Orphaning apcupsd

[Michal Hlavinka]

Hi,

my APC UPS died and as I won't be buying new APC UPS, I can no longer 
test and investigate bugs. So apcupsd is free for taking if anyone wants 
it.

Cheers,
Michal

Well, I need it but I don't really _want_ it.  So it would be nice if
someone else using it would join in.

I've taken the Fedora branches, and EPEL7.  I might be convinced to take
the older EPEL branches but only if I can build it without a lot of
cruft in the spec and only if someone is there to test it.

I'm cleaning up the spec now.

Eh, I could help.  I don't do anything very fancy with it, and my small
simple UPS is on my mailserver, which I don't really want to do a lot of
powerfail testing on, but at least I have it in use.

So I could help with EPEL if you want; generally though, packages like
this don't get rebased or updated much in EPEL so I doubt it's much
work.

If anyone has a more interesting apcupsd setup, it might make more
sense for them to step up but in a pinch, I'll help.

I'm just posting for the record. sandeen and I chatted on IRC and he's
set up now.

All maintainers are welcome.  I have a number of UPS units including
some big SRT 10KVA units, but really I think I only have three different
models and they're all pretty new.  So there isn't that much
"interesting" testing I can do, either.

Anyway, I've cleaned up the spec file a bit and run through the
tickets.  It looks like at least a couple of them would be fixed by
small changes or pushing an updated version to EPEL7 so I'll look at
doing those soon.
