoint.com> wrote: >> >>> Hello again, >>> >>> Just did an upgrade to FreeBSD 9.1 and I noticed that the apcupsd >>> port still has this crash and requires the patch.
