Mac OS X: installer .pkg and startup scripts

Open clepple opened this issue 11 years ago • 3 comments

This issue covers installing a command-line-only version of NUT on OS X.

  • [ ] Build procedure for installer .pkg
  • [ ] launchd startup scripts
    • [x] upsd
    • [x] upsmon
    • [ ] drivers (separate, rather than upsdrvctl?)
    • [ ] uninstaller script ("make uninstall" assumes make is available)

~~Ideally, we would have some self-update capability (like Sparkle), but for now, there is https://freecode.com/projects/networkupstools~~ (update: freecode is dead)

Much has changed in the macOS landscape since I opened this issue, and I personally don't think we have a large enough Mac user base to justify setting up developer certificates and the like to support a smooth package-based installation process. It is possible to get some form of NUT working with https://brew.sh

Leaving the issue open in case someone else wants to take this on.
