Package: wnpp Severity: normal I've concluded that I need to reduce the number of packages I maintain, and offer the ipmitool package for adoption. I lack the hardware to test it, and it could use a caring hand. It is a tool to extract hardware status from computers providing the IPMI interface (mostly Intel servers).
This is the full package description: Description: utility for IPMI control with kernel driver or LAN interface A utility for managing and configuring devices that support the Intelligent Platform Management Interface. IPMI is an open standard for monitoring, logging, recovery, inventory, and control of hardware that is implemented independent of the main CPU, BIOS, and OS. The service processor (or Baseboard Management Controller, BMC) is the brain behind platform management and its primary purpose is to handle the autonomous sensor monitoring and event logging features. The ipmitool program provides a simple command-line interface to this BMC. It features the ability to read the sensor data repository (SDR) and print sensor values, display the contents of the System Event Log (SEL), print Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory information, read and set LAN configuration parameters, and perform remote chassis power control. At the moment the package contain 7 bugs, one of the RC (missing kernel header). It is written in C.
