            Bug ID: 265014
           Summary: sysutils/nut & sysutils/nut-devel doesn't have modbus
                    support enabled
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---

Network UPS Tools (NUT) is a package for Uninterruptible Power Supply
management. Since NUT v2.8.0, drivers for several new UPS models, including
generic_modbus, phoenixcontact_modbus, huawei-ups2000, socomec_jbus, and
adelsystem_cbi are added (I'm the author of one of the drivers). However, the
use of these drivers requires an external library comms/libmodbus installed and
the build option --with-modbus switched on when building NUT.

On FreeBSD, two packages sysutils/nut and sysutils/nut-devel are provided, but
none has Modbus support enabled. Thus, users of Modbus-based UPS systems cannot
manage them on FreeBSD via NUT.

sysutils/nut and sysutils/nut-devel should add a Modbus build option. Further,
it should be enabled by default to allow users of these UPS models to use the
binary package without rebuilding from port.
