I have uploaded powstatd_1.3-1_i386.deb to incoming. Since incoming now has new pacakges that are one month old, I can hope that it will be processed soon. In the meantime, developers can get it from incoming for potato. A slink version is available at Powstatd's home:

Powstatd is known to run with a variety of Cyberpower UPS supplies (Power99 325VA, 400VA, 500VA and 720VA, Power2000 1500VA, and some older 385VA and 450VA models) and various older APC units. Powstatd is easily configured, and can be expected to support most "dumb" UPS supplies. . Powstatd can also be configured to allow a master machine to control (Via a network connection) up to 2 (by default) additional slave machines connected to the same UPS. This allows you to run several machines off the same UPS, with only one of the machines actually reading the UPS status over the serial line. -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
