Comment 0 for bug 1481780

In order to support those, the current ipmitool (1.8.13) in 14.04 needs to integrate 2 patches :
- a fix for the hpm library : https://sourceforge.net/p/ipmitool/bugs/38 which has been commited : ff80a188f3dc1eef105b2915361b1fce30ee4e4c
- a feature request : http://sourceforge.net/p/ipmitool/feature-requests/58/ that has not been commited so far

Typo : the URL for the hpm library is : http://sourceforge.net/p/ipmitool/bugs/382/

After testing the required patches onto 1.8.13, it appears that they do not apply cleanly and also that this
does not require trivial changes to the patches. I started working on this, but I'd prefer to have David Wise's
opinion on any requirements needed (commits/features) that could have been done between ipmitool 1.8.13 and current git master, not to lose time.
I sent a mail to David and am waiting for his feedback.

After contacting David Wise, he thinks that we can make the changes and provide a patch quickly once we have the correct source version.
I provided the necessary info so that he can have the exact source version of ipmitool used in Ubuntu 14.04 (that is http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/trusty-updates/ipmitool) and how to use this in order to setup his source tree.
