          Why does this have to be a package? I just recently switch to 2.3, all my packages are available so not feeling your pain.  But can you not just install a freebsd port of what you want directly if not pfsense package?  I know you could do this on 2.2.6

          Is pfsense 2.3 locked down from directly installing freebsd ports?

            You are right, I could do that…. BUT :) I really like the ease of configuration and the display of battery % and consumption.
            I see there is a UPS widget, I might try and find out what it is and if there is remote client support for it. (I have a NUT server)

              Well the UPS widget is related to nut so it looks like is on the works…

              There is several nut dir but they are empty...

              [2.3-RC][root@blackfire.domain.net]/usr/local/www/widgets/widgets: find / -name nut -print
              /usr/local/libexec/nut
              /usr/local/etc/nut
              [2.3-RC][root@blackfire.domain.net]/usr/local/www/widgets/widgets: ls /usr/local/libexec/nut/
              [2.3-RC][root@blackfire.domain.net]/usr/local/www/widgets/widgets: ls /usr/local/etc/nut/
              [2.3-RC][root@blackfire.domain.net]/usr/local/www/widgets/widgets:

                Questions about NUT availability have been raised here for months now, but never a response from the package maintainer. Maybe the maintainer of NUT does not know about this forum?  :P
                I spent a few minutes a few weeks back to try to find out who the package maintainer is, but gave up again… Would be nice to hear what the status is as I think there are quite a few people waiting for NUT...

                    Yes it is locked. But it can be easily unlocked by editing or removing /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos pfsense.conf
                    there is an option to enable freebsd ports but currently it is not compatible, causing to update pkg in loop, so if somebody wants NUT package without GUI to be installed there is no problem, just delete file in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos or do not update pkg.
                    And yes you need to manually configure your nut to make it work :)

                    EDIT: Just tested with SNMP configured UPS. Works.

                      I started a bounty:

                      https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=109533.0

                      I started low… If we all pitch in we can get this to an attractive number where I am sure somebody at pfsense will pick it up :D

                        No need for a bounty. Last I heard, we plan on doing this shortly after 2.3, just haven't had time to get back to it yet due to all the 2.3-RELEASE work going on.

                              This is great news indeed.  Do you guys know when (approximately) this will be done?  Is there a timeline/plan?

                                Hi jimp, looking for some clarification from you on this.

                                Are you planning to 1) make nut a native feature to pfSense without the need to install it, or 2) port the nut package to be installed via the web ui?

                                Is there a bug ID assigned for this? All i found for this was https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6141

                                Thanks!

                                  You can look at the current version:
