Hi Bernd, Please, pretty please express your current opinion on this bug. Freeze is approaching quickly, it would be a shame to miss it again. Will you rename the wbemcli binary in python-pywbem? If yes, or if you don't want to ship python-pywbem in jessie, please reassign this bug to it. Otherwise please drop me a note and I'll reassign this bug to sblim-wbemcli and fix it there. -- Looking forward to hearing from you soon, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, A Google search for 'wbemcli' only seems to bring back results related to the sblim-wbemcli version. It also seems to be the more capable tool. Perhaps you could use python-wbemcli or wbemcli.py or similar for the python script? But one way or another, could you please resolve this? Many thanks. Cheers, Vik -- My other sig is hilarious

Hi Bernd, Although I've already lost any hope of getting sblim-wbemcli into wheezy due to this bug (I didn't know its freeze exception would expire), I'd still appreciate your feedback on the matter, if you can spare the time. -- Thanks, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, Although I've already lost any hope of getting sblim-wbemcli into wheezy due to this bug (I didn't know its freeze exception would expire), I'd still appreciate your feedback on the matter, if you can spare the time. sorry for the delay :( Actually I've already submitted a patch to python-wbem to rename the cli, but stumbled upon another bug asking to add more of the example code stuff - so i think its actively used already. I think we should implement a bit more sophisticated way which at least informs people about the change. Maybe a NEWS.Debian entry in pywbem is enough. Not sure :( Cheers, Bernd -- Bernd ZeimetzDebian GNU/Linux Developer http://bzed.dehttp://www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Could you summarize the advantages/disadvantages of sblim-wbemcli over

Hi,
I can't say much about the Python version, because it refuses to work
with our storage:
$ wbemcli.distrib our.storage.niif.hu -n /root/hpq --no-ssl
Connected to http://our.storage.niif.hu
ei('DHS_Fan')
Traceback (most recent call last):

parse_cim
attrs(tt)[CIMVERSION])
NameError: global name 'CIMVERSION' is not defined
My Python is weak, but it seems to boil down to pywbem expecting version
2.0. Here it gets CIM CIMVERSION=2.10 DTDVERSION=2.1.1 instead.
The equivalent SBLIM command is
$ wbemcli ei 'http://our.storage.niif.hu:5988/root/hpq:DHS_Fan'
and it gives back the requested information. (This storage sports a
nonstandard SMI-S implementation, but I doubt that would be responsible
for the above.)
As you can see, the interface is similar as far as the command names are
concerned, but also very different: the Python version is an interactive
wrapper exposing the Python interpreter, while sblim-wbemcli is a one
shot utility.
Also, as pywbem is a library, wbemcli.py looks more like a testing tool,
sample usage or proof of concept to me than something meant for
production use. When I was looking for a WBEM interface (mostly for
monitoring purposes) I was very glad to find a library, which I was
expecting to use in our custom monitoring plugins instead of parsing the
output of some standalone utility. Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

Hi :) I was more than surprised to run into you twice in such a short time (freeipmi packaging and this bug)! you might even run into me again if you want to become a DD :D How should we sort out this issue? Do you want to keep your wbemcli executable? I would say we compare both and let the one which is more useful keep the name. Interesting would be to know if the current one is in use already. A popcon of 90 is not that high. So from a current user's POV renaming the current wbemcli is probably a bad idea... I did not yet have the time to look into the issue, I have to admit. Could you summarize the advantages/disadvantages of sblim-wbemcli over the python version? Is there a common interface?
