2022-06-09 17:29:20 Lena Voytek description An MIR was originally attempted a few years ago (see LP: #1576812) but was denied as the package was not yet in a good enough state. In that time ipmitool has become a more reasonable candidate for main inclusion. [Availability] The package ipmitool is already in Ubuntu universe. The package ipmitool builds for the architectures it is designed to work on. It currently builds and works for architectures: any Link to package [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipmitool|ipmitool]] [Rationale] - The package ipmitool will generally be useful for a large part of our user base since it is widely used in systems management and in various HA components. It is also suggested by tools such as cluster-glue which is in main [Security] - Based on CVE trackers ipmitool had 2 relevant security issues - CVE-2020-5208 (https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2020-5208): handled in 1.8.19 upstream and in a set of 6 patches in 1.8.18-10.1 Debian/Ubuntu - CVE-2011-4339 (https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2011-4339): Fixed in 1.8.11-5 - The binary ipmievd is installed to /usr/sbin. It has a fairly limited scope with limited exposure, acting as a daemon for sending IPMI events to syslog. ipmievd requires super user priveleges to access syslog. - The package installs a service corresponding to ipmievd located at: /etc/init.d/ipmievd and /lib/systemd/system/ipmievd.service - The package does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024), but defaults to using port 514 in certain situations. - The package does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software [Quality assurance - function/usage] - The package works well right after install. Site-specific options for accessing a BMC may be necessary, but are documented in the man page. [Quality assurance - maintenance] - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipmitool/+bug - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=ipmitool - The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and does not have too many bugs with nothing long term and critical open - The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support [Quality assurance - testing] - The package does not run a test at build time because it has no test suite. If it had tests they would likely have strict hardware dependencies. - The package does not have any autopkgtests [Quality assurance - packaging] - debian/watch is present and works - This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors Lintain results: W: ipmitool-dbgsym: elf-error In program headers: Unable to find program interpreter name [usr/lib/debug/.build-id/83/f454e3ecf71ef36fda026461a8785a747ec163.debug] W: ipmitool-dbgsym: elf-error In program headers: Unable to find program interpreter name [usr/lib/debug/.build-id/d9/d138606f42a79ef56f95617d3f57b765b3afe4.debug] - Lintian overrides are no longer present in the package - This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages. - This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies - The package will not be installed by default - Packaging and build is easy [UI standards] - Outside of the comand-line tool, the application is not end-user facing. It has no translations present though. - ipmitool has no desktop file, and is primarily used via the command-line on servers [Dependencies] - No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main [Standards compliance] - This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy [Maintenance/Owner] - Owning Team will be Ubuntu Server - Team is already subscribed to the package - This does not use static builds - This does not use vendored code [Background information] The Package description explains the package well Upstream Name is ipmitool Link to upstream project https://github.com/ipmitool/ipmitool An MIR was originally attempted a few years ago (see LP: #1576812) but was denied as the package was not yet in a good enough state.
