DSM 7.1 How/when does Synology update the opensource packages, like NUT, for example?

[jcrist90]

Hello all,

I have a question - how / when does Synology decide to propagate the new version of a linux package to its distro? Also, how to correlate the release of a library from the git repo to the one used by NAS?

Let me give an example to clarify. Let's say I would like to understand the release of the NUT (Network UPS Tools) used by Synology. From the Synology console, I see the following NUT installed on my DS:

Network UPS Tools upsc DSM7-1-42464-211216

But when I'm checking the NUT git repo, the latest release is 2.8.0+ as you can see here.

So, is it possible to understand, which NUT release (or fork of which release) corresponds to the upsc DSM7-1-42464-211216?

You can download and view the OS s/w used by Synology by visting Synology Archive Download Site - Index of /download/ToolChain/Synology NAS GPL Source

The archive is split into DSM 6.x & 7.x sections, and source .tars are organised by cpu architecture...eg the DS718+ uses the apollolake packages.

It appears that the current DSM 7 uses NUT v2.6 for all archs.
