Hank,
Zdenek and others:
Here is a message on this
topic that PPS management asked me to forward to this
reflector.
--- As we've said previously, it is
certainly understandable if Zdenek no longer has the
bandwidth to invest in this area; we continue to thank you
for your efforts thus far, Zdenek!
We have made a substantial
investment in ipmitool over the years, with development
of the patches that triggered this discussion being just a
small part, but we are not prepared to take over
maintenance of ipmitool for the entire community. We'll
continue to assist our customers in the relevant contexts
for use of this valuable tool, but we don't have the
bandwidth to have a broader involvement than that.
If one or more folks or
companies step forward to take this responsibility, we'll
be pleased to cooperate with them, as we have done to this
point. Pending that, we'll focus on supporting
our own customers.
---
Regards,

We did our ipmitool bug-fixes on a paid basis too, so I understand your position.Everybody else has the same deal and it makes sense from certain business point of view. It depends what your product is, what drives your customers and so on. But you can say somebody from corporation A pops up, spends some time with something, and gets pulled to other stuff.I'll pass the response to my employers in order to get the plan how to move patches further.Please, don't get me wrong. I don't blame Pigeonpoint or you. I meant it in general and pitching/asking for long term solution. Pretty much all vendors should give this a thought as they're all affected one way or another. One guy doing this in free time doesn't seem like a good solution. If I ever manage to un-buffer enough, I'll try to get back. It might be next weekend, next moth or never. For better or worse, some changes are coming in a month or so. However, in my opinion, this project needs more than just integration of "new features". But it's just my opinion. However, should it continue by just integration and snowballing, then I'm no longer needed here anymore and can move on. [...]On more thing, can you tell if anyone else beside you administrates (actively) the project?Administration like to grant commit privileges? Yes. Participating on the project? No. Majority of those people are/used to be from Kontron and my guess is Kontron did whatever it needed to with IPMI tool, say an integration of sorts, and moved on.
