Beta test of new NUT UPS package

@dennypage:

It's been tracked down to a specific problem with a branch of the repo. I'm sure it will be fixed soon.

Thank you for your patience.

Awesome, thank you!  :)

You can fix it right now by installing beta 6 back manually or change your firmware branch to development, re-install package (you can do it from GUI, even if package itself is broken) and then change branch to stable.
Or just wait for a fix in repo.

Thank you for the reply and I will wait for fix in repo.

Still waiting for NUT to be installed and usable.

I tried this today. I switched to the development branch in Updates, reinstalled the NUT package. Although the installation completed successfully, NUT would not start and there was no GUI menu for NUT either.
Configured my system back to stable branch, reinstalled NUT with the error and left it like that until a fix arrives.

Hi Denny,

Just want to say thank you for the great work, I'm still on beta 3, it was working fine and I wanted to wait until the release had had feedback.

My set up here has had a power cut and everything worked perfectly both with the master and all of the slaves. Huge weight off my mind and key component in me being able to recommend pfsense to people.

Anything to bear in mind now upgrading from b3 to the latest version?

Thanks again.

John

John,

Should be no problem moving from beta 3 to the release version.

I had no issues on my site uninstalling the latest beta and installing the prod version.

Thanks for the opportunity to help beta test this package.
