Comment 10 for bug 1074443

Sponsors: please upload ipmitool from the source in my PPA (with the ~ppa2 version suffix removed). The dsc is here: https://launchpad.net/~racb/+archive/experimental/+files/ipmitool_1.8.12-0ubuntu1%7Eppa2.dsc

This is a new upstream version, as the Debian bug to update to the new upstream has stalled, the previous release is years old, and the functionality from the newest release is useful for Ubuntu. Kent has kindly tested this from my PPA (comment above). ipmitool is in universe. I've dropped only patches that are either adopted upstream or no longer needed due to upstream changes. I merged from 1.8.11-5ubuntu1; 1.8.11-5 is the latest in Debian. Diff against 1.8.11-5ubuntu1 attached (debian/ directory only to avoid noise as this is a new upstream release).
