Hello, Jim, Thank you for answering.
Could you please comment on whether you think the project is more alive than dead, or the vast majority of system administrators are switching to ipmiutil or something else? I'm asking because we've been using ipmitool for a long time, we did some input into it to satisfy our needs, but the project activity makes its future dim. Could you also comment on whether the ipmitool releases undergo some release testing? There is (among other) a lot of OEM-specific stuff in the utility which obviously can be tested only by those who possess the corresponding hardware, and which can be broken when the utility code is re-factored. Do OEM vendors offer help for testing OEM-specific things? By the way, I personally offer my support for testing generic PICMG/VITA functionality for release purposes.
