Public bug reported:
The ipmctl package in Focal needs to be updated to a newer version to support
Barlow Pass DCPMM
(new hardware enablement).
In Focal, the package supports only Apache Pass (ie, the first
generation of the hardware) -- but by now, Barlow Pass has been released
to regular customers.
Some history:
Before Focal freeze, we had a dilemma of either leaving ipmctl at 1.0 (Apache
Pass only) or uploading an early beta of 2.0 (Apache+Barlow Passes). After a
private discussion, we went with the latter, with a promise of a freeze
exception for final 2.0. Alas, the final release has been delayed, being
finished only some time after Focal.
Unfortunately, among other fixes, one of late changes required a compat
version bump, making the beta released with Focal unable to talk to
production Barlow Pass hardware (at least DIMMs with latest firmware).
On the other hand, any disruptive changes (like obsoleting the monitor,
changing soname from libipmctl3 to libimpctl4, etc) are already in
place, making the update safe. The 2.0 branch has received a bunch of
fixes and documentation updates, while all new development goes
elsewhere -- thus, I believe it would be reasonable to put its newest
version as a stable update as-is, without cherry-picking just most
important commits.
