[arm-allstar] Hello From VA3AUM, Allstar Node 51986

[David McGough]

Hi Adam,

The nut application isn't currently available as a ready-to-run package
for the HamVoIP firmware release.  As Tony has mentioned, you can easily
download and compile this package yourself, for now. I (or he) can send
you simple instructions to do this, if needed.

I am currently in the process of a MAJOR upgrade for the HamVoIP release,
which I expect later this year. Once that update is complete, the nut
package will be included, since it's in the current
https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/ packages list. While I don't expect
this update will improve stability (the current release work REALLY WELL)  
or provide significant security enhancement, it will update many packages
that now have enhanced functionality.

More details about this will follow later.


73, David KB4FXC
