Packages Missing for Bullseye #8

Open jdohnstad opened 3 years ago

jdohnstad commented 3 years ago

Is it intended to install the nut-monitor GUI package?

I don't think most of the functionality enabled by this role requires the GTK GUI. This package doesn't seem to be available on Debian bullseye, causing the role to fail. Could packages be made configurable or maybe the nut-monitor package should just be excluded.

It seems nut-monitor has been removed because unmaintained. With the default role you can override which packages are installed though, e.g.:

- role: ntd.nut
  nut_packages:
    - nut-client
    - nut-server
  nut_services:
    - nut-driver
    - nut-server
  nut_ups:
    - name: ...
      driver: ...
      device: ...

Please, check if something similar works in your environment.

I'm glad to accept patches that add nut_packages to the documentation and/or remove nut-monitor on Sid/Bullseye (on old Debian it must stay for backward compatibility).
