Hello Partha,

please, open bugs for those at
https://sourceforge.net/p/ipmitool/bugs/ once SF.net recovers from
whatever they're doing. Posting patches to mailing list is good for
discussion, but I'm afrad that's about it.

Well, 3-4k of those are from using bitfields which are 1] GCC specific
2] aren't even fast. Some, although I don't know how many, warnings
are related to bitfields, because wrong type is compared. However, if
bitfield wasn't there, this probably wouldn't have happened. I'd say
it would be better to remove bitfield first in some cases.
Anyway. How to contribute to fix them. Look up what's the meaning of
the warning, evaluate, create patch(es) to fix it, push the patch(es).
Repeat until almost everything is fixed or death :) That's how I did
it so far.
And cleaning up bitfields will be a bit of work, I'd say.

Indeed, this is a good place to ask and discuss such things.

Thanks,
Z.
