Well, that's odd. I just built it and see nothing of the sort. I built |
| 65 |
it with all USE flags. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
I am not using nut now, but I was trying it about a year ago. I did have |
| 68 |
a client (it wasn't knutclient), maybe it was removed from the tree. |
| 69 |
That's disappointing. |

How much information do your users need? I'm running KDE5 with apcupsd |
| 72 |
and an APC UPS, and the battery monitor built in to KDE shows me that |
| 73 |
the battery is at 100% (it doesn't really say much else, though.) |
