I added them over the course of past jobs and university courses, but I have no further need of them, and they really could use people that actually use them. This first batch deal with IPMI hardware. I used IPMI hardware in my last t= wo jobs, but in the present one, we don't use it, and the packages do need maintenance with testing to make sure they actually work on the hardware. sys-apps/ipmitool sys-apps/ipmiutil sys-libs/freeipmi sys-libs/openipmi sys-libs/openhpi Again hardware related. You can deploy an iSCSI solution with just iscsitar= get and open-iscsi as a pair, but I have previously tried to test open-iscsi wi= th a hardware target, and iscsitarget with some other initiator (Windows or Solaris). sys-block/open-iscsi sys-block/iscsi-initiator-core-tools sys-block/iscsitarget Again, hardware related, with an software implementation possible. sys-block/aoetools sys-block/vblade Hardware, SCSI stuff dealing with enclosures and arrays: sys-block/scsirastools Hardware, SAS stuff (remote possibility I might come back for it if I get hardware for it): sys-block/smp_utils Hardware, NUMA-capable boxes: sys-process/numactl Hardware, Fibre-Channel: sys-apps/hbaapi sys-block/qla-fc-firmware sys-block/fwdl Hardware, for tuning network cards. In new enough kernels (should be most of 2.6), this is obsoleted by mii-tools and ethtool:=20 sys-apps/nictools Hardware, Firewire IEEE1394: sys-apps/fwcrv sys-block/endpoint Hardware, flash disks: sys-fs/mtd-utils (this was the replacement for sys-fs/mtd) Software, QEMU frontend: app-emulation/qenv Hardware, programming PIC embedded microcontrollers (the herd might end up = with these, but somebody with the hardware to use them would be nice): dev-embedded/icdprog dev-embedded/pikdev dev-embedded/xgpasm Software, I picked up maintenance of autofs when the previous maintainer we= nt AWOL several years ago, and ran with it because I needed AutoFS-LDAP. I don= 't have access to any AutoFS-LDAP setups anymore, and upstream has moved on. T= here is a 7Kb init.d script that badly needs complete rewriting due to upstream = and kernel changes: net-fs/autofs Networking, Linux ethernet Bridging. net-misc/bridge-utils Networking, SCTP protocol. net-misc/lksctp-tools Networking, SLIP over file descriptors. net-misc/vmnet Networking, VLAN management for managed switches: net-misc/vmpsd Networking, admin tool for some networked printers and JetDirect-style adap= ter boxes: net-print/npadmin Networking, modelling and predictive applications: sys-apps/tcng net-analyzer/nam net-analyzer/ns --=20 Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Council Member E-Mail : robbat2@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 --vkogqOf2sHV7VnPd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Robbat2 @ Orbis-Terrarum Networks - The text below is a digital signature.
