4. Optimised packaging proposal

Note

The below proposed packages split is subject to discussion.

The aim of this is to:

This standard was created by:

4.1. Overview of the package tree

FIXME: make a dependency graph

4.2. Detailed view of the package tree

Note

  • The Desc field represent the package’s description, as exposed by the packaging system. Each package’s description is composed of a paragraph common to all NUT packages, and a part that is specific to the package. The common part (further referenced by COMMON DESC) is: 
Network UPS Tools (NUT) is a client/server monitoring system that allows computers to share
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and power distribution unit (PDU)
hardware. Clients access the hardware through the server, and are notified
whenever the power status changes.
  • The Files field lists the content of the package.
  • The mentioned Size is a rough estimation of packaged and installed size. This may varies across the systems and architecture, and is based upon the Debian x86 packages.
  • The Deps field lists the dependencies of the packages. The exact name may vary across the various systems.
  • The Comment field is used to place comment for points subject to discussion.

Note: "nut" can be a meta package

This kind of tree obviously need modification on the conf/make
files of NUT to allow build/install in a separate way.
