Re: [Freeipmi-devel] freeipmi : Request to spin up a new version of freeipmi with ppc64le support.
Thanks Chu I have tested the freeipmi-1.3.4.ppc64le.1.tar.gz and able to build it on ppc64le machine. One question on the frreipmi release. When you are going to release a new version of freeipmi and are you going to release the new version by keeping the these changes? Appreciate your response.

Hi Chu, The source tar you provided(freeipmi-1.3.4.ppc64le.tar.gz) need to have the latest config.guess file in order to build on ppc64le archticture.

Hi Chu, we are looking at new release tarball for distro to pick up of freeipmi. We are looking at being able to point the pkg tarball to the distro such that the pkg build in the distro build( that will obvious Little Endian version of Power Linux) without further issues.
